 Destination Wedding Tips
Destination Wedding Attire
Choosing Your Wedding Attire
What you're going to wear on your wedding can be dictated by many things - your personal style, your budget or your location. If you need to get destination wedding attire, you might wonder if you should pick a traditional wedding gown or a simpler dress. DestinationWeddings.com makes it easy to find resources about dressing for your chosen location, or you can do some research on the Internet. Make sure to pick an outfit that will be comfortable for your climate and setting.
Different Types of Wedding Attire
When planning destination wedding attire, you may need a little help deciding on a theme. No matter where you are going to get married, a wedding dress can be as formal or as casual as you'd like. Searching for your type of dress can be as easy as previewing them online. You may wish to choose something completely different from the usual dress, however, and many people with destination weddings choose local styles to complement their location. If you're getting married in Hawaii, for instance, a beautiful Hawaiian dress complete with a lei might be exactly the style you're going for.
Where to Buy Your Wedding Attire
If you are traveling to get married, you might be wondering where to purchase your destination wedding attire. Some people prefer to buy something while they're still at or near their home, as then they can spend a lot of time trying on different styles and finding something that fits perfectly. Another choice is to buy your wedding dress or outfit when you get to your destination. Talk to your Destination Wedding Specialist for ideas on locations, and once you've picked a destination you can search for dress shops and other stores that are located near your wedding site.
What to Wear as Wedding Attire – Men
Men have it a bit easier when planning their destination wedding attire. Most likely, your destination wedding will be a less formal affair than a church wedding. A light suit with or without a tie, or a pair of casual pants and a button down shirt will be dressy enough for a beach wedding. Make sure to match your outfit to the type of dress that your bride is choosing to wear. Once you get to your destination, it is also possible in many cases to rent a tuxedo or other dressy wedding wear (if your future Mrs. is wearing a fancy gown), but make sure to check with your specific location before counting on this. You may need to rent or purchase a tux before leaving for your wedding if they are not available where you're getting married.
How to Get Your Wedding Attire to Your Wedding
If you aren't able to buy your destination wedding attire at your desired destination spot, you'll need to fly it to your chosen location with you. For some women this poses a problem, as elaborate wedding dresses can take up a lot of space. One bit of advice is to always pack your wedding gown in a garment bag and take it into the plane with you as a carry-on. That way, even if the rest of your luggage is lost your wedding dress will arrive safely with you. If you are having a casual destination wedding, you can choose from a variety of fabrics and styles that travel well, and you may just be able to fold your dress into a regular piece of luggage!
Please Remember:
Destination weddings take considerable planning and research, and the best properties & accommodations often book far in advance of the wedding date.
The earlier you begin planning your wedding, the greater the likelihood you will be able to book the perfect property for you and your guests.
