Consider this before planning your destination wedding

Destination weddings have a special kind of charm that make many couples settle for the idea. However, destination weddings are far from easy when it comes to planning them and you should be prepared to face certain things you wouldn’t have to face otherwise. What are some of the most important issues to keep in mind? Read on and find out more.

· You will most likely receive a lot of “No” RSVPs. No matter how much people love weddings and travelling, some of your guests may not be able to attend your wedding – either because they already made other plans or because they cannot afford it.

· You will have to block the perfect hotel. If you want all of your guests to find accommodation, the best thing to do is to book a hotel for them. Make sure you choose something that’s both affordable and of a good quality too.

· You will have to ship a lot of things. From the guests’ welcome bags to your honeymoon luggage, there will be a lot of things you will want to ship ahead of you. Make sure you create a list and that you don’t forget about anything!

· You will have to work with vendors from afar. Since you will probably not be able to visit your destination every week and talk to your vendors about your ideas and requests, you will have to learn how to deal with them from afar. Even more, you will have to get used to the idea that you might have to book a venue you haven’t seen “in person” yet.

Gowns for a Destination Wedding

Your wedding gown choice will depend on a lot of things, including your general style, your wedding theme and your body’s shape. But you should definitely not forget about the fact that the location of your wedding will make a difference too.

What kind of wedding gown should you look for if you are having a destination wedding? Here are some tips you may want to keep in consideration:

• ·         The length of your dress. If you are planning a beach wedding, take into consideration that an extremely long, floor-sweeping dress may not be the perfect choice as you risk getting it dirty with sand. However, if you really want a long dress and you are ready to take this risk, go for it because it will make for amazing pictures.
• ·         The fabric. Again, beach weddings don’t go very well with very heavy fabrics. One of the reasons is related to the fact that these kinds of fabrics simply don’t “fit” into the background. Another reason is that the higher temperatures may make you feel uncomfortable if your dress is too heavy.  Make sure to choose a dress that you will feel truly comfortable in all day, especially if you are going to be somewhere warm and humid!
• ·         Lace, veil and other similar fabrics look great with almost all types of destination weddings: rustic locations, beaches and so on. These fabrics will look romantic, feminine, gentle and they will be perfect for elegant weddings as well.
• ·         The design of the dress should also be taken into consideration. Generally speaking, ball gown designs and very intricate, ruffled designs may go better with other types of wedding venues.
