Your destination wedding will be one
of the most memorable parts of your life, but where do you start? With so many
logistics involved it can begin to be overwhelming. Here are a few helpful tips to help
you get started.
Choose your location.
When you imagine your dream wedding where are you? Make a list
of your top 3 must haves for your wedding. Don’t forget to consider the travel
requirements for the location like travel, time, and budget. If you want all of
your friends and family to attend be sure to choose a location that is easy to
travel to.
Hire a travel professional.
Hiring a travel agent who specializes in romance travel will
give you the peace of mind you need when planning your destination wedding. A
specialist can help you sort through all of your options as well as handle all
of the logistics that come with booking a destination wedding. Not only can
they help you in booking your trip they also take care of your group so you
don’t have to. They serve as the point of contact for your guests and can
answer all of their travel questions so you can focus on planning your dream
wedding.

Keep Your Guests in Mind.
Wedding guests put in more time and money to attend a
destination wedding, so be sure to take great care of them! Create a wedding
website so they can find important wedding details in one place. Send out your
“Save the Dates” early so they have plenty of time to save money and vacation
days. A year in advance is customary for a destination wedding.
Book early!
Not only does booking early make it possible for you to inform
your guests, but you will also have many more options to choose from. Choose
your hotel, package, and rooms early in order to secure the location and date
you want.
Do a site visit.
Plan to visit your wedding location in order to experience all
it has to offer before your big day. See the different ceremony and reception
areas, and the meet with the on-site wedding coordinator. This trip is usually
about 3 days just enough time for you to get a feel of the place.
Dress Appropriately.
You may have always dreamed of yourself wearing a huge ball gown
with a long train on your wedding day, but that might not be realistic for a
beach wedding. Keep in mind your location’s climate. Something like chiffon,
organza, or tulle would be more comfortable in a warm weather climate.
Don’t forget the honeymoon!
Some couples treat the week of their wedding as their honeymoon
too, but you may find that you want to get away from the crowd and spend time
together. After your ceremony you can leave the resort to travel to a different
one. You could have your wedding in Cancun, but decide to move to a more
peaceful area like Riviera Maya for your honeymoon. They’re very close to each
other, but you will feel like you’ve made it to a brand new destination.
Alternatively, you could choose a whole new destination for your honeymoon.
There are endless options and the choice is yours!
