· Requirements. It is extremely important to study a bit and see if your wedding will be legal when you return back home. This depends on your wedding location, its legislation, as well as the legislation back home. Run a little research and make sure everything is in order!

· Packing. Don’t forget that packing can be even more stressful for a destination wedding. After all, there will be a lot of items you will have to pack. From the dress itself to all the accessories and the clothes you will use after the wedding. Make a list and thoroughly follow it!

· Accommodations. Taking care of your guests is also very important. Make sure they get to your destination in time and safely. Also, make sure their stay is really enjoyable; from the welcome bags to the easiness to which they book their hotel rooms, everything should be prepared from the moment you invite them.

· Hiring vendors. Last, but not least, remember that hiring vendors from a distance may feel a bit stressful. However, with the help of an experienced wedding planner, you can definitely pull this off, and, your wedding will be breathtaking, unforgettable and truly stunning.

A Venue Coordinator vs. A Wedding Coordinator

Unfortunately, things haven't changed much in the wedding industry regarding the confusion between a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator. Couples still seem very confused between these two roles and end up not hiring a wedding coordinator after speaking with their venue. Their day ends up in disappointment because they assumed they would have that one, key person to go to and rely on for their entire wedding day. Instead, they have to wait until they walk through their venue doors to receive some coordination by their venue coordinator or banquet captain, who's primary responsibility is to the get the meal out on time and at an ideal temperature.

Ask if they will be w

Does a "Day-Of Coordinator" only show up on the wedding day?

"I've done all my own planning and want a "day-of" coordinator but can't find one who will show up on the wedding day only ! Why?" There's probably a lot of confusion amongst engaged couples because of the term "day-of" coordinator. If you end up speaking to someone who says they will only show up on the wedding day and save you lots of money because of it, please stay clear of them! Many wedding planners may label their coordination as "day-of" wedding coordination, but there is far more involved than just showing up on the wedding day when it comes to a professional wedding planner who knows what she/he is doing.

A 1 1/2 to 2 hour timeline meeting typically kicks off

Winter Wedding Uncertainty

Thinking about having a winter wedding but uncertain because of weather and limited options compared to Spring, Summer and Fall weddings? We put together some thoughts to consider that might help you decide if you want to say "I Do" in the winter! You may save money with a winter wedding since many wedding vendors and venues are slower in the winter than any other time of the year. Whether large or small, winter weddings tend to lend that cozy, intimate feel with the cold weather outside, but the warmth inside. You won't have to deal with sweat and feeling sticky during a photo shoot with a winter wedding! Many folks opt to have their winter wedding around the Holidays to take advantage of using Christmas decorations that your venue may be decorated with. If considering this, try to pick a day that isn't so close to the Holidays, like early in December before the month gets too crazy for everyone. Mother Nature is taken out of the equation when planning a wi
