There are basically two ways to plan a destination wedding. You can either choose a resort or hotel, which will significantly narrow down your options and help with the planning, or you can pick a place where you'll have to do a large amount of the planning yourself. Many destination brides choose the former option, figuring that making life easier is one of the perks that a destination wedding has to offer. The biggest issue then becomes choosing the best possible location from the long list of potential sites.
