After wedding drama after just a couple months going into the planning, my fiance and I opted to do the destination route and then come back and have a big reception. We've been looking online trying to find the best places for having a wedding, but can't really get an idea of what we're looking at it costing us to see how to rule out areas. We're getting married in March and everyone we talk to says that we can't really book anything until May, but I'm just trying to get a ballpark idea of what it would cost to do a destination wedding. I've looked at all these prices that people have posted, but I'm not trying to do a wedding and reception at the same time. We just want to have the ceremony and then stay for our honeymoon afterward and do all the things related to a reception when we get back. Can anyone shed some insight on routes to pursue or what it cost for them to have just the wedding? Hope this makes sense!! Happy Blogging!
