1. Pick the Perfect Spot
The
location for the wedding not only define your mood, but also the travel time,
budget everything. Your guests, friends have to come from far away to attend
your wedding. If he proposed you in Paris, and you guys already went to your

2.
Time It
Right
Selecting
the right time for wedding matters a lot, because most of the tourist places
are more crowded, there will be a less possibility of getting the hotels and
venues availability, and everything around you are available on higher rates.
It is advisable to reserve the hotel and venue early or before 10-12 months in
advance. Make sure that guest also book their flight tickets early. If you are
selecting the shoulder season that is right after the high season then you and
your guests will be able to save some money and enjoy great weather. While at the
time of off-season, you will found less crowds, the weather is also doubtful or
iffy and some stores, venues and vendors close up shop.
3. Take a Trip
It
is not necessary, but we recommend you to take at least one trip to the venue
or if you can swing it then two or three is ideal.
In
the first trip you have to reserve your hotels, venues, reception space, and
local suppliers like caters, florists and photographers. In next trip or the
second one you have to schedule a ‘tasting’ meeting with you caterer, see the
work or example of florist bouquets, and book an appointment with hair &
makeup salon, and organize some activities like golf, tennis, museums for the
guests. The third trip or last one finalize everything.
4.
Factor in the Extra Expenses
If
everything goes well, then destination wedding would not cost you more, may be
less, and suppose you are living in a metropolitan city, then you can arrange
wedding to an outhouse or to the royal or luxurious palace of the city. Still
there are extra expenses which are the factors of destination wedding like Key
venues and décor, welcome bags and additional activities for guests, tickets
for you and your entire family.
5.
Research Local Marriage Requirements
Some
countries have legal side of tying the knot. Some countries would demand you
for the ‘local residency document’. For example if you are planning to marry in
Paris then you have to stay there 40 days before the marriages. Other countries
have different policy, England would requires a stay of 7 days while Turks
requires only 24 hours stay.
6.
Remember: You're on Island Time
Just
remember you are on a vacation time, so don’t keep a constant eye on clock.
Remember many tropical islands run on “island time” which means things happen
when they meant to be happen. So don’t make a vendor`s laid-back attitude,
check the schedule regular check-ins and then trust your vendor to work their
magic.
7. Take Care of Guests
Arranging
form the flight tickets to rooms, always invite your guests to the rehearsal or
welcome dinner or next day brunch and keep goodie or welcome bags to their
room, keep some chocolates, suntan lotion and water and bug spray. Remember to
take god care of guests, if their mood got spoil then it will badly affects
your wedding function.
8.
Dress the Part
Always
check the climate conditions before choosing your wedding dress and deciding
the everyone`s attire. If the weather is hot so you will be swimming in sweat
and unfortunately, you are wearing your favorite pair of fairy-tale satin ball gown
with tropical humidity and asking your groom to wear tuxes so it`s just like
heat is going cruel. If you are taking the oath outside and suddenly rain start
coming then your beautiful white dress will no longer remain white because of
mud and 4-inch high heels will stick in mud.
9. Mind Mother Nature
Don’t
assume the weather yourself, after all its mother nature. Sometime you will
found hotness is month march, rains in the month of October and more else. It
is advisable to check the climatic conditions and weather of the place where
you are going to marry.
10.

tension. You become so relaxed and also enjoy wedding more joyfully if you
