While the sandy beaches of Sanibel Island are popular destination year-round, the fall months are particularly enjoyable, boasting average lows in the 60s and highs in the 70s and 80s.

These agreeable conditions make Sanibel Island a favorable destination for fall beach weddings.

Although fall is a popular time for beach-goers, your loved ones can celebrate your special day uninterrupted on West Wind Island Resort’s 500 feet of private beach.

Planning a fall beach wedding introduces a wide variety of color palettes and themes. Popular fall color combinations include deep burgundies and emeralds, or oranges, yellows and browns. These rich autumn-inspired colors can be incorporated into accessories, décor and in-season bouquets creating a unique look that is in tune with the fall months.

Envision pumpkins as your table décor or accent pieces, delicious pies or a creative fall-themed cake and wedding favors of caramel apples or individual s’mores packages. The opportunities are endless! Check out our West Wind Island Resort’s Pinterest page for fall beach wedding inspiration and more ideas on how you can incorporate fall themes and color palettes into your beach wedding.

When planning a beach wedding any time of year, it is important to take weather conditions into consideration. The month of October is popular for couples to say their “I dos,” as the potential threat of rain or hurricanes begins to ebb. Regardless, should any unforeseen weather arise, West Wind Island Resort provides indoor accommodations that will shelter you and your guests from the elements.

Sunny Sanibel Island during the fall season brings great weather that, unlike many locations, typically remains pleasantly warm during the day with a slight chill in the evening hours. Should the weather dip, heaters can be strategically placed to ensure that your guests remain comfortable during the ceremony and reception so that they can focus on what’s really important: the newlyweds!
