Wedded Wisdom

PAST DESTINATION WEDDING COUPLES SHARE THEIR TIPS

PLAN “B” “When you are planning a wedding outside, have a plan ‘B’ that you can live with in case Mother Nature has different plans than you do that day.” — Elizabeth, Naples, Florida – real wedding on pg. 110

KEEP AN OPEN MIND “Be open minded to changes and flexible in case things don’t go quite as planned, and have fun…this is such an amazing part of your life.” — Luisa, Playa del Carmen, Mexico – real wedding on pg. 94

GET THERE EARLY “I think it is a good idea to arrive at least two-to-three days before the wedding just to be prepared for any last minute or missed details.” — Elizabeth, Dominican Republic

CHECK YOUR PASSPORTS “Six months before your wedding, make sure you and all your guests have a passport that will be up-to-date at the time of your destination wedding if you’re traveling outside of the country. It’s amazing how many problems can be created with this one detail if it’s overlooked.” — Joe, Costa Rica

BOOK ALL YOUR VENDORS EARLY “With the pent-up demand for wedding services, dates are going fast. Book your vendors (even hair and makeup) as soon as you know your wedding date to get the vendors you really want to work with.” — Jen, San Diego

CHASE JOY “Take a step back from planning and ask yourself, ‘If it were just us two, what would we do to celebrate our love?’ Then make sure that those elements are included in your big day.” — India and Hope, Paris, France – real wedding on pg. 102
