Destination Weddings for Dummies

Last Minute Sales & Specials

From Vegas to the Vatican -- this is the all-in-one guide to getting married away from home.

As many as 25 percent of couples now opt for a destination wedding, a 400 percent increase in the past 10 years. Part of the reason: The average at-home wedding costs $27,000, the average destination wedding costs $17,000, and the average cruise destination wedding costs $7,000 -- or less!

This hands-on, practical guide helps readers organize and plan anything from a budget to a blue-sky destination wedding. It features up-to-date information on picking the best location, making travel arrangements, dressing for the occasion, and arranging an unforgettable wedding anywhere in the world.

Unique among wedding planning books, Destination for Weddings also acknowledges that most couples use the Internet to plan their wedding. So it's filled with Web tips, shortcuts, URLs, and even instructions on creating your own digital wedding planner.
