Destination Wedding Dresses

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.

But here's what a lot of brides don't consider: You don't have to be leaving town to choose a destination wedding dress. Desintation wedding dresses are usually made of softer, lighter fabrics that are perfect for warm weather destinations, pack easily and travel well.

However, these informal wedding gowns are nothing less than spectacular for any wedding with their sleek lines, and simple designs. Today, more and more brides-to-be are choosing to stray from the multi-layers of frill and lace in favor of the simplistic beauty typical of a destination wedding dress.

Lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, organza, silk, rayon, crepe or crinkle cotton are extremely popular and practical. They are cool, elegant and comfortable. The lightweight, wrinkle resistant qualities of such fabrics make your precious wedding gown very "packable".

Styles range from truly elegant full length gowns to romantic tea length. Sexy slip dresses and halter styles are also very popular and beautiful. For a casual beach wedding dress, consider a sarong or a Hawaiian holoku.

The cost for such a dress itself warrants consideration, especially for the frugal bride on a tight budget. You can easily keep the cost of your destination wedding dress or beach wedding dress under $300.00 - without sacrificing style at all!

Also remember...

Dollars do NOT dictate beauty! Some of the prettiest wedding dressesI have seen, both casual and formal, have been right on eBay... at a fraction of the regular retail cost!

It doesn't matter whether you are getting married in an outdoor garden, looking for an informal beach wedding dress for your poolside ceremony, a sunrise or sunset ocean front ceremony, or if you are planning to wed onboard a yacht or luxury cruise liner...

The destination wedding dress is perfect for every wedding style!

One more thing...

If you are indeed travelling to your wedding destination, do NOT entrust the safe keeping of your wedding gown to airline attendants. Not long ago, as I stood in the Jacksonville airport, I watched one young girl break down as a baggage handler presented her with what remained of her wedding dress accompanied by an apology. The garment bag was torn open and there were black tire prints on her lovely silk gown. It had apparently slipped off the side of the baggage trolley and been driven over, then dragged back to the terminal from the plane. Don't let this happen to you - keep that precious wedding dress with you as you travel!
