2. Not all resorts are created equal

There are many resorts available, but not all of them are right for your wedding. Your destination wedding specialist will help you choose based on the location, your budget, the number of guests, and the type of setting you picture for your wedding day. Some important things to consider; will children be attending, and do you want an all-inclusive resort.

3. Set a realistic budget

The average cost of a destination wedding in Mexico for example is roughly $7,000 for 30 guests. This is just the wedding package cost; you need to factor in your travel and accommodations. You also need to decide if you will help pay for any of your guest’s travel costs. Resort wedding packages available vary from resort to resort; some include additional extras such as photography. Know the cost upfront of all the additional options available, especially the ones you want to add.

Romantic European Getaway

Posted on by Lucky n Love

Planning your once-in-a-lifetime romantic European getaway? How many countries should you visit? How many cities should you include? My recommendation is no more than two countries that are within a day of travel from each other, and no more than two cities in each for a 2-week trip. If you try to fit any more than that into your two-week trip, you will be exhausted, and angry, and you might get a little hot-tempered.

The best way to spend two weeks in Italy? On a custom travel itinerary that includes, Venice, Florence, and Rome. Italy is a country that is easily traveled by train to visit these three iconic cities. Take a gondola ride along the canals of Venice, enjoy a Tuscan cooking class in Florence paired with wines of the region, and visit the historical sights of Rome. Trip tip: fly into Venice and return home from Rome.
