If you're planning a destination wedding, you'll want to read this book first. It covers everything you would want to know about planning a wedding away from home. Lots of tips and advice starting with whether a destination wedding is right for you and going on to cover organizing and budgeting, finding the right destination, making your travel arrangments, and, of course, the wedding ceremony. There's a chapter on emergencies you may face and how to handle them, as well as ways to save money on a destination wedding.

Planning a beach or destination wedding can be costly and time consuming. We recommend that all our wedding clients get and read Destination Weddings For Dummies. The time and headaches it will save you is well worth the price of the book.

This book is great. I love it. There are so many details that it goes over. A BIG HELP FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS.

Susan knows her stuff and she puts it to the reader in a well-written way that any "dummy" can understand. As far as I'm concerned that's the mark of a good communicator. Susan is also an excellent researcher so you can be sure that there is the most up-to-date information and choices of properties in this book. This is a read that every bride or romantic will want on their bookshelf. And it makes a good shower gift as well!
The only book on the subject you really need September 7, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I'm kind of obsessive, so I bought The Knot destination wedding book and the Destination Bride book too. They're both good, but this is probably the only one you need if you're just buying one. The Knot book has lots of nice pictures of other people's weddings which can give you decorating ideas, but not much practical info. Destination bride is good b/c it's by a real wedding planner.
What I liked about this book is that it first helps you decide if you're the kind of couple who should have a destination wedding (we are!). And then there's a chapter that really helps spark ideas on where you can have the wedding, in a place that's going to make sense for you and your FH.
The book tells you about all kinds of places to get married -- not just hotels but also parks and beaches all over the world. And if you're just in a rush or don't want to spend a lot of money, you can find out how to have a wedding in Las Vegas (I'm tempted!) for under $1500, and that includes flights, hotels, ceremony, and even the ring. But I have my heart set on a beach wedding, and you can't do that in Las Vegas!
