Making Destination Weddings A Breeze For The Engaged

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.

Say farewell to the mainstream church matrimony. Say hello to the trend of destination weddings Mexico, with couples getting married at cliff edges, sunset ridden seasides, ski slopes in Alberta, Canada. Because destination weddings prove to be more work than the usual one, here are some things you should consider to lessen the stress.

Pick the location ahead of time. While it should be the wonderland of your dreams, it should also fit your budget. Think about the travel time, accommodations, comfortable flights, and if your guests are all fit and ready to travel.

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.

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.

Be aware of the climate of the destination. If it is sunkissed and tropical, offer cooling stations or parasols, and ensure that the venue has enough protection when rain suddenly pours. Consider wardrobes and costumes that are suitable for the destination. You do not want to wear heels on grass or a train that drags along grass stains and dirt, and you would want your guests to enjoy the celebration, not grumpy because they are being tortured by their outfit.

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.

Be aware of the legal dos and do nots in the area. You are there to get married, not to get locked up or worse. You might be up for a civil wedding at home and a non binding ritual for your destination, so know the law to avoid nasty surprises. Check for the legal tidbits while you are still in your hometown, and make sure all the paperwork are done before you travel.

And as a final reminder, take care of your guests. Everyone should have fun. The celebration might be about you, but do not be selfish and think of it as a birthday party that can only happen once.
