Before you dive into the beautiful chaos that is w Before you dive into the beautiful chaos that is wedding planning, let’s talk about how you can add those personal touches that scream “you!”

You know, like giving out “Dundie” awards at your reception! OR having the officiant open the ceremony with, “We are gathered here today to celebrate the love between two people, whose lives were ostensibly brought together by the fated flap of a butterfly wing.”

The possibilities are truly endless! 🤣

“It still has the beauties of Mexico without being as touristy, yet still extremely safe,” the bride explains.

“I can easily say, the moment I met him, I knew I “I can easily say, the moment I met him, I knew I had to have him,” Breanna says about her now husband, Oscar. After meeting through mutual friends, the two began dating and found a mutual love in experiencing different cultures across the world, side by side. 

Their wedding day had to honor that love, so the rich culture of Costa Rica beckoned Breanna and Oscar to an intimate oceanside wedding in Playa Langosta.

You don’t just buy a dress from a bridal shop… you make memories there 🤍
The nerves, the happy tears, the “THIS IS THE ONE” moment! 

So when they celebrate a milestone, it feels a little personal too. 🥂

Small wedding businesses are part of one of the biggest days of your life, and cheering them on (plus sending new business their way) is one of the easiest way to say thank you!

Idk who needs to hear this but... (Destination Wed Idk who needs to hear this but... (Destination Wedding Edition)

1. You are not “selfish” for having a destination wedding.

As long as you accept “No” with grace, you aren’t “passing the bill” to your guests. Host an at-home celebration (doesn’t have to be anything fancy) for those who can’t make it.

2. You are not obligated to be your guests’ travel agent.

You’ve got your own stuff to worry about! BUT, putting helpful travel information on your wedding website and sending out Save-the-Dates far in advance (10-12 months) will save you and your guests extra stress.

3. A slow email response from an international vendor doesn’t mean they ghosted you.

Different cultures have different communication cadences and preferred forms. Ask how you can best reach them - many international vendors are quicker to respond via Whatsapp.

4. You don’t have to spend $30,000+ to have a memorable destination wedding.

Smaller guest counts and all-inclusive packages often keep destination wedding costs down.

After learning of the drastic changes to Iceland’s After learning of the drastic changes to Iceland’s famous black beach, Reynisfjara, we couldn’t help but reminisce on some of the breathtaking elopements we had the pleasure of featuring in this magical location. 

Although, extreme winter storms have eroded and swept away the black sand, leaving the location nearly unrecognizable - it’s form as we knew it lives on in the love stories of so many couples like Tommy and Ashley’s. 🖤
