Sexy walks a fine line between being genuinely attractive and being just plain cheap. Even slits have a limit when it comes to good taste. Remember Elizabeth Hurley’s crotch-revealing gown when she went to a wedding? And she wasn’t even the bride! She got away with it but, as beautiful as Ms. Hurley is, the antic left many of the guests with a bad memory of the affair.

Sexy is about showing your curves, all your good parts and still keeping enough from plain view to keep everyone guessing. And that is something you can do with your beach wedding dress. So which areas of the body should you expose and better yet, how much?

One thing to remember when picking your sexy beach wedding dress is to consider which parts of your body you are most proud of. If you have curves like a guitar, a fitting bodice can show them off nicely. If your legs are to-die for, a short dress or a slit that goes halfway up your thighs is a great way to wear a sexy beach wedding dress. The trick is finding one or two areas you can emphasize and allowing the rest of your body to play up your best asset.

Beach wedding dresses also require your arms to go uncovered. That enough is already sexy. If you’re wearing a long beach wedding dress, show off your neck and shoulders by tying back your hair in an upswept hairdo and wearing a strapless or off-the-shoulder gown. Or go for minimal yet sexy skin exposure with a halter neck. A halter neck will show off toned shoulders and some skin on the front torso and upper back.

A sexy beach wedding dress can also work well with a low-cut back. If your back looks as sexy as Hilary Swank’s or Nicole Kidman’s, wear a sleeveless, scoop neck and a plunging back. Any style will do – the wide V-cut to reveal nice shoulder blades and just skim your lower back or a shy slit that can run straight from the nape of your neck to the small of your back, revealing your skin only when a breeze blows it slightly open.

And what’s a sexy beach wedding dress without the cleavage? Maximize your curves with a midriff-skimming bustier or if you’re a little shy, wear a demure beach wedding dress with a little peep hole in front.

Wedding planning for a destination wedding can be fairly simple as there is often a wedding coordinator at your destination busy organizing everything for you. Aside from purchasing your wedding attire, you may also want to consider taking out your wedding favors with you rather than trying to purchase them there.

There are a few factors you will need to consider when taking wedding favors overseas. Firstly, there are some restrictions over food items and toiletries in light of terrorist attacks in recent years. Check out what you can and cannot take with you, either in your luggage or in your hand luggage.

Next think about the climate in your destination – chocolate wedding favors could prove to be the wrong choice! In fact many edible favors such as candies, cookies and preserves are unlikely to fair very well in a tropical or temperate climate, so are probably best avoided.

Think about the size of your favors, packaging and how easy they will be to pack and transport. Will they suffer from being squashed in a suitcase? Are they breakable? How much extra weight will they add to your luggage and will you be charged a surcharge because of it?

When you take these things into account favors such as mint tins seem the only solution! Nice square tins pack easily, mints won’t suffer in the heat and tins won’t break! But there are a few options open to you:

Folded fans make nice favors for your guests and will help to keep them cool whilst the ceremony is going on. Sachets of refreshing lemonade mix or lemon tea leaves are so easy to pack and transport, and won’t take up much room in your luggage.

Small photograph frames should pack easily, as long as they are not a peculiar shape! Or chrome luggage tags in the shape of planes or boats make a favor with a destination theme! Mini photograph albums are perfect for your guests to add their snaps to after you’re wedding, but could prove a bulky favor to transport.

As a compromise you could risk leaving your wedding favors until you get out there and then choosing something local to the area. You could take packaging, ribbons and tags with you, however, without knowing what your favors will be you could end up having packaging which isn’t suitable and have to purchase more!

Have a talk with your wedding coordinator about your wedding favors. If you are getting married in a hotel then perhaps they could arrange for the hotel kitchen to make you some cookies or arrange for some chocolates to be delivered for your wedding favors.

Destination weddings are popular right now.The most popular wedding destinations are Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Aruba, St. Lucia, Puerto Rico,  and Antigua.

If you don’t want to plan your wedding, you can hire a wedding planner. However, many hotels include wedding planning services in their wedding packages for free.

A wedding planner will also make sure that your special day is memorable for you, your future spouse, and your guests.

You will want to invite many people to your wedding ceremony, but you may be limited to those that you can pay to come. Now, not everyone you invite is someone that you are going to have to pay for, but some you may.

Be quite frank with those that you invite about what you are covering in costs and what they will have to. Realize that some may not be able to make it and that should be okay with you. Do not pressure those that have financial or employment strains to come to your destination wedding unless you plan to pay for them to do so.

You should pay for the lodging of your wedding party though. The people that are sponsoring the wedding need to pay for the lodging and the needs of the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. Insure that this is factored into the cost of the wedding itself.

If you will have more guests coming for your destination wedding, make sure that you do everything you can to help them to get the lowest rates. For example, you may be able to arrange group rates or book a block of rooms for them to stay in. While they may be paying for it, this can be more encouragement to those that have not visited the area to come down.

Define the Dress Code

Another thing that is necessary for the host of the destination to do is to help the guests to know what to wear when they get there. There are two things to consider here. First, the attire for the wedding may be different at a destination wedding. If so, it may be necessary to determine what the right attire is and then insure that the wedding party and the guests know what that attire should be.

If they have not traveled to the location before, it is necessary for you to give them help with knowing what the right type of clothing to bring and wear is. This should include clothing for time spent not with the wedding party as well. You should allow your guests to know what the theme, informal or formal, of the wedding ceremony will be. Any other gatherings that happen should also be considered and communicated as well.

What to Do

Another factor to consider about the destination wedding is what should be done during it.

If you will be inviting guests to your destination wedding, make sure you provide enough for them to do when they are there.

The wedding ceremony is only the start of what you should do. You should have a welcoming dinner or cocktail where you will inform the guests, once they arrive what the agenda is. Even if it is limited by just the ceremony and a small reception, this information should be presented to the guests even before they arrive.

Some will want to spend the entire time with you while others will be more responsive to heading out to explore the area on their own. Make sure that as the bride and groom and the parents of them sponsoring the wedding that you cater to their needs here.

It is customary for some meals to be spent with various guests that come to the wedding. Often, these can include dinner each night or it may just be a get together on the beach. Whatever it is, make sure guests are aware of what your plans are for the time that they spend with you.
