Ultimate Destination Wedding

Who hasn't dreamed of a beachside wedding? White sand beaches, sparkling clear blue waters, heartwarming sunset.

Planning a destination wedding can be easy once you have the right information....finding the right destination, planner, photographer, hotel, music, marriage license requirements, etc.

Over the next couple of months, I will spotlight a few destinations that people have either asked about or expressed some interest in. If anyone has one that they would like me to do a blog on I will be more than happy to do it.

In the spotlight this week Saint Lucia


Pigeon Island


Saint Lucia pronounced in French as Sainte-Lucie was named after Saint Lucy of Syracuse. This 239 sq mile island is located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. The main language is English but 80% of the island speaks Creole.







St. Lucia is the perfect destination for a Caribbean wedding. Its natural beauty, palmed fringed beaches and stylish old plantation houses makes it an exquisite choice for a couples dream wedding. Listening to mesmerizing steel band music under the swaying coconut trees feeling that gentle tropical air.

St. Lucia has no residency requirements, so a couple can get married within hours of arriving on the island. All you need is a passport and birth certificate and of course divorce decree or death certificate if it applies to your situation.

Mori Lee Bridal Dresses

While doing a little reading I came across Mori Lee's 2009 Collection. I couldn't help but post a few of her dresses. Mori Lee's dresses are exquiste. Designed using either satin, lace, dupioni taffeta, emboidery, swarovski crystals or a combination, the end results are always the same......beautiful.



















Beautiful Bridal Bouquets

April showers brings May flowers…Bridal bouquets have evolved exquisitely over the past few years. Cascading bouquets are a favorite of many brides but no longer the main choice. There are way too many variations available these days due to the growing demand of a bride's need for originality, class and looking FAB-U-LOUS.
