Planning a destination wedding is a different and unique experience than organizing a traditional ceremony. Realistically, you and your partner are planning a wedding, vacation, and a honeymoon all in one with your closest friends and family. You are likely to run into some inconveniences or be under some stress as when planning any wedding. But, the good news is we have created a list of tips to help make your wedding planning in paradise go as smoothly as possible!
Start Planning Early
One major tip for planning a successful destination wedding is to start planning early. There are many details you are going to have to consider that you would not have to think about if planning a local wedding. Planning early gives your guests plenty of time to budget their finances as it could be expensive for them to get there as well.
Planning early also gives you and your partner lots of time to consider everything you are wanting to incorporate into your special day. For example, there may be a DJ you are familiar with from your home and want to have them perform at your wedding. Guest lists are typically smaller at a destination wedding as it can be more expensive to get everyone there. Planning early with your partner gives you both time to draft up your list. Getting everyone you love in the same place for your special day may seem difficult, but if you start planning early all will happen seamlessly.
Make a Trip Out of It
If planning a destination wedding, think about making a trip out of it. Don’t just limit it to the day of the wedding. Instead, think about inviting your guests to multiple events. You can begin with a little party to welcome everyone, have a rehearsal dinner, and potentially have a brunch the day after your wedding. After all you are going to be in a beautiful location for your wedding day with the ones you love the most.
One thing to keep in mind is do not overbook the days. While it would be great to have multiple events, don’t forget to let you and your guests relax. You don’t want to feel overbooked or exhausted. Destination weddings are meant to be a luxurious vacation for all. Expanding the celebration beyond just the wedding ceremony and reception of you and your partner, you are allowing more time to spend meaningful and quality time with your loved ones. You will be sure to create memories of a lifetime.
Think About Hiring A Wedding Planner
Whether getting married where you are from, or thinking about doing a destination wedding, considering hiring a wedding planner is a big one. There are many benefits to hiring a wedding planner according to Wed Inspire. You and your partner will be maximizing not only your time, but your financial budget in the best way.
A destination wedding may be an area you are less familiar with. It would be smart to hire a wedding planner who is an expert in that area who can assist with experienced vendors. You will want to be working with a team that knows the local customs and restrictions. Your significant other and you may already be undertaking some stress. A wedding planner can help limit that and bring every vision you have in mind to real life.
Get a Photographer
Your wedding trip is going to fly by. It is important to remember to soak it all in and enjoy every little moment. A wedding photographer is sure to capture all the details of your special day. Profession photography is an essential part of your wedding day. Pictures will last you and your partner a lifetime to look back on one of the best days.
They know exactly what they are doing to ensure you and your partner have beautiful photos to reminisce on. They know how a wedding day flows and all the angles to capture.
