The Next Issue of Destination I Do

We're done! The latest issue of Destination I Do is off to the printer and we can now put up our feet, pat ourselves on the back and enjoy a day off...hey, a girl can dream can't she? Either way, we're super excited because it's a great issue.

We've visited, tasted, tested and traveled all over to bring readers of Destination I Do, the very best in locations and inspiration.

The Fall/Winter 2009 issue is packed full of domestic destinations to say "I do" and affordable ways to make it happen. We've got a great article on how to recession-proof your destination wedding, plus one on how to dodge wedding disasters (even if they are out of your control).

From the calm mountain vistas of Tuscon (below - Loews Ventana Canyon Resort)...


To the uber-chic hot-spots of Los Angeles (below - Viceroy Santa Monica)...


And even the birthplace of bands like Nirvana and SoundGarden in the musical city of Seattle... we've uncovered 80 places to stay, eat and play in the USA. Plus, all of these stateside locales are perfect for tying the knot (and helping out our economy in the process).


We've brought you helpful info, expert opinions, a generous helping of down-to-earth destinations and fashion for the important ladies in your bridal party (including some trendy and flattering Mother-of-the-Bride ideas) plus so much more; all nestled on the pages of our beautiful publication.


All of these stories, and more (like the "Dearly Beloved" - Grand Velas All Suites and Spa Resort - shown above) will be waiting for you at a local Barnes & Noble (and other bookstores/newsstands nationwide) on September 1st. You can also order advanced copies and we'll ship them straight to you. If you would like to order one, click here.
Now we've got to get started on the 2010 issues!

Tropical Elegance - A Destination Wedding on Lana'i

Images by DMS Photography, Floral Design by Anny Heid Flowers

We get so many submissions each week of beautiful brides going to far off places to say their "destination I do's" and this one was particularly special. The couple married on one of our favorite Hawaiian islands - Lana'i.


Every little detail was accounted for and the tropical theme was felt throughout.

Besides the gorgeous couple and flowers, there's also the landscape to factor in.

At a seaside ceremony, the couple made it official.


The reception at sunset, was lit only by candles and tiki torches. The Four Season's Lana'i always does a magnificent job at creating ambiance, and just look at those centerpieces!


We wish the happy couple the very best of luck. A big thanks to DMS Photography for sending us the beautiful shots as well as one of our favorite people on this earth and talented floral designer Anny Heid for submitting this wedding! Mahalo!
