Bridezilla Solutions For Perfect Destination Weddings

By Young Lindsay


The history of the wedding celebration has spanned five thousand years. From wedding bands in 2,800 BC to diamond proposal rings in 1477 AD to the white wedding dress in 1499, more and more customizations to the nuptial ceremony has emerged. Saying I do is not as simple as making vows under a moonlit tree anymore.

Today, engaged couples have been abandoning the traditional church nuptials. Instead, most lovebirds opt for destination weddings Mexico, and picking unique places such as tropical islands, mountains, and Alberta, Canada. The good news is that there are actually a lot of things you can do to help you plan your special day without having to be the dreaded bridezilla.

Pick the location ahead of time. While it should be the wonderland of your dreams, it should also fit your budget. Think about the travel time, accommodations, comfortable flights, and if your guests are all fit and ready to travel.

Ensure that you still have plenty of planning time after you have decided on the location. Venues are strongly encouraged to be booked in advance, like around 18 months before the knot tying date. The earlier you book, the more freedom you have in terms of choices.

The typical big church matrimony is already stressful enough, so do not expect that destination ceremonies are easier. Do hire a professional wedding planner who has a thorough knowledge of the location and can provide you trustworthy vendors who are within your budget. The logistics of your wedlock should be better left to the professionals if you want to enjoy planning your nuptials.

Know what kind of climate your wedding venue has, and be prepared if it is very hot or very cold. Do not torture your bridesmaids and groomsmen with clothing that is inappropriate for the temperature of the venue. Pick costumes that will suit the weather, because during weddings, you do not go with fashion over comfort if you want everyone, including yourself, to have a good time.

Keep calm by raking in a little downtime. Do not make your fairytale fantasies become some sort of apocalyptic emergency, because that would make you a very ugly, stressed bride. Instead, announce a recess and have some romantic alone time with your fiance. It would refresh and revitalize you and keep the eye bags at bay.

Get acquainted with the local laws. You do not want to tie the knot abroad only to get locked up in jail instead of getting locked up in bed on your honeymoon. There are countries wherein they require residency before getting married there, and some even have religious requirements. Check with your family lawyer and do the legal stuff at home before you fly out. It might be a non binding ceremony when you get there, so make sure you already know the drill.

And as a final reminder, take care of your guests. Everyone should have fun. The celebration might be about you, but do not be selfish and think of it as a birthday party that can only happen once.
