In the middle of a freezing cold winter I recently escaped up north to paradise where the skies were bright blue and the ocean was sparkling –(well apart from a few overcast days but let’s not spoil the vision!) As I was looking out at the amazing vistas I was thinking about how popular the destination wedding has become as a way of combining wedding and honeymoon and for a sure fire way of amazing wedding photos in exotic locales. That alone is rather appealing.How do you get the dress sorted out though?
Does your gown become less important than the backdrop??
I think the look has to be soft – not stiff. It’s essential that the fabric isn’t ruined by the travel. Flowing fabrics that catch the wind will look great but are they too delicate? You would need to consider the weight of a huge princess shape and I would suggest it’s not quite practical.
I guess if you wanted to go to some stunning European location
you could stop off in Paris or Rome and find something off the rack that fits the bill. Risky though isn’t it? Mostly couples choose the tropical locale where you can look beach chic in a simple slimline or goddess style of dress. Easy to pack and effortlessly glam. Incorporating local customs into the ceremony and the look of the outfit is cute too. Frangipanis in the hair, Hawaiian lays around the neck, Balinese fabrics as a trim – or Cuban cigars. It’s all kind fun isn’t it?If you are a totally mad Scottish couple who fancy an Australian wedding (and favour the grey jumpsuit as a fashion statement) then how about this?

Wish I was still in the resort but back to shooting gorgeous gowns for BRIDE. Now I just need a tropical location….
