The Nights of Lights in St Augustine FL is always a romatic vacation time but this year it was especially romantic. As we strolled around the historic district admiring the thousands of tiny white lights we happen to witness a newly wed couple. They were in the Plaza de la Constitucion in their wedding attire having their formal pictures taken!
Needless to say the couple stole the show as everyone was eager to watch and congratulate them. St Augustine is a very popular choice for destination weddings, especially during the fabulous Nights of Lights. We wish them many years of happiness together. The Nights of Lights is an annual event which usually runs from the weekend before Thanksgiving to the last day in January. See it if you can!
Historic District During the Nights of Lights St Augustine
The historic district in St Augustine during the Nights of Lights was as spectacular as ever! We make the Nights of Lights St Augustine an annual visit. So this year was no exception and I’m glad we went.
We couldn’t resist entering the lobby of the beautiful and historic Casa Monica Hotel that we have previously stayed to check out their holiday decorations. The Casa Monica Hotel was decorated beautifully inside and out. This is a picture of one of the Christmas Trees in the hotel lobby that I just loved.

We walked around the Plazs de la Constitucion and down a few of the side streets as well to admire the holiday decorations in the shop windows and the brightly decorated buildings. The Lightner Museum in the picture above along with the other historic buildings in the square were all decorated in tiny white lights!

We took a walk over the Bridge of Lions and the scene was almost magical as we looked back at the St Augustine historic district. It was aglow with thousands of tiny lights. Boat tours along the river are also a popular activity especially during the Night of Lights.
