Biggest Destination Wedding Stress factor - what's yours?

It's funny I was totally in love with the cornflower blue before I even started planning a destination wedding. Then I thought it might be too much blue but I saw some pictures on google and I actually liked how it looked so I decided to go with it anyway. How about having the white flowers and a few colored flowers that match or go well with your colors? I think at the end of the day the colors for the whole thing are more important than the bouquet so I'd probably try to work the bouquet around my colors, if that makes any sense, but I don't know if it's the same for you. I just think the color of the bouquet will be much more easily forgotten than the feel that colors give to a wedding. For example, a black, white and hot pink wedding has a different feel than one in pastel colors.

 

Yea I've seen some beach ceremonies with teal chair sashes and it wasn't too bad I suppose lol. Yea I'll try to contact the florist and see if that's a possibility or to get rid of the red flowers and put orange/peach ones in there. I found some inspiration on Pinterest and I'm kind of in love with these colors now. I'm on my phone so I don't know if you'll be able to see this picture but I'll post it anyway. I posted it in another thread somewhere about wedding colors I think last night from home. post-278186-140595313825_thumb.jpg

You nailed it there - you need to stop trying to please everyone. Trust me, YOU CAN'T!!!!!  (In the beginning when I was doing more of that - I would run in the direction of one suggestion only for t

Biggest stressor is that we are asking our guests (and bridal party) to spend so much money on our wedding by attending. I feel guilty- but know I need to drop it and not worry: those who can make it

My biggest stressor is getting people to book, I mean to actually secure their room and flight.

 

Getting people to RSVP has been fine, it's booking that is so complicated. My TA is always going one million miles an hour and he drives me crazy.

 

I would PAY someone to get everyone to book, it literally keeps me up at night.

 

This forum has totally been my saving grace and would absolutely be my one piece of advice for a destination wedding, you girls are the BEST!

I know this is a late post, but this pretty much sums it up for me. Getting people to not only commit, but to purchase and book. I feel responsible for trying to facilitate everyones travel arrangements, but I know deep down I am not. But because for me it is so important I want everything done YESTERDAY! Once I know they are booked I can relax and plan for the rest of the details!  

 

Of course I have til Feb next year, but I don't want people to miss out (and me miss out on them)because they waited too long to book.....

My biggest stressor so far was/ is getting ppl to book. It seems ppl don't want to pay to go (which in a sense is understandable). It's just a bit frustrating because I'm the type of person who is there for everyone else.

I know how you feel. Were a month out from our deadline and no one has booked yet . I'm the same way! You send me an invitation saying: you need to RSVP, or you need to put down $150 and boom! Done. I'm starting to get a little desperate that no one will book and it will just be us haha. I know this is totally irrational but I just feel that everything will fall into place when we know how many people will be there

I have had a few ...  

 

1. picking the resort

 

2. getting people to RSVP - and pay!!   My deadline just passed and people (even my dad!) waited until the last day. At one point I assumed it would just be the 4 of us (me, fiance, and 2 kids).

 

3. Air Canada cancelling our flight and patiently awaiting the new one that won't mess with our wedding day

@@TinkerSofi, so did people end up booking very last minute? I am worried about this too

They sure are! So far it's only us, my family (parents and brother) and a couple of family friends. Our deadline is Aug 25, although I told everyone the 19th just in case. It's stressing me out really badly but I honestly can't harass people anymore than I have :(. I have a feeling everyone will pay on the 19th.

Mine waited until the bitter end. We sent a reminder email out and they still waited until the bitter end. Thankfully our due date was a bit before ACs due date so the slackers didn't miss out. We got most paid in the last one or two days.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
