Destination Bride: A Complete Guide to Planning Your Wedding Anywhere in the World

This book is wonderful! I love that it is written in a smart tone, and is not all the fluffy dreamy talk of most bridal books. This one has brains, and tells you how to organize and take the right steps towards your dream wedding away, regardless of the location. If you're looking for a one-stop shop for ALL wedding destinations, this isn't it. However, it provides TONS of information on the process of a wedding elsewhere and walks you through the proper steps to plan your perfect day. Once you know the process, there are endless travel books to research the location you desire. Use this book for inspiration, as your planning guide, and your smart girl's guide to planning a real wedding. The author guides you through every possible step, from deciding if a destination wedding is right for you, wedding insurance (won't find that realistic topic in the fluffy books!) and how to make everyone happy with your travel plans, while creating your dream day. If you want to glance over dreamy photos of smiling brides on the beach and not get anything done, this isn't your book. If you're an intelligent woman who is considering a destination wedding and wants real information and real resources, while learning all the actual steps involved, this is YOUR book. It doesn't skip over anything, and can be the only guide book you need to planning an event from afar.

Reading this book was like having Lisa Light right there holding my hand every step of the way. I wanted to get married somewhere exotic and romantic and was stumped by all the choices.

Plus it asks all the right questions that helped me really decide that a destination wedding was right for me, my fiance and my family. BUY IT!

This is a must-have book for anyone planning or contemplating a destination wedding -- or any wedding for that matter. There is oodles of information packed between the covers of this book -- everything from sites to how to comply with marriage license laws and waiting periods in certain countries. It also covers issues like currency and voltage! It's a beautifully laid-out book with easy-to-follow type and lots of color photos. There's even Internet resources, maps and airport information. It will pay for itself many, many times over. A great book for planning or just dreaming.
