You may have noticed Martha Stewart’s first destination wedding magazine issue hit the news stands this month. I’m sure it’s part of a grand plan to focus on the growing destination weddings movement. If you’re familiar with the Sandals brand resort wedding selections, you will quickly notice the premier package designer name change. That’s right! As of January 1, 2010, all Sandals destination weddings switch from Preston Bailey designs to designs of Martha Stewart.
What type of changes can you expect?
The designs are no longer referred to as “collections.” They are now referenced as “themes.” These themes are certainly conducive to the keen design eye of Martha Stewart. There’s a sense of the classic less is more with a special Martha spun emphasis on each design’s details. You won’t be bound to a specific wedding cake (although they are gorgeous). Instead, you will have the option to add petit fours or cup cakes with doily accents. As a side note: We always suggest adding personalized touches to make your resort packaged wedding your very own.
What about the price point?
Did you say price? Naughty you! Remember, it’s not about the price. It’s all about the investment. You can expect your investment to be slightly less on average with these newly presented themes.
What should you expect if you currently have a Preston Bailey Collection wedding booked?
Worry not! You will still enjoy the beautiful Preston Bailey Signature Collection Wedding you’ve planned as booked.
What about weddings at Beaches (the family all inclusive luxury sister brand)?
We’ll keep you posted! As of now, Preston Bailey’s Collection is the only premium offers listed. However, since Martha announced craft camps for families at Beaches locations, we’re sure this will change at the turn of the new year as well.
