Beach weddings have become increasingly popular over the years, as they provide a beautiful backdrop for a romantic and intimate ceremony. Many choose a late afternoon start time when the sun is beginning to set and the sky is turning beautiful colors. Wedding dresses shimmer in the sun, the bridesmaids in tropical colors, the groom and his men in linen, and the addition of the tropical flowers completes the picture. The perfect start to a happily ever after!
There are many stunning beach destinations in the USA, but these are the three states most popular for beach weddings in the USA:
Hawaii
We knew this though, right? With its pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets, Hawaii is a dream wedding destination for many couples. The islands offer a variety of settings for weddings, from secluded beaches to luxury resorts. Hawaii is also a popular choice for destination weddings because of its unique blend of tropical beauty, cultural richness, and adventure, and each island has its own vibe. Maui is considered the most romantic and luxurious of all the islands, where as Kauai is widely considered the prettiest. When choosing which island, make sure to research because each island offers something different, or visit several during your stay!
Florida
Florida is another popular beach wedding location, with its endless stretches of white sand beaches and warm, sunny weather. The state offers a variety of locations for weddings, from lively beach towns like Miami and Key West to more secluded spots like Sanibel Island and Clearwater Beach.
