A little while back now I had the incredible opportunity to visit with the absolutely amazing team that makes up Sandals Resorts, specifically in a few of their Jamaica locations such as Sandals Montego Bay & Sandals South Coast. The purpose of the trip was both to experience the unique opportunities that each and every Sandals guest has available to them, as well as take in their incredibly cool Aisle to Isle destination wedding program. Its true, there are a lot of places one could celebrate their destination wedding. What you really need to do is ask yourself, do they offer you the ability to personalize your wedding in every single aspect, delivering with luxury level design detailing? Do they afford you the ability to just show up, and actually be a guest at your own wedding, versus running around for all those last minute errands and projects like so many do?? With 18 resorts around the Caribbean, there is certainly at least one that will catch your eye, and remember, get married at one, honeymoon at a another!

If there very idea of a tropical destination wedding leaves you a bit weak in the knees, you're going to love today's feature! If the idea of planning something from far away leaves you apprehensive, you're going to love today's feature even more! What feels like only a few short months ago, brought me to the Bahamas, more specifically to the carefully landscaped and dreamy grounds that is Sandals Royal Bahamian. While we were there to explore, experience and learn about the many unique aspects to a Sandals' vacation, there was one element that stood out above the rest, Sandals very own WeddingMoons. The name alone might sound intuitive, but believe me when I tell you it is something very much more!

Prior to heading to Las Vegas this passed spring with Aisle Society for WPPI, I had had the opportunity to stroll through the cavernous halls of high end boutiques that make up The Shops at the Palazzo on prior trips. To say it is a unique creature all its own would be quite the understatement. Featuring an incredibly well done atmospheric design, the enclosed world is designed to mimic the wondering streets of Venice, complete with the most incredible lighting that grows & softens along with the time of day of the outside world. In addition to the wandering world of restaurants, boutiques and performance artists that bring old world Italy to Vegas, a canal weaves it's way through the grounds complete with Gondolas driven by bellowing oarsmen. I dare say my understanding and appreciation of the property ended there. What I learned this passed spring however, is how very little I knew and more over, how incredibly cool the property truly was. To have only gone to the shops and think you know what it is all about, is but the tiniest of a fraction and more to the point, one that robs you of how truly intriguing and dynamic it really is.

Ocean favorites with a touch of whimsy is how Ashley Seitter & Justin Gearheart saw their wedding day. Working tirelessly with the aid of friends & family, the couple created a day filled of DIY projects that put beach life front and center. Ashley wore a gorgeous gown from Saison Blanche Couture which had fun decorative flowers that really brought a light hearted and whimsical feel. Not to be out done in the area of whimsy, Justin wore a fishing lure for his boutonniere! At 4:15pm ceremony kicked things off along the shore line in Corolla Village, Outer Banks, where guests could switch their heels up for flip flops and shades. For the celebration, a tented reception was held, where things like hurricane lanterns, starfish, even sea shell table numbers filled the room. Fun elements like sea shell sugar holders {brilliant by the way!} & colorful paper lanterns made the room come alive in a world of whimsical joy! Capping the evening, Ashley & Justin went on their way under the burning ambers of a sparkler sendoff!
