Helpful Tips For Destination Weddings

By Young Lindsay


Although the use of the wedding band was first recorded in 2,800 BC, it was in 1477 AD when the diamond ring became popular for engagements. The first white wedding dress was worn in 1499, but Queen Victoria is the one who should be blamed for popularizing the said outfit. Now in its five thousandth year, the way of the wedding has certainly changed over time.

Today, engaged couples have been abandoning the traditional church nuptials. Instead, most lovebirds opt for destination weddings Mexico, and picking unique places such as tropical islands, mountains, and Alberta, Canada. The good news is that there are actually a lot of things you can do to help you plan your special day without having to be the dreaded bridezilla.

Pick the perfect spot by choosing a place that embodies the personalities of you and your partner, or somewhere you have been dreaming to visit someday. It could be some rugged cliff for adventurous couples, underwater, or wherever, as long as you have considered the travel time and the costs. Make sure that it would not be too difficult for your guests and family as well, and check for great flight connections, affordable accommodations within the locale of your destination, and reliable transfer companies.

Make lots of time for planning. If the usual duration is one and a half year, book your reservation two years in advance. Consider sending your save the date cards as early as possible so that your working comrades can file their leave for your big day.

We know that matrimony planning is overwhelming, so do not hesitate to call for help. The reason why bridezillas exist is that too often grooms are left out from the scheming, so allow your fiance to participate. Call the fashion police if you have to, and hire that wedding planner who knows the locale and can give you a team of qualified vendors you can trust.

Heed the weather forecast. You will want everyone to enjoy, rain or shine. Satin dresses and suits would be cruel if you will be under the heat of the sun, so choose clothing that would suit your destination.

You might have a full time job and a relationship to maintain on top of your nuptial operations, but take a break once in a while. Do not make that one big day the difference between life and death. Have a dinner date alone with your fiance or treat yourselves into a relaxing massage at the spa. After all, this is about you and your soulmate, not the wedding per se.

Get acquainted with the local laws. You do not want to tie the knot abroad only to get locked up in jail instead of getting locked up in bed on your honeymoon. There are countries wherein they require residency before getting married there, and some even have religious requirements. Check with your family lawyer and do the legal stuff at home before you fly out. It might be a non binding ceremony when you get there, so make sure you already know the drill.

Lastly, look after your posse. Keep in mind that they also underwent lots of effort and expenses to be with you and to help you on the day you say I do. Be thoughtful when it comes to their needs and be sure that they are comfy and cozy upon arrival at the venue.
