Ideas for a Lilac (Destination) Wedding!

Wedbits just added a great post with tips and ideas for a lilac wedding theme, and I loved it! The fresh summery colors are PERFECT for a breezy beach wedding, so I wanted to share.

As the article pointed out, lilac is a pretty and practical wedding day color theme; it makes the transition from day to night very well, and is a great color option for bridesmaids if you’re marrying in the afternoon but want things to move onto the evening. This is even more true for a beach wedding -- imagine that gorgeous lilac color against the white sands and purpling Mexico sunset. Perfection!

Is a Destination Wedding Right For You? A Few Pros and Cons

A destination wedding provides several components; an element of travel, a vacation for guests as well as the bride and groom, and generally a unique experience. There are many factors that make a destination wedding so special that should be considered when deciding if it is right for you specifically. Here are a few main motivators for many couples to choose a destination wedding:

R&R for the couple: Destination weddings are great for a couple that wants a more laid back experience. If you live in a busy urban city, you might enjoy getting married at the beach more than in the church down the street.

One-stop shop: Most destination wedding venues are one-stop shops and have everything that you need in one place. These types of resorts also often have planners who will take on all of the work with vendors. Furthermore, most have on-site caterers!

Creates a great home base: Here is one that really hits home. Coming from a family that moved around a lot, I never felt like I had a real home base for which to have my wedding. If you come from a similar situation, or perhaps you and your fiance are not from close to each other, a destination wedding can be a great way to create common ground.

Top 13 Destination Wedding Tips: Day 2

Schedule A Test Drive


Remember that this is unique from having a wedding in your hometown, and that guests will be more or less dependent on you once they reach the destination. Go through a checklist to make sure all of your bases are covered -- be sure that you have transportation to and from the airport covered, and that you've mapped out some sort of itinerary for the weekend. Have bus drivers do a dry run of the route to be sure that they don't get lost between the ceremony and the reception. While small details like the last may seem like overkill, all it takes is one misstep to throw off your wedding day groove.

Destination Wedding Inspiration, Coral with Turquoise and Red Palette

I've always been a fan of turquoise and red as a color combination -- I've decorated my room with these colors, themed parties, and always admired a beach wedding with this fun and festive color scheme.

Here's a great inspiration borad with nice touches for your beach wedding using coral with turquoise and red palette colors. 

Parasol Umbrellas at Your Destination Wedding

One idea that I recently fell in love with is the idea of using parasols for your bridesmaids in lieu of bouquets. They're perfect for an outdoor beach wedding, will prove especially handy during an outdoor daytime ceremony, and they're an adorable and unique touch.

Paper parasols are affordable and offer a nice glow in the summer sun, but of course won’t be much help in the case of rain. While many purists may be against mixing things up from the traditional bouquet, I'm a big fan of the wedding parasol!
