Helpful Tips For Destination Weddings

By Young Lindsay


In the year 2,800 BC, the first use of wedding bands was recorded, although it would take centuries later, in 1477 AD, for the diamond engagement ring to be popularized. In 1499, one of the first white wedding gowns was worn. And after five thousand years of saying I do, the way the world does the trendy wedding celebration has certainly evolved.

Couples have been saying goodbye to the good old church wedding in recent years. In lieu of the classic method, the engaged have embraced destination weddings Mexico, searching for exotic locales to tie the knot, from sunny islands and to the icy Alberta, Canada. Because destination weddings are certainly more tedious, here are some useful tips you can use so that you do not need to be part of the very real bridezilla phenomenon.

Choosing the right location is the first factor you have to consider. It should be somewhere that reflects your passions and your character as a couple. Yet whether you want something beachy or rustic or whimsical, you should also consider travel time and expenses, especially if you are planning to travel abroad. Remember that the value of your currency fluctuates depending on your location, so calculate while you are ahead.

Ensure that you still have plenty of planning time after you have decided on the location. Venues are strongly encouraged to be booked in advance, like around 18 months before the knot tying date. The earlier you book, the more freedom you have in terms of choices.

The typical big church matrimony is already stressful enough, so do not expect that destination ceremonies are easier. Do hire a professional wedding planner who has a thorough knowledge of the location and can provide you trustworthy vendors who are within your budget. The logistics of your wedlock should be better left to the professionals if you want to enjoy planning your nuptials.

Know what kind of climate your wedding venue has, and be prepared if it is very hot or very cold. Do not torture your bridesmaids and groomsmen with clothing that is inappropriate for the temperature of the venue. Pick costumes that will suit the weather, because during weddings, you do not go with fashion over comfort if you want everyone, including yourself, to have a good time.

Get some downtime before the big day. With relatives and friends going head over heels to participate in your plans, it can be overwhelming and even very exhausting, so give yourself a break. Sneak in some alone time with your fiance and spend that time for romantic relaxation.

Know the laws of the land you are tying the knot in, especially if it is abroad. There are places wherein you will need to be resident of two years before you get to wed in that location, so call the family lawyer and see what you can do. Do not forget that the point is that you are married at the end of the day.

Finally, give your guests some tender love and care. Remember that this is like throwing a birthday bash, only this one happens very rarely. Appreciate that they might have undergone a lot of expenses and effort to be there in your big day. Hire a concierge by all means, and give them a welcome meal when they arrive.
