So you’ve gotten engaged and are dreaming of a d

So you’ve gotten engaged and are dreaming of a destination wedding? Here are the first couple of steps to take according to the experts:

1️⃣ Celebrate the Moment
Take time to enjoy your engagement before diving into planning. Toast with your partner, share the news with loved ones, and soak it all in! 🥂✨

2️⃣ Set a Realistic Budget
Discuss finances and agree on a budget. Knowing your limits early helps narrow down your destination and options. 💸

3️⃣ Choose the Perfect Destination
Think about the vibe you want—beachy paradise, romantic vineyard, or historic city? Research locations that fit your vision. 🌍🏖️

4️⃣ Create a Guest List
Decide if you want an intimate ceremony or a larger celebration. This affects your venue options and travel logistics. ✍️

5️⃣ Hire a Destination Wedding Planner
A planner who specializes in your destinations can handle the logistics, recommend vendors, and navigate language or cultural differences. 🗺️

6️⃣ Check Local Marriage Requirements
Some destinations have specific legal requirements for getting married. Research what’s needed or plan a symbolic ceremony with a legal one at home. 📝

7️⃣ Send Save the Dates Early
Give your guests plenty of notice—especially if they’ll need to book international travel. A save-the-date 8-12 months out is ideal! 📅

💌 Save this post for later and share it with your partner! Need more tips? Or, want to see more of this styled shoot? Go to DestinationIDo.com!
