7 Reasons A Beach Wedding Could Be Right For You20/2/2016

To be honest, I was never that little girl who dreamed about planning a big, extravagent wedding. I have, however, always been a big fan of tropical getaways and *love*. If I ever get married, you can be sure that it will be somewhere warm and sandy with a guaranteed beautiful sunset and probably no shoes. After all, your wedding should be about you and your partner and setting up the ideal day for you and your loved ones — whether that's at a lavish church or a secluded beach. Because it's a little off the traditonal road, you may not have considered a seaside destination for your own ceremony, but with a little inspiration from the US Virgin Islands, we've devised a pretty convincing list of reasons why a beach wedding could be totally right for you.

There are a few obvious factors that might have you convinced already, but just to confirm our suspicions, we chatted with bona fide wedding expert, attendee of at least 10 destination weddings, and founder of Bridesmaids For Hire, Jen Glantz. Spoiler alert: Glantz did make a tropical destination wedding sound like the best idea ever, but also got into the nitty-gritty of whythey work so well for some couples. From travel logistics and decorating to activities, family, dress code, and beyond, we've covered all the bases. Here are the top seven reasons to consider your own beach wedding.

1. Your Style Is On The Relaxed Side

As Jen confirms, beach ceremonies are best for laid-back couples who love a little adventure. "In my experience, people are moving away from having cookie-cutter weddings," she says. "They're looking for something different."

This probably means that your dream dress is more understated and elegant than flouncy and embellished, and you really don't mind ditching high heels for sandals — but, in St. Croix, would you go for anything else?

2. You Want An Intimate Affair

When you plan a destination wedding, it's important to realize that fewer people will be there — but for many, that's a plus. As Glantz points out, "It gives you an excuse to spend more time with your guests. At a 'traditional' wedding you only get a couple of hours, if that."

The people you're closest with will make the journey, and you'll end up with a tighter group of people that you actually want to spend time with. No second cousins (twice removed) or random friends of your parents here!

3. You'll Get Ambiance You Can’t Put A Price Tag On

This overlook in St. John is the stuff that dreams are made of. You can deck out any banquet hall with flowers and tea lights, but even the most phenomenally decorated venue will not hold a candle to a warm, idyllic beach at sundown. If you agree with me here, this case is practically closed.

4. Your Schedule Is Packed, So Finding The Time For A Honeymoon Is Tricky

One major plus to destination weddings is the built-in vacation. You're already away, so you might as well tack on an extra week, right? The two-in-one deal is pretty convenient, and what could be better than some of those carefree vacation vibes on your wedding day?

5. Your Squad Loves An Adventure

You probably already have an idea of whether or not your group of friends would be excited about this. Glantz points out that there's way more time for activities when you plan a destination wedding, and opportunities for you and your guests to enjoy things like boating, snorkeling, or simply hanging on the beach together.

6. It's Easier On Your Budget Than You Might Think

A destination wedding might sound pricey, but it's important to think of all the places you'll be saving. When your venue is the beach, a lot of the work is already done — instant atmosphere! Your dress code will probably be more casual (i.e., dresses will likely cost way less), and amazing seafood and exotic flowers are much less expensive when they aren't being shipped in. Lastly, beachside destinations (yes, like the U.S. Virgin Islands) are more than equipped for this sort of thing.

"When you plan a destination wedding, they're usually all-inclusive," says Glantz. "A lot of the planning can be done for you!"

7. You Dream Of An Endless Summer

When you close your eyes and visualize "vacation," do you see sandy beaches and warm blue water? When winter snow storms hit, do you start counting down the weeks until June? Some of us are just beach people, and what better time than your wedding to be in your happy place? Your wedding should be totally tailored to you and your loved ones, and if a tropical locale like St. Thomas sounds ideal, it's a lot more doable than you think.

Rosetta Getty17/2/2016

Director Chantal Akerman, who passed away in October, was a keen observer of women’s lives. In films such as Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, for instance, she attended to the unspectacular activities of a single day in the life of a widowed housewife, patiently letting the tension build to the point that it boils over. This season, Rosetta Gettyturned the lens back on Akerman, as it were, studying both her relaxed personal style and her method, as a director, of mining drama from the seemingly mundane. With that in mind, Getty focused less on making any big statements with her collection and more on telling gestures.

As usual with Getty, much of this collection’s expressiveness was to be discovered in its luxe fabrications. There were some stunning textiles here, including the softly pleated velvet, sparkly bouclé, and mesh threaded with various colors of Lurex. Getty had the good sense to let these materials speak for themselves, deploying them in fairly straightforward silhouettes—the pleated velvet, for instance, was done up into a T-shirt-shaped evening dress open in the back, while the mesh was deployed in fluid gowns and blue bridesmaid dresses that underscored the material’s fantastic drape. The emphasis on simplicity carried through the rest of the collection, as well. To wit, Getty had no truck with coat collars this season, even going so far as to shear the lapels off her burgundy wool trench, and she reduced her trouser silhouettes to a tight edit of exactly two (a cigarette pant, and a very nice cropped flare). There were flourishes, of course, but even these were sotto voce ones—a touch of skin baring in back, a bell-shaped silhouette on a funnel-neck sweater, a bit of the wrapping and tying that’s become a Getty trademark. But, fittingly for a collection indebted to the work of Akerman, the showiest piece here was also the most humble one: Getty’s crocheted alpaca cape looked for all the world like the kind of afghan your granny might knit for you because she was worried you were cold. It was a piece of fashion business that reminded you what it feels like to be loved.
