For years tradition has dictated what was 'acceptable' when planning a wedding. The long white gown, the programmed church ceremony, the rented reception hall with the arranged seating and the sky high wedding budget were all considered...

Just as destination weddings are fast growing in popularity, so are destination wedding dresses. What exactly is a destination wedding dress? It is a trendy, sensible, cost effective alternative to the traditional wedding gown.

The most unique beach wedding reception ideas are sparked by imagination not tradition. Never mind etiquette, tradition and timelines. That information is outdated and stuffy. Do what will make you and your guests happy.

Beach weddings are popular but they do present "special issues". Failing to consider these ahead of time could leave you unpleasantly surprised on your wedding day!
