Tips for planning your long distance wedding

Destination weddings

Naturally, you want your long distance wedding to be a magnificent and unforgettable – but how do you actually pull together all the planning details when there’s so much distance between you and your vendors?

We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

·       Make two lists of tasks – one for the things you have to get done at home and one for the things you have to get done at your destination. Doing this will help you organize everything better, so that you don’t get too stressed out over all the details.

·       Keep it as simple as possible. Minimalist weddings are not only really trendy right now – but they are a very useful option for those of you planning a destination wedding too. The less you ask for, the more likely it is that everything will be exactly as planned.

·       Know what to ask for. When talking to your vendors, be very certain of what you want. This will help you communicate better and ensure the quality of the entire wedding day, regardless of how large a distance you may have to face.

·       Don’t make rash decisions. We know time can be a huge pressure, especially when planning a long distance wedding – but do make sure you don’t make any rash decisions you might regret later on. After all, this is a completely unique moment in your life – and you want to ensure everything looks and feels truly amazing.
