Something old, something blue, something borrowed, something NEW?


We all know that many lovely ladies will have received that proposal this past holiday.  Let's begin a memory of a lifetime with a different, exciting, celebration that matters to the  most important people at the wedding!  The bride and groom want a Destination Wedding, the  alternative for today’s brides that is quickly growing on the forefront of weddings, “the get-away” - the ready to run to a perfect, romantic, no stress place of bliss and holy matrimony. 

Destination Weddings are very popular and can accommodate just the couple or a gathering of their closest friends.  Here are five items of importance before your big event:

1.Location,location,location!
The WHERE? Take ample time to consider what is most important to you both.  Maybe a mountaintop experience by a babbling brook, or an exotic far-flung location with your feet in the sand.  It is up to you! 

2.Budget

 The HOW MUCH? What is the most important thing to you?  A destination wedding can be cost effective, less expensive than a traditional wedding, even when you factor in airfares, hotel expenses, etc. You can combine your ceremony & reception with a honeymoon - while offering your friends and family an opportunity to vacation themselves too!  

3.Get Help - Be Realistic!

The WHO CAN make your dreams come true?  Your wedding day is one of the most important so entrust it someone else's capable hands, and allow a wedding planner to shoulder the burden of researching and securing local vendors. Don’t go the “DIY” route on these kind of details.  (if you live in the Piedmont Triad - you could consult with a local wedding planner such as +Nishaka Proctor at EventsbyNishaka) 

Or, are you dreaming of somewhere more exotic for your destination wedding?

4.Choosing the right dress

The WHAT to wear-it’s all about you girl!  When choosing your wedding dress, and the attire for the rest of the wedding party - don't forget to consider the climate for your chosen location.

5.How do you pack your wedding dress?

The PACK my dress you say??? 

 +Christel Wilson from Mori Luggage & Gifts has some wonderful packing tips for making sure your special dress and you, are wrinkle free when you arrive at your destination.
