Trending Wedding Add-Ons Couples Are Loving Right Now

Planning a wedding along Florida's Emerald Coast means embracing beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and plenty of ways to personalize your day. One of the easiest ways couples are elevating their weddings right now is through curated add-ons that reflect their style, vision, and vibe. From romantic details to full-on experiences, here are some of the most popular wedding add-ons we’re seeing couples fall in love with.

Add-Ons Available Directly from Emerald Coast Marriage:

1. Unity Sand Ceremony: A meaningful and symbolic way to represent two lives becoming one, the Unity Sand Ceremony is one of our most popular ceremony add-ons. Couples select custom sand colors and pour them into a keepsake vessel they can display in their home long after the wedding.

2. Additional Fresh Bouquets & Boutonnières: While our ceremony packages include a fresh floral bouquet and boutonnière, many couples choose to add extra florals for family members, children, or attendants. This allows everyone to feel part of the celebration and adds even more beauty to your photos and ceremony setting.

3. Flower Girl Shell Basket: A beach-inspired twist on a classic tradition, our flower girl shell basket replaces petals with small shells or decorative accents that perfectly complement the coastal vibe.

4. Wedding Cake: Whether it's for a small cutting ceremony or a sweet post-vow treat, adding a personalized cake is a simple way to celebrate in style right on the beach.

5. Curated Tablescape for Reception/Celebration: For couples planning a post-ceremony reception or intimate event, our custom tablescape setups include beautiful decor, elegant tableware, fresh florals, and other special details that elevate your celebration.

6. Personalized Signage: Custom signage is both practical and decorative. Welcome signs, ceremony markers, or personalized vow boards add a polished, cohesive look to your setup while reflecting your unique style.

   

Other Popular Wedding Add-Ons (Coordinated Through Preferred Vendors):

1. Beach Bonfire: Few things feel more magical than gathering around a private beach bonfire after your ceremony. Cozy seating, s'mores, and sunset views create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

2. Beach Reception: Some couples opt to extend the celebration with a full beach reception complete with catered dining, lounge seating, string lights, and dancing under the stars. We can help connect you with the right vendors to bring this vision to life.

3. Videography: More couples are opting for a videographer that brings an intimate, cinematic touch to the ceremony. It transforms the day into a timeless experience, letting you revisit the love, joy, and every little detail that made it special. 

4. More Customized Experiences Available: Every couple is different, and we're always working with our trusted vendor partners to create new and unique options based on your vision. Whether it's live acoustic music, specialty lounge setups, or interactive guest experiences, our team can help coordinate additional enhancements to make your day even more personal.
