Colorado Destination Wedding Planning

Destination Weddings and Winter Park


So many details, so many logistics. This is an undeniable fact when planning a destination wedding. Follow these simple steps and you will sleep easy during your planning process:

*Establish your Budget (again, the b word . . .). Stick with it!

*Pick your venue

*DO NOT SECOND GUESS YOURSELF

*Create an inspiration board, colors, textures, photos that convey the feeling you want. Bring it to your vendor meetings. Pictures ARE worth a thousand words and you will save yourself time and money!

*Put together your team of vendors. Whenever possible, choose people that play nicely together (i.e. the wedding planner likes the florist, the dj and the photographer do not have competing egos, etc) Be nice to everyone. Like the old man says - You catch more flies with honey . . .

*Iron out logistics no later than 2 weeks prior. Seating charts, ceremony walking order, timing for the day, get these things ironed out way before you arrive for your wedding weekend.

*Trust in the team that you have assembled and when all is said and done, you have to go with the flow. People forget things (I had a groom forget his shirt - we were on a ranch - no tux rental close), cars break down(again, if your vendors are all friendly, one of them can pick the other up on the way) and weather is . . .weather. When all is said and done, it is about the two of you, your families and your friends together for an
amazing celebration!
