[Column] The Wedding Girl - Getting Hitched in the Beaches of South Walton in the fall.

I’m thrilled to be on the South Walton Scene and bring you the latest and greatest gossip in beach weddings!

What an amazing time of year to get married!  October is the second most popular month to get married on the beaches of Northwest Florida (May being the most popular) and why not?!  The weather is cooler (perspiration markings on clothes are sooo last season!), the humidity is down (read:  less hairspray ladies) and neighbors pass each other on the streets once again. 

This is a great time of year for locals to host (what I have termed) an at-home destination wedding.   For locals, this is the perfect set-up.  It’s all the frills and fantasy of a destination wedding in our own backyard: the beach.

I have a friend getting married in November in Seaside.  She lives here locally in Santa Rosa Beach but couldn’t think of a better place and one that she loves more than her home at the beach. For the couple, it’s just a little backyard wedding. For the traveling guests, it will be one fantastic destination wedding, and for all the guests that live locally (moi’), we’ll pretend to be on vacation, visit with our friends, drink wine, and dance under the stars wearing our new pashmina wraps (oh, oops, that will be me!), and return home to fall asleep in the comfort of our own homes.

A warm, Southern welcome to all those visiting destination wedding parties and local wedding parties as well.  Enjoy our little backyard and best wishes!
