Destination Weddings For Dummies

Destination Weddings For Dummies

I’m kind of obsessive, so I bought The Knot destination wedding book and the Destination Bride book too. They’re both good, but this is probably the only one you need if you’re just buying one. The Knot book has lots of nice pictures of other people’s weddings which can give you decorating ideas, but not much practical info. Destination bride is good b/c it’s by a real wedding planner.

What I liked about this book is that it first helps you decide if you’re the kind of couple who should have a destination wedding (we are!). And then there’s a chapter that really helps spark ideas on where you can have the wedding, in a place that’s going to make sense for you and your FH.

The book tells you about all kinds of places to get married — not just hotels but also parks and beaches all over the world. And if you’re just in a rush or don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can find out how to have a wedding in Las Vegas (I’m tempted!) for under $1500, and that includes flights, hotels, ceremony, and even the ring. But I have my heart set on a beach wedding, and you can’t do that in Las Vegas!
