Here are 4 tips to help you plan your dream destination wedding:

1. Book a wedding planner: You will need a wedding planner in the country you are getting married in, especially if you don’t speak their language or know their laws.
2. Choose the right weather: Make sure of the weather conditions at your wedding destination before you book anything.
3. Choose the right destination: Choose a country that is easy to travel to, in terms of flight duration and prices. Remember, not all guests are coming to stay a week and not all guests can afford a fancy trip.
4. Inform your guests with details: Create a fact sheet that your guests will find useful or a wedding website. Include the official papers that need to be prepared, such as shots they should take, your wedding time, dress code, accommodation details, and travel options. If you are creating your own website, make sure to include this information in it.
