6 tips to plan a destination wedding

Planning a wedding abroad requires knowledge that is sometimes difficult to achieve. In the beginning, planning a wedding abroad can be challenging, and you can feel lost, wondering where to start because, of course, it is not your country, and you don't know anything or not enough about it to make a good plan.

We are specialised in weddings in Tuscany and Italy but the tips you will find listed below are universally applicable and we hope you will find them useful.

What Should You Be Careful About When Planning Destination Weddings?

1) first of all, try to establish your budget because many planners have different fees for luxury weddings and chic weddings with luxury decorations or country chic weddings. Asking for a luxury wedding, for example, you might receive very high quotes and service quotations that you might not want (chauffeur service, wine selection or others);

2) make a list of the most important things that you absolutely would like on your wedding day. After you have a clear idea, go for it and start planning your wedding around those things important to you;

3) as soon as you find a venue that you really like, try to book the flights and go for a visit because only once you are there, will you really feel if that is the perfect place for your wedding;

4) if you cannot visit the venues and you have to rely on your wedding planner to make this important decision, then you have to trust your feelings and choose the person that you think will be most reliable and trustworthy because your wedding will be in her/their hands;

5) when choosing your wedding planner for a destination wedding, make sure that she/they will be able to welcome your guests and organise their accommodation and activities as well;

6) the country you will choose is important because for a destination wedding, you and your guests will probably spend a few days away, so try to find out what you can plan the day before and after the wedding and what your guests could do if they want to go around and visit the area.

We hope you will find those 6 tips useful to start planning your destination wedding abroad and hopefully in Tuscany (Italy) where we will be pleased to welcome you.
