Reception
Our venue is not a traditional wedding venue, but the Women's Civic Club of Stone Harbor. It is literally right on the beach (you can see the sand dunes in the first picture below) and has a giant parking lot right next to it for our guests. There is another lot on the other side of the building (facing the beach) that we will use for our tented dinner. The venue is beautiful, updated, and very budget friendly. I seriously cried after I found this hidden gem: I had almost given up on my dream of being married on the beach!
This is the reception hall from the stage area. I love the wood floors and tall ceilings! We're going to have dancing, cake, and cocktail hour in this room. We'll also have tables in here for those who want to socialize near the dance floor.

Those doors face the beach and provide lots of natural light and a gorgeous view of the beach and sand dunes outside.

Decorations & Details
Many of my decorations are DIY, so definitely check my DIY pages to see more. As for the stuff that isn't DIY...
Our amazing shark cake topper... complete with 3D fins!!
I am in love with our guest book tree. I used a free graphic from Style Unveiled, switched it around a little, added our names and the date, and had it printed on an 18 x 24 inch canvas with a Groupon.
I love love love it.
I love love love it.
