You’ve got the ring and a vision. Now what? If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding, there a few key things to keep in mind to make sure that your day is as perfect as your Pinterest board.

Pick a location that is special to you

The world is at your fingertips but finding the right place for your big day is not easy. Not only will you want to have an unforgettable picturesque location, but you also have to keep in mind the logistics. Keeping accommodations and accessibility in mind for all your guests is essential. Think back on places you have been with your spouse-to-be. Sometimes the most meaningful places are the ones where lasting memories were made.

Let your wedding reflect the destination

Once you have a location, your planning can begin. One ingenious way to cut on costs is to incorporate the destination into your wedding. Barbados lilies are perfect for a Caribbean wedding while a bouquet of dahlias set the stage for a Mexican wedding. Bringing the destination to life with local flora will cut on costs as well as enhance the experience for you and your guests.

Choose your dress wisely

The crown jewel of the wedding is the wedding dress. You want this to be perfect. This means looking at what dress would best reflect your wedding as a whole. Creating a masterpiece means making sure every detail comes to life. To bring everything together try light, breathable fabric for a sandy beach or include sleeves for mountain destinations. Your dress will be an extension of the perfect wedding.

Keep your guests in mind

While planning the wedding of your dreams, it’s easy to get lost, but your guests should always be brought into consideration. Whether you have a small, intimate wedding or a larger party, your guests need somewhere to stay. Making sure there is plenty of availability is an absolute must. Best Western Hotels & Resorts is a wonderful and affordable place for your guests to stay at a discounted group rate. All your guests will be able to enjoy themselves while you are having the wedding of your dreams.
