Destination weddings are generally cheaper than traditional wedding packages. There are cheap destination wedding packages available for couples who want something different than the usual church wedding. However, you still need to put in a little more effort to keep the cost from going beyond your budget.
Failing to plan carefully could cause you to run into some mistakes that might cost you some of your wedding dollars. To avoid that, here are some tips to make your destination wedding easy on the pocket:
Book during off-peak season
The peak season for weddings is between the months of May and October. Those are the months that you should avoid to save money as vendor rates are higher at this period. Go for the off-peak marriage season. Stay away as well from major holidays like Christmas and New Year.
Avail of package deals
To find discount fees, ask the help of an experienced travel coordinator. A travel coordinator could help also you avail an all-inclusive package that covers everything from airfare to hotel stay. You may also take advantage of hotels and resorts that offer discount packages if travelers book directly for ten guests or more.
Buy local flowers
Buy seasonal flowers or flowers that are locally available at your destination. You could also reduce your expenses by purchasing flowers from a wholesale dealer in the area.
Plan your destination wedding as something that you and your spouse-to-be will remember for as long as you live. Just keep the above considerations in mind and you can make your cheap destination wedding grand and special.

I am a guest at a wedding coming up at the end of February. It’s a destination wedding to Jamaica. What is the appropriate attire for the wedding?
I’m in a destination wedding, have to be photographed. I have rosacea, and can’t tan my face. My body gets REALLY tan though. What makeup or of a spray tan would you use prior to going? I find makeup never gets dark enough or looks fake and cakey. Would spray tan be better??
I am planning a small destination wedding for possibly spring 2008 or early summer. I was oriiginally thinking the caribbean but Florida would be nice too, the keys or the gulf coast. I have been checking out different websites but I am a bit leary of having someone remotly planning everything. So I am just wondering if anyone has done it that way and were you happy you did it that way? Any suggestiions.recommendations appreciated!
