As temperatures of states across the nation continue to drop this winter, we're taking a look back at some of our favorite warm-weather weddings to inspire sunnier days ahead. Whether these celebrations took place in the couple's hometown or a destination location in the tropics, they all have one thing in common: plenty of sun, sand, and warmth.
Regardless of whether or not a winter storm is headed towards your home, the colder months offer an opportunity to appreciate warmer days, and perhaps even the chance to start planning a spring or summer celebration, or even a tropical destination wedding of your own. If you're planning a fun, warm celebration, embrace the vacation vibes and send invitations with whimsical motifs and even luggage tags, say "I do" overlooking the sea while on the sand, and incorporate tropical palms and seashells into your wedding reception décor. The options are endless!
