1-2-3 Turn Around !
Brides are giving their bridesmaids their own “ reveal ” just minutes before the ceremony . As hard as it is to keep your wedding day look a secret from your best pals , some brides do it for the delighted reaction that can buoy the mood just when nerves are starting to creep in .
Local Flavor
Welcome your guests to a destination wedding with a gift bag representing the local culture . A couple in Jamaica gave their attendees a box with Red Stripe beer , mini-Tortuga rum cakes , handmade shortbread cookies from The Shortbread Shop and organic Hibiscus Petal cold brew tea .
Pop the Question
Proposals aren ’ t just for the bride or groom . The bridal party gets a special ask , which usually comes with a token of appreciation for their participation . Small gifts like an initial necklace , a pair of cozy PJs or a crossbody bag are meaningful ways to celebrate your friendship .
15 Go Farther
Destination weddings are more popular than ever for couples who want to incorporate adventure into their celebration . Sandy beaches in Mexico and the Caribbean are perennial favorites , but some are venturing to distinctive locations like Italy ’ s scenic Lake Como , South Africa ’ s formidable wine regions and Hawaii ’ s dramatic oceanfront cliffs . ◆
