Just What You Imagined. The sun is setting over a gentle sea. An offshore breeze freshens the twilight hours. A beautiful bride (you), wearing a crown of flowers and a flowing white veil (possibly embellished with tiny shells), walks (barefoot) through the soft white sand toward her handsome groom, who is waiting for her under a jasmine-covered arbor (with an orchid in his lapel). And all around are family and friends - relaxed, happy - with glasses of champagne in their hands and all sans shoes - in anticipation of this special occasion.
Who Needs a Cathedral? This is the way to go, here, on Anna Maria Island, where the beauty of the sea and the relaxed atmosphere make it the perfect place for weddings and other special events. Our little island has become one of the favorite wedding destinations in the country. It's unspoiled. It's easy to get to. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And, at Tradewinds, it has a really charming beach resort guaranteed to provide a unique and memorable wedding experience.
