The biggest trend to hit weddings in the past decade is the destination wedding. Whether on a Caribbean beach or in the Italian countryside, more and more couples throw their weddings far from home. The idea is an exciting one, but planning long distance can be complicated . . . .
In The Knot Guide to Destination Weddings, Carley Roney and JoAnn Gregoli break down the unique process of planning from afar—from deciding on your destination to whether or not you should fly in your officiant—and all the legal and practical considerations in between. Armed with a variety of experts on the subject, tips, and lessons from couples who have been through the experience, this book is jam-packed with checklists and practical, insightful advice from wedding people in-the-know.
With so many intricacies to take care of, couples “wedding away” need a clear game plan. The Knot Guide to Destination Weddings ensures no detail, big or small, will fall through the cracks. The authors tackle:
•picking out and booking the perfect location
•listings of the top wedding spots worldwide
•establishing the wedding budgets
•hiring planners and/or vendors from a distance
•the etiquette of destination weddings
•countless ways to make your wedding unique
•legal marriage requirements for foreign locales
•planning a full weekend of events, including the reception, rehearsal dinner, and guest activities
•using the Internet to coordinate the event

Summary: Fantastic Book!!!
Comment: This book is GREAT! It gave me a ton of great ideas and advice on how to plan a successful destination wedding. I've received a lot of positive feedback from my invited guests on every bit of advice I implemented. Things like adding some local currency in the save-the-dates and presenting the wedding as a organized and professional dream vacation have helped more guests commit to attending. There are so many great tips, ideas, and options. I've read three other books on Destination Weddings, but this is the only book you'll need. Kudos to The Knot, they've done it again!

Summary: Book Review
Comment: It is ok, but different than I thought. It seems to cater to those have BIG destination weddings rather than a simple one with close friends and family. I wish it had more simple ideas.

Summary: Good stuff
Comment: The book has a lot of good suggestions and timelines for destination weddings. They have to be some of the toughest to plan, especially if you're worried about people understanding your vision, but the book makes it doable. Our wedding is in North Carolina, and I am sure everything will be wonderful, thanks in part to the book!
