Wedding Ceremony and Reception different days

I want to get some outside advice of a wedding idea thats been kid of bouncing around in my head. But Next year I am having a destination wedding and I want to get married sunset on a beach with only close friends and family about 40 guest. A small family dinner and next day have a day long reception. The reception wouldn't require second outfits as it is a day resort where we are able to have unlimited food, drink, relaxation, and swim with tropical fish and dolphins. While i love the sound of this idea in my head. Does this sound a little to out of the box for a wedding ????. Should I just try to smash everything all into one day or does anyone think this may actually work.
