It is mostly assumed that tropical theme weddings or Destinination beach weddings are a costly affair. However, with careful planning and by avoiding unnecessary extravagance, most Destin weddings can be within reach for all those looking to a different nuptial event of their lives.
• The most important criteria to decide the budget would be the number of guests. It would be wise to strike off from the list, those people whom you haven't met for over a year or two and who would not be in touch in the future as well. They could be business acquaintances, far-off aunts, your schoolmates who have moved out of town, ex-bosses, etc. Keep the guest lists to minimum by including only those who matter the most. This will dramatically cut costs on several aspects like the invitation cards, save the date cards, out of town bags, food, drinks, hotel rooms, etc.
• Another factor which can make a huge difference is the time of the day that you choose for your beach wedding ceremony. Day times at beaches can be quite sunny and windy and thereby need special arrangements like a covered tent, cool air fans, etc. If the early mornings or sunset time is chosen, you can eliminate these costs to a great extent. Moreover, sandy winds and seagulls will not be so much of a nuisance during the evenings, thus saving in terms of separate arrangements to keep them at bay.
• If you plan for the ceremony in the evening, you can even arrange the reception at the same location immediately thereafter. This will not only save time on hand but will minimize the cost on transferring your guests to a different location.
• If you have a guest list that does not go beyond 50 - 100, you may choose to hire two or three beach houses with a private access to the beach. It can be used by your guests to stay overnight if they are coming a day in advance or if they plan to stay over, after the reception. It can also be commonly used to freshen up and change; thus cutting back another large chunk of wealth to be spent on Destin, Florida accommodation in hotel rooms.
• You may even choose to hire a local catering service provider instead of the hotel to take care of the food arrangements. They are cheaper and can be accommodated well into the budget. The caterer can be asked to take of the supply and layout of the food in a buffet style thus eliminating expense on overheads like waiters, butlers, service charges and taxes of the hotel.
• You may even opt to the buy the drinks required for the reception party yourself and get a good discount on the bulk purchase. The catering service can help you serve them or you can hire a bartender who can do it for you.
• Other complimentary things like purchasing favor kits or Destin beach wedding invitation cards or even out of town gift bags and save the date cards can be made by you which is a great way to salt away additional expense and will also help you in adding a personal touch to each invitation.
Cost cutting in this manner will be easily overlooked by guests if done with elegance and careful attention to arrangements. Thus a little bit of advance planning and doing a few things by being involved personally can definitely make your dream of having a beautiful beach weddin in Destin could change to a reality!
