Tips for
planning the Beach Wedding of Your Dreams.
There was
a time when a “destination wedding” was reserved for the bride and groom
secretly plotting an elopement. Today, destination weddings have become an
attractive alternative to hometown nuptials. In fact,
these affairs at far-flung locales account for 16 percent of the nation’s
weddings – up 400 percent from the previous decade.
Couples,
with family and friends in tow, are whisking off to tie-the-knot in urbane
metropolises, rustic mountain retreats, and very often, exotic tropical hot
spots. There’s a
reason tropical destination weddings have become so desirable to many brides and
grooms. Alluring crystal blue waters, sparkling sand beaches and lush flora
paired with delicious local cuisine make an incredible recipe for the perfect
“weddingmoon” escape. And with
resorts and hotels offering incredible bridal packages for every budget, a
breezy beach celebration has become a stress-free and affordable way to exchange
vows. |
