Everyone loves an outdoor wedding in the fall. The temperatures are cooler, but not too cool, the morning skies seem bluer and the sunsets are a radiant blend of pinks and oranges. If you’re planning fall nuptials, consider the sugar-white sands of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach for your destination wedding location.
Whether you say your vows on the sand or from the deck of a beachfront cottage, the natural surroundings will provide a picturesque backdrop for your special day. Make your event a day to remember with unique touches that only a beach wedding can provide.
• Send a love letter afloat with your wedding date in a message in a bottle.
• Send guests home with a little piece of the beach. Sprinkle a little sand in a clear goodie bag with seashells in it for guest favors.
• If your nuptials will be in the sand, provide each guest with a pair of flip flops.
• Consider a departure from the norm and use starfish for boutonnières.
Another plus to beach weddings in the fall are the off-season lodging rates. For a list of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach lodging options, visit the directory to find the hotel, condominium or beach house that is right for your guests.
