It ’ s true , travel advisors have planned a lot of destination weddings and honeymoons . With that experience comes a wealth of knowledge they ’ ve gained over time . Keep reading to get their best advice on the essential do ’ s and don ’ ts of destination wedding planning .
DO : Embrace Local Flair
One of the best parts of a destination wedding is tapping into the local culture to make the experience extra special . Incorporate the flavors , traditions and even music of the locale into your big day . Think fresh ceviche on the beach in Mexico , Champagne and macarons at a château in Provence or wearing a locally made traditional lei po ’ o flower crown in Hawaii .
DON ’ T : DIY Everything
It ’ s easy to get sucked into the idea of making your own wedding favors and table settings , but a destination wedding will just make transporting these projects more stressful . Save yourself the headache and trust your onsite wedding planner to handle the details . Some resorts have entire collections of trendy and timeless décor pieces to choose from — and it ’ s usually already included in the price .
