On Your Big Day, Everything Matters

Curate Your Wedding Adventures

By Maria Bunnewith

As much as you want to your destination wedding to be memorable, you also want it to reflect who you and your partner are. You don’ t want a Cirque du Soleil performer doing acrobatics during your rehearsal dinner or a live artist sculpting your images from a block of wax if neither of these activities is representative of your true interests. In what ways can you customize your wedding at an all-inclusive resort to make it authentically about you as a couple?

For the Adventurous
If you and your boo are thrill-seekers who met bungee jumping or bouldering, you may want to choose a wedding location that allows you and your party to indulge in a little adrenaline pumping. Speed over sand dunes and slalom through the cacti in a Can-Am X3 at The Palace Company’ s Le Blanc Resorts locations in Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, Mexico, catching a glimpse of the amazing views through the clouds of dust your hot wheels kick up. For a slightly tamer experience, rent a Jeep at a Palace Resort, pop off the top and make an entry at your wedding that your guests won’ t soon forget.

For the Eco-Conscious
If you didn’ t waste paper on wedding invitations, you got your gown at a consignment shop and the two of you are sporting ethically sourced rings, an eco-conscious wedding may be for you. Iberostar is an industry leader in this respect, giving their efforts a name: Wave of Change. They started small by stamping out the use of plastic straws at their 120 properties worldwide and are now expanding to remove all single-use plastics from guestrooms. Their menus are heavy with local fish that are not endangered, and they operate their very own Coral Lab, a research facility that aims to conserve and restore coral reefs near their properties. You and your wedding guests can even participate in Iberostar’ s conservation efforts, helping to clean up nearby beaches and leaving your destination wedding location better than you found it.
