Florida Weather and Your Wedding Day: How to Be Ready for Anything

Florida is known for its sunshine — but if you're planning a wedding here, you also need to be ready for the unexpected. From sudden rain showers to strong coastal winds, weather can play a big role in your ceremony experience. The good news? With a little planning, your beach wedding can still be absolutely magical — even under cloudy skies.

What to Expect During Rainy Season (May to October)

Many couples are surprised to learn that Florida has a wet season — and it covers most of the summer. From May through October, quick afternoon thunderstorms are common, especially in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. That doesn’t mean you can’t get married during this time — just be prepared!

If you're planning a wedding during the summer months:

• Opt for a morning ceremony, when the skies are usually clear.

• Avoid scheduling at 3–5 PM (Florida’s typical “rain window”).

• Have clear umbrellas on standby (they look great in photos!).

• Choose a company like us that’s used to adjusting setups quickly.

Remember, even during summer, South Florida still offers gorgeous sunsets and warm, romantic evenings by the beach — just with a bit more planning.

What About Wind and Tropical Storms?

The hurricane season runs from June through November. While major storms are rare, windy conditions can affect decor and photo setups, especially on open beaches. That’s why our team monitors the forecast closely and adjusts your wedding setup if needed. Our arches and decor are wind-tested, and our photographers know how to shoot in any light.

If a tropical storm is predicted, we’ll work with you to reschedule or shift the ceremony time — your safety (and experience!) always come first.

The Best Time for a Florida Beach Wedding

For couples looking for the best weather window, December through April is ideal. During these months:

• There’s minimal rain.

• Humidity is lower, making it comfortable for guests.

• The skies are clear — perfect for wedding photos.

• You get that iconic, crisp blue Florida backdrop.

This is also the most popular season for beach weddings — especially for couples searching for:

• Micro weddings under $10,000 for 20 guests

• Elopement weddings under $5,000

• All-inclusive beach wedding packages with photography, setup, music, and officiant included.

Our Intimate Escape package starts at just $799 and includes a professional wedding photographer, officiant, bouquet, and music — everything you need for a stress-free, beautiful ceremony.

We offer multiple all-inclusive options:
