What is a destination wedding? It’s a wedding that you have to travel to — and some Florida destination weddings also include guests. Years ago, couples would go off by themselves and elope, but now? Couples bring their families and friends along for the adventure! Destination weddings aren’t limited to people that are eloping anymore.
Many couples are saying "I do" to the idea of destination weddings not only as a way to make the occasion more memorable, but also to simplify the whole process.
Would you like to get married on your honeymoon? Florida Destination weddings are becoming more and more popular with couples who are eager to skip the fuss of a traditional wedding and jump right into the fun. Whether the special day involves just the two of you or whether you'll be inviting friends and relatives to join in the occasion, a destination wedding can be a way to create wonderful memories and Magical Moment Weddings will be with you every step of the way.
But, first, the down side. Destination weddings aren't for everyone. If you're in love with the idea of a large wedding with all your friends and family, skip this idea. Even with a year of planning, it's just about impossible to get everyone's schedules coordinated for this kind of event.
But many couples are saying "I do" to the idea of destination weddings and the at home big receptions it still simplifies the process.

Regardless of the size of your wedding, you should be sure to negotiate with vendors. If there are certain items included in a wedding package that you don't want, ask for a credit. And if a property won't drop its rates substantially, look for free upgrades for you and your guests instead.
Be Kind to Your Guests "If you want to do a destination wedding, you have to make it affordable for the people who are coming," So, as lovely as the venue is don't pick a location that will cost a few thousand dollars for the weekend.

DETAILS, DETAILS Out of Country Weddings Before you say "I do," plan to do a little research or let us assist you into the "do"s --and "don't"s -- of the local Florida marriage laws. Many countries have loosened their marriage regulations, making it easier for foreigners to tie the knot. Even so, you'll need to do some research.
"The reason some couples have problems with their overseas wedding is that they are unfamiliar with the marriage laws, rules and regulations of where they want to be wed,"

Most Important Don’t Stress Out!! Florida destination weddings are less stressful than traditional hometown hooplas, since many of the details are simply out of the couple's control.
Florida Destination Weddings can also lead to another joyous celebration: destination anniversaries. Couples who wed on their honeymoon can revisit the very spot where they married and share the memories of that occasion together and with future children and grandchildren
Happy Planning to You!
