More on Destination Weddings . . . resources

I've had a chance to go through the books available on planning a destination wedding that I spoke about in the last post and I don't really feel that I can recommend one at this time.

If your destination wedding is a beach wedding, I recommend going back and checking out the posts on beach weddings and also looking at The Ultimate Beach Wedding Planning Guide and Workbook.  This book seems to have a lot of the destination questions covered.

Extra, Extra . . . More on Planning a Beach Wedding!

Boy, I got so carried away with the last post on beach weddings that after reading it, it sounded a bit disjointed – so let’s go back and fill in a few of the holes.

Unless you live on or near the beach you are planning on using for your wedding most people will need to travel to get there, so typically beach weddings are smaller with fewer people attending.  Many people opt to  have a reception at home once they are back from their honeymoon.

Have You Ever Dreamed of Having a Beach Wedding?

Can’t you just smell the salt air, feel the ocean breeze and hear the lapping of the waves on the beach?  I sure remember when I had that dream but I never went through with it.  Research shows that approximately 35% of all weddings are outdoor weddings – I wonder just how many of those are at the beach?

Beach weddings are popular but they do present "special issues" and planning a beach wedding may be one of the most romantic challenges in a life time; great scenery, natural decorations, originality and non-conformism of the location are among the main features of a beach wedding.   But what are the issues of planning a beach wedding?  You don’t want to be surprised on your wedding day because you didn’t take these issues into consideration beforehand.
