Create a Celebrity Type Wedding at a Destination
Many people want to emulate a specific type of celebrity wedding. Whether being barefoot on the beach or having a non-stop party appeals to you, a destination wedding can help you to have a wedding just like a celebrity. Russell Crowe had a long weekend party accompanying his wedding that cost about $600,000. But if you have a destination wedding, it's like you're already having that long party with all of your guests. People will be there both before and after the ceremony, so you'll be able to party to your heart's content. If you arrange for events that everyone can enjoy, you'll be able to spend even more time together.
Destination Wedding Advice from Celebrity Wedding Planner Mindy Weiss
Mindy Weiss is a celebrity wedding planner who planned weddings for such stars as Jessica Simpson and Trista Rehn. She advocates picking a specific detail to focus on, such as the wine, at a destination wedding. That way, you can make the wedding even more special and detailed. Weiss states that the bride and groom should try to make it to the destination where the wedding will take place at least once before the ceremony and reception, so that they can make sure that everything they are looking for in their wedding is going to be available and done to order. By focusing on details, you can make sure that you get exactly the wedding you're looking for.
Tori Spelling's Wedding in Fiji
Actress Tori Spelling's second marriage was a destination wedding dream. She was married to her fiance Dean McDermott on the exotic island of Fiji. Tori wore a flowing white gown and stood with her toes in the sand, showing that a beach destination wedding can be as simple as you'd like. The couple didn't invite any guests and it was in total contrast to her first wedding in 2004, where Tori had a lavish affair "at home" in Beverly Hills.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Wedding in Turks and Caicos
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner got married in a beautiful beach wedding on Turks and Caicos. They chose a sunset ceremony time, and made their love official by having a wedding with close friends and relatives. Ben wore a light colored suit, dressy but not a tux, and Jennifer a white dress with a green sash, also slightly informal. The wedding took place on Parrot Cay Resort, and as they had a shortened honeymoon, a destination wedding was a great choice for the busy couple.
Heidi Klum and Seal's Wedding in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is the romantic setting for the wedding of model Heidi Klum and singer Seal. The couple got married in front of only 40 people at an exclusive resort in Cuixmala. Heidi was five months pregnant when they got married, but she still chose to wear a traditional Vera Wang wedding gown, and the ceremony itself took place on the beach. If you'd like to get married in Cuixmala, which is destined to be Mexico's newest hot place to visit; or any other Mexican resort, DestinationWeddings.com can help you to plan the perfect celebrity-like destination wedding.
InStyle Celebrity Weddings – Water Style
InStyle magazine has always been a showcase for beautiful celebrity weddings. Many celebrities choose to forgo the usual traditional wedding and have a destination wedding that fits their lifestyle and sense of adventure. One recent trend in celebrity weddings is a theme of water - whether the celebrities are getting married on a boat or near a lake in an exotic location (such as Jack White did in Brazil on the Amazon River), water is a great theme to showcase in your destination wedding.
InStyle Celebrity Weddings – Honeymooning
Instead of the traditional registering for wedding gifts, Tiffani Thiessen and her fiance chose to register for a honeymoon, instead of gifts. If you'd rather have a honeymoon separate from your destination wedding, or even just take a trip later on and you don't need the usual housekeeping gifts, registering for a trip can be a great way to get the presents you really want. It's much better etiquette than asking for money, and you can look forward to taking a trip as a newly married couple.
Getting Married in the Caribbean
Most destination weddings take place in the Caribbean, and that's also true for celebrity destination weddings. From stars such as reality TV's Rob and Amber, who got married at Atlantis in the Bahamas, to Tiger Woods, who married his fiance in Barbados, many of today's celebrities choose a destination wedding on an island in the Caribbean. Having a destination wedding that's inspired by the ceremonies and events of celebrities can be fun, and also useful - as celebrities often share many of their ideas for the perfect destination wedding with us!
Destination Wedding Advice from Celebrity Planner Sasha Souza
Sasha Souza, who has planned weddings for many celebrities, gives a lot of reasons for having a destination wedding. Souza states that destination weddings are often more fun for the bride and groom, as well as the guests, because they're less stressful – you have not only your wedding planner, but also the planners at the resort or other destination to help you with details. Souza also seems to think that destination weddings are cheaper than traditional weddings (this can be true, in some cases) which also leads to a less stressful and more fun experience for the couple.
Please Remember:
Destination weddings take considerable planning and research, and the best properties & accommodations often book far in advance of the wedding date.
The earlier you begin planning your wedding, the greater the likelihood you will be able to book the perfect property for you and your guests.
