Destination Weddings Dos and Don'ts
Destinations weddings account for almost 30% of all US weddings.
A destination wedding is described as a wedding that takes place at least 200 miles from where the marrying couple lives.
So here are a few rules to make it pleasant for your guest and yourselves.
1. Keep it small.
- Invite those that are closest to you. This is not going to be an affair with hundreds of guests.
- Send out your Save-The-Date cards, nine to twelve months in advance.
- Follow up with formal invitations, three to six months in advance.
- Technically, the bride and groom pay the cost for the ceremony and reception to include food, drinks, entertainment, etc.
- Guest traditionally pay for their own travel and lodging and any activities not associated with the wedding. If you know someone can't afford the trip it is considerate to offer to pay some or all of their expenses. Be discreet that you are covering the cost.
- Be up front about the cost, and double-check that there are no hidden costs or fees that your guest will incur.
- Of course, there are going to be some people that you aren't going to invite, and if someone ask why they weren't invited, be honest. Keep it simple, an elaborate reply is not required. Simply state, its a small ceremony and you only invited those closest to you and your fiance.
- Don't want kids at your wedding. It would be the same as a traditional ceremony, be sure to include this information with your invitation.
- Yes, you are still allowed to register for gifts. Some people may even donate to your costs for the wedding and activities, but do not use this as an excuse to hit your family, friends, co-workers and others up for cash gifts. Keep your own cost in mind, and be realistic-is this is something you can afford without additional help?
- Keep in mind with your guest that have accepted your invitation that "their presence is the present."

Let Them Eat Cake
Let them Eat Cake?? Maybe, Maybe Not.
A current trend in receptions desserts include just about everything. Including cakes.
Don't want to spend upwards of $400 plus for a wedding cake? Maybe, its not so much about the cost of cake and you just have decided that you don't want cake.
Well, you are in luck.
Today's receptions features doughnut towers, fresh fruit stands, pies, and ice cream stations.
While not everyone is willing to forgo the tiered cake that we've all come to expect at a wedding reception. Keep in mind that it's your wedding and you should customize certain areas to give it your personal touch.

Fragrance for your Wedding Day
Have you chosen a signature fragrance for your wedding day yet? Will you wear the same fragrance that you wear daily or are you looking to find something new?
I always suggest something new. Something that will be a reminder of your wedding day and can become personal favorite during your marriage.
We've selected four favorites and as fragrance experts will advise you, its always best to layer fragrances for longer lasting wear and to avoid the need to re-spritz yourself throughout the day. This is where soap, lotions, body washes and other products with the same fragrance will extend the scent.
Philosophy - A sensual fragrance that features berry scents along with layers of jasmine and vanilla.
Chanel CoCo Mademoiselle - A sexy Oriental floral fragrance that incorporates oranges, grapefruits and bergamont. Also has bourbon vanilla and white musk notes.
Dolce & Gabbana Intense - Another Oriental floral. Orange Blossoms and Tuberose give full-bodied scent and the base of musk will have heads turning.
Fresh Lemon Sugar - Crisp citrus notes make this fragrance a much loved frangrance between brides and bridesmaids. Italian lemons, Orange blossoms, Oak Moss and Caramel make up the notes of this citrusy blend.
