How to Plan Your Tropical Wedding in a Pleasant And Creative Way

You are planning the best day of your life. This is your big day. These are the moments you prepare to fulfill your every dream so planning this out should also be something exciting and enjoyable. 

Yet somehow, it is no secret that planning out an elaborate wedding in the Caribbean, even in a gorgeous tropical setting like Punta Cana, can quickly become a very stressful ordeal. This is not how it should be. Come and read with us as we show you how you can plan your tropical wedding in a pleasant way that is a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable, thus minimizing the stress and maximizing your delight. 

Plan ahead for your big day

The more time you give yourself to plan your wedding and make all the arrangements and decisions involved, the easier it will be for you. Try not to overestimate what you can get done in a month. As soon as you can, start working through your to-do list so that you spread out the tasks over a longer period of time and do not end up rushing in the last couple of months. 

There is never a time that is too early to start planning. 

Visit the resort beforehand

Some anxiety can build when you are not really sure what the location has to offer, where you will be coming from or going to, or how everything will look. To put your mind at ease, you may want to consider a mini vacation where you go and scout out your wedding venue and get to know the resort where you will be getting married. 

This visit will serve as a nice way to relax whilst you also get to figure out the little details of your big day and some resorts even offer special deals for those scouting out their venues. 

Hire a wedding planner and coordinator

When you visit the resort, it is also a perfect time to meet the onsite wedding planner or wedding team that will help you create your perfect wedding in the Caribbean. Having this assistance is going to be crucial to your serenity and satisfaction throughout both the wedding planning phase and the execution of your wishes. 

Having a professional wedding expert who knows what they are doing can help you to unload some of the tasks onto them and also have someone looking out for your interests and ensuring that all the little details get taken care of. 

Ignore traditions you do not enjoy

Some traditions can be fun and they may be what you both want which is fine. However, there are many couples that go along for the ride doing things and including things in their wedding that they do not want simply because it is tradition or it is what is expected of them.

This takes away from this being your big day. After all, the only thing that really matters for this occasion is that you get to celebrate your love and that you and your spouse enjoy the event. Therefore, if there is a normal thing that you are supposed to do but you don't really like, then don't do it. This is your tropical wedding to plan however you want. 

Delegate the less critical tasks

With a hundred moving pieces and a lot of things to remember it is far too much for any couple to do alone. Thankfully, your wedding planner will be taking care of most of it but even getting there, planning out the attire, and sorting out your playlist amongst other things can take up a lot of your time. 

To avoid losing perspective, choose the parts of the wedding that are most important to you and then start getting some help with the less important tasks to free up some of your time.

Stay the night before your wedding

The day of your wedding has a lot of preparations and getting ready. Adding travel into the equation would simply make it more complicated. However, if all you have to do is head to the bridal salon in the resort and get dressed then it makes it a lot easier because everything you need is in the same location. 

By enjoying a luxurious suite the night before the big day, you can also get a good night's sleep and wake up to bliss in a state of comfort and relaxation. 

Don't forget to have fun in the meantime

Remembering why you are getting married is extremely important throughout the planning process of your perfect wedding. This means that despite the time you spend together discussing plans and ideas for your big day, you also need to take time out of your week just to immerse yourselves in the romance and love that brought you to this point.

Keep enjoying yourselves every day leading up to your wedding. May these 7 tips help you both plan your tropical wedding in a pleasant way and have a wonderful time both before and after you celebrate your love in the Caribbean.
