2019 is quickly coming to an end, so it’s time to round up our picks from this year! Destination weddings have become so popular in wedding planning. From having family placed all over the world, to having a wedding and honeymoon in the same setting, more and more brides and grooms are planning destination weddings every day.

Our destination brides went above and beyond to have a wedding out of the country but to still make it personal for her and her fiance so it still felt like home. Here are our top 2019 destination weddings.

Located at the house Brynn grew up in, Brynn and Ross celebrated their special day in an outside ceremony in Sarasota, Florida. Surrounded by friends, family, and lush fall flowers, the wedding was nothing short of a romantic and elegant gathering. Brynn and Ross’s wedding reception was also outside. The bride, groom, and guests sat at farm tables that were decorated with gold, mustard yellow, and cream tones. The warm colors set the perfect tone for their black-tie affair fall wedding. Keeping the fall tones throughout the wedding, Brynn’s bridesmaids wore a range of jewel-tone bridesmaids dresses. Each bridesmaid wore a different dress and color that works best for them. One of our brides, Ally, is Brynn’s best friend! She was a bridesmaid and wore a stunning emerald green off the shoulder bridesmaids dress. We love this modern bridesmaid take on a classic tradition.

We wanted to host an event that was intimate, relaxing, beautiful, and inviting. Our garden party was brought to life through the setting, flower bar, food, drinks, and music.
