It’s the holiday season – frosted window panes, heavy clothing, and thoughts of gift exchanges are everywhere. While some folks enjoy the chill in the air, others want to take their mind off of the freezing temperatures by envisioning somewhere much more balmy. We understand that, sometimes, that extra blanket or a roaring fire just isn’t enough – you may need something a little stronger to warm your hands and toes.

Destination weddings have become increasingly more popular in the last few decades. Though they are typically much smaller affairs, they embody a quality that many local weddings do not: everyone feels like they’re on vacation. If you could use a similar trip these winter months, we’ve put together some of our favorite snapshots from warm, beach weddings to keep you motivated through the cold.
