Destination weddings will grow to $16 billion this year, up from $13 billion in 2008, despite the recession, says a new survey conducted by Destination Weddings Magazine.

Despite the lull in business as reported by resort, hotel and tourism officials, many more people are planning intimate weddings in places like Florida, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Fiji, the Caribbean and Mexico.

The average budget dipped slightly to $20,398, which includes hotels, dresses, catering, reception venues and themed party wedding favors. While wedding party gifts and personalized wedding favors may seem like the least of one’s worries during such an extravagant event, getting these little details right can make the difference between a comfortable, satisfying time for guests and an awkward weekend outside of one’s comfort zone.
