Wedding Wednesday: Destination Weddings

Destination Weddings are something that I have never personally been a huge fan of. Don't get me wrong..if money was not an issue at all it would probably be a consideration. I do love that you get to go away to a far away land, or tropical paradise and say those I do's. However, destination weddings are usually small intimate affairs. You have your closest friends and family attend. But sometimes not everyone you would want to attend can. Unless you are coughing up all of the travel money for people. Which lets face it...we aren't all Oprah...we can't fly everyone to Australia just because. And although destination weddings probably won't be an option for me there are some absolutely stunning  weddings. I mean who wouldn't want t get married in a castle in europe or the white beaches the bahamas? 

Destination weddings come with some AMAZING venues...who wouldn't want to tie the knot on the beautiful French Country Side??

It is almost to good to be true

Or a tropical paradise. With custom cocktails

Would be super fun to put together favor bags like these. Sun glasses, sunscreen etc.

Another bonus of a destination wedding. Stunning shots.

And stunning videos like this one from my go to wedding cinematographers Joe Simon Films.

Wedding Wednesday

Today I have once again another AMAZING wedding video from my favorite cinematographers at Jo Simon Films. They shot a beautiful wedding at Hearst Castle in California. And this wedding is truly perfection. A perfect day in a perfect location. Take a look for yourself!!

After watching this and falling in love with Hearst Castle I decided to look into how much it would cost to rent this beautiful venue. My initial guest was at least 10 thousand if not more. And let me tell you it was more...way more! like 10 thousand more. Thanks right...20 Thousand Dollars to rent this castle. And that doesn't come with anything. That is strictly just the location. Sigh...Thats more then some peoples wedding budgets. But goodness...if you had the money..who wouldn't want to get married here!?

Hope everyone has a simple wonderful Wedding Wednesday!

How did you feel about her short dress? I'm normally not a huge fan but I think it was perfect for this wedding and seemed so fitting for her. Sigh..i love weddings! Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Have a Simply wonderful Wednesday!

you know what day it is!

With my love for weddings its no surprise that I can spend hours just looking at wedding blogs and websites, and more recently looking into wedding associations. Ever since my little flower class I took I've been wanting to get more involved in the social world of events and weddings, and maybe take some workshops and seminars along the way. As I started to look into what was available I came across The Wedding Planning Institute. And the exciting thing about them is that they offer courses that end with a certification test at the end of the 10 week program. Basically wedding and event coordinating school. Something that I have looked into before but this program has by far blown the other ones out of the water. And something I am really looking into. I'm blessed to know what I want to do with my life so it's exciting to think about taking steps toward that.

Anyways... here is another one of my favorite wedding films from Joe Simon Films. This was the video that made me fall in love with this company! Enjoy!
