Planning a beach wedding..
My fiance and I are planning a beach wedding. We really want something small and intimate. It will just be a few close friends and family (probably no more than 15 guests). We are thinking northern FL area because of the convenience for our guests as well. We are planning a cruise for our Honeymoon and I think most of our guests are planning to stay down for a little vacation after the wedding. Being in that area will allow everyone to either stay or go from there as they wish seeing as they would probably pass through on the way to their vacation destination anyways. SO that being said I'm kind of at a loss for where to start. We don't want anything extravigant just something simple and not too expensive. Time frame would be from June-mid August 2013.
Does anyone else have any experience with beach weddings in this are or advice on how to procede with planning?
For others who have planned things like this would you reccomend getting a wedding package from a planner or staying at a hotel that offers wedding planning services?

Good luck to you
If we had less people I would definitely go with one of the many companies that set everything up for you on the beach like barefoot. I would especially suggest using a local coordiantor since you are planning from out of town. If you look around there are lots of beach wedding companies so you should be able to find one in your price range.
At the very least contact a local officiant to make sure you pick up any permits you may need depending on which beach you us; they can also help you get your license.
we would love to be a part of your day!
