Destination wedding inspiration

Now that I have my dress and all, I have stopped looking at the ridiculously priced bridal magazines. Instead, my bridal porn of choice are bridal blogs. I can casually peruse them while doing things like pretending to watch college football with the fiance.

I visited the ritzybee blog the other day, and saw a beautiful wedding that I instantly connected with. I loved to see the natural beauty of the couples venue, which was in Negril, Jamaica. Their location was just gorgeous and was on beachfront property. They purposely didn't want to compete with the natural surroundings and didn't decorate excessively. They didn't go overboard with the tropical theme, having only a "subtle starfish" motiff on some of their wedding goods. They also incorporated some of the Carribean colors of the landscape into their decor, but only as accents, leaving white as their main color. The result was a thoroughly modern and serene tropical wedding. See here for the all beautiful pictures and details.

It isn't exactly what we will be going for in our wedding, but it is nice to see that someone else was able to pull off a relatively scaled back modern tropical wedding without looking unadorned or bare. With weddings being such personal events, have you ever just 'meshed' or 'got' someone's wedding? What is the source of your greatest wedding inspiration?
