How to Add Festive Details to Your Destination Wedding

Just because you’re having a fall or winter beach wedding, doesn’t mean your subject to the traditional beach theme. Here are some ways to mix it up!

Florals

Rather than your standard tropical floral-scape, try incorporating wildflowers, or dried flowers and grasses into your bouquets and centerpieces if you’re getting married in the fall. Dried fruits and potpourri are also great for a totally rustic look. Winter brides –try poinsettias, roses, eucalyptus, or baby’s breath in your bouquets for a pop of red and green.

Decor

Copper adds a beautiful and festive fall touch to any table arrangement, while mercury accents are ideal for a winter wedding setup. In addition to the colors, textures are another fun element to play with to incorporate those festive touches –so tulle, beads, wood, and glitter can make a big difference!

Attire

If you’re having a fall wedding in paradise, perhaps you’ll like your girls in a maroon, gold, or burnt orange bridesmaid dress. For a winter wedding, an ice-blue or shimmery silver dress would add a festive touch to your theme. For the men, consider a fun-themed printed tie or pocket square to “tie” in the theme. 😉  

Cocktails

For a fall affair, you might decide to raise your glasses to a crisp, sparkling glass of cider instead of champagne. Keep in mind, most resorts are willing to work with you to create the perfect signature cocktail –so don’t be afraid to ask them for ideas.

Dessert

Naked cakes are ideal for your fall beach wedding. They look especially lovely topped with matching wildflowers, dried fruits, or wrapped in ribbon. Some other trends we’ve seen are smores over a firepit, or even a stacked apple cider donut cake!

We hope these festive touches make it into your beach wedding theme! To learn more about planning a destination wedding, click here for a custom quote!

The Best Reasons for Having a Destination Wedding

Love the idea of a destination wedding, but unsure if it’s right for you? Here are 5 reasons to ditch the banquet hall and tie the knot someplace new:

It’s Positively Unique

Do you and your partner have a more casual and untraditional lifestyle? Or perhaps you’d like something low-key in an intimate setting with a handful of loved ones? Whatever the reason is, the location of your destination wedding offers an untraditional experience that makes it impossible to forget!

It’s Super Romantic

What’s more romantic than saying “I do” in paradise? Aside from the breathtaking beaches, sparkling waters, and pastel skies –you’re sure to find a resort that suits everyone’s needs! Most wedding parties qualify for room upgrades, spa credits, or even additional accommodations just for booking as a group!

It’s Very Convenient

What better way to save time for everyone than having your ceremony, reception, and accommodations all in one place? In most cases, resorts will happily arrange the main events within walking distance from each other, so finding transportation is never an issue!

It’s Totally Affordable

Since the average wedding in the U.S. can cost up to $30,000, a destination wedding for about a third of the cost sounds quite appealing, don’cha think?  We can help you customize the perfect wedding package to fit just about any budget, too!
