If you are planning for a destination wedding, there are a lot of things to take care of. This obviously cannot be done by one person or someone who does not stay at the destination. To make it right, you will probably hire someone who stays there and help you out with wedding planning. Here are a few ways to ace your destination wedding:
5 ways to ace a destination wedding
PRIORITIZE THE LOCATION
The first and foremost step towards having the perfect destination wedding is to select a suitable location. If you choose a bad location, the entire mood can go to waste, in spite of everything else being perfectly planned. Always be aware of the weather at that location, along with available venues, local vendors, and their overall aesthetics. Also, make sure you book the location in advance.This will ensure that you get your desired destination wedding venue, even during a busy wedding season.
KEEP THE GUEST-LIST IN CHECK
Usually in India, people tend to invite a huge amount of people for a wedding to make it look as grand as possible. This is definitely beautiful in a way but as booking a large wedding venue is an expensive affair, it is advised that you have a limited list of guests. You will load yourself with expenses and end up incurring the cost of lodging, transportation, and other sundry expenses for your guests in most cases. It is, therefore, possible to celebrate a wedding destination only in the midst of your close ones.
HIRE LOCAL PROFESSIONALS
When it comes to wedding places for a destination wedding, there are a lot of things to take care of. It is just not shopping, but many different things for your guests that needs to be taken care of. A single person cannot do this on their own. Hence, it is always recommended to hire local professionals for betterment. A very important step is to select local vendors and planners when it comes to a wedding venue, especially when it comes to international weddings, as they are familiar with the area, location, language, and any other. It helps in smooth bookings as they are up-to-date with the appropriate destination information.
BE MINDFUL OF BUDGETS
Always makes sure that you have a budget list in your hand. This is a very important step. When you want to go for a budget wedding, make sure to keep your lodging and travel fair, but convenient. Your guest should not feel like there is something missing. Lodging of your guests matters a lot because they need to be comfortable while they dress up. For alcohol-related weddings, it is best to buy from local stores in order not to incur a huge cost of transporting the same, particularly to an international destination wedding location.
FOCUS ON PACKING
Before you start packing up your bag with all your outfits, make sure you know the weather of the destination because if it is a cold place, you will have to keep some warmer clothes along with you. If it is a place where it rains more often, then it is best to select an indoor venue. If you are having a beach wedding, make sure to pack light clothes for other wedding-related functions like sangeet or cock-tail parties.
