Let’s look at some of the changes in wedding trends for a destination wedding.
Gifts…The last thing anyone wants to do is bring extra baggage when traveling. Make sure you are registered on line at a number of stores in your community. Knowing what you’d like makes gift giving easier on your guests. Make sure that you let them know to send the gifts to your home. You may be traveling after the wedding and the last thing you want is to carry the wedding gifts. Luggage limits of 25 pounds on small airplanes can prove to be a challenge when traveling after the ceremony.

I came across this interesting article on wedding planners the other day, and more interesting in this case, about tweeting at a wedding! Also, the etiquette for sending out pictures of the bride and groom. When is it too soon? To quote:
“Congratulations, you’re engaged! You’re on the road to eternal happiness, a journey that began the moment you said yes. From now until your wedding day, and even beyond, there will be a ton of magical moments you’ll want to savor. And then there will be the moments that will make you question your sanity.

This classical but rustic wedding in Costa Rica uses a cream, green and purple color palette. This subtle color combination is a far cry from tropical brightly colored flowers often used for weddings here in Costa Rica, but it works beautifully! The green and purple combine perfectly with the rattan plates and wooden tables. Whilst the cream Calla lilies and roses give impact by standing out against the natural vegetation in the background. A perfect setting to Eat, Drink and be Married!
Happy planning!
