Buy Your Outdoor Wedding from a Catalog

Wouldn't it be marvelous if planning your outdoor wedding was as easy as shopping from a catalog? Well... it can be. That is, if you (or your generous folks) have $1.3 million to spend on an utterly fabulous destination wedding.

The 2008 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book debuted last week, and a Luxury Destination Wedding Package at California's new Resort at Pelican Hill, which is scheduled to open November 26, was among the exclusive, exorbitantly priced Wow! Gifts featured within its pages.

Even if your wedding budget is closer to $13 than $1.3 million, it's fun to read the package details and dream just a little bit.

I'm wishing that I could afford this gorgeous, wine-colored Chetta B lace jacket and long skirt to wear to a November 1 wedding I'm attending. Alas, the ensemble goes for $735.
