Five Important Things You Need for Destination Weddings

By CAA Saskatchewan

Planning a destination wedding can be thrilling but also overwhelming. It’s hard to keep track of everything you need, so we are here to help. Let’s review some of the things you will want to remember to get hitched without a hitch! 

Hair Products 

The hairstyle of your dreams that works great here in Saskatchewan has no hope in a tropical destination if you aren’t prepared for the different weather! Humidity, torrential rain, searing heat—extreme weather is always possible when you visit a new place. Make sure your hair is prepared to stand up to the challenge and hold it together when the big day comes! 

Your Fave Moisturizer 

Just like your hair, your skin could be impacted by the change in weather and the time leading up to your wedding is not when you want to be testing new products! Make sure you have your tried-and-true faves on hand in case your skin decides to introduce unwelcome guests into the picture.

Gifts 

Your parents, your wedding party, your officiant…whoever you want to treat to a little gift, you’ll want to make sure this is not left off your list! Here’s an idea: why not pick up a small memento of your time at the destination? Whether it’s adding a keychain to a gift basket, collecting sand in a glass jar branded with your initials, or splurging on something at the local souvenir shops, this will help them to look back fondly on the time spent celebrating your love! 

Strapless Swimwear 

Picture this: you’ve been so careful throughout your engagement at home to avoid tan lines, but the week of your wedding, you’re relaxing on the beach at your venue and it happens…your swimsuit leaves you with lines that don’t match your dress. Strapless is the way to go if you want to avoid tan lines at all, but make sure you are at least matching whatever neckline or sleeves your dress has! 

Well-Equipped Carry-On 

Airlines are busy, and there is a lot of luggage to keep track of. The week of your wedding is not the time to be stressed about losing your dress or anything else that’s crucial to the day! If you can, bring the largest carry-on your airline will allow and pack all the items you need for sure on the day. If it can’t be easily replaced in a pinch, keep it in sight throughout the journey! Dresses can be steamed, but they can’t be re-purchased with only a few day’s notice.  

While you’re at it, see if your wedding party or family members will help you by taking anything that you can’t fit yourself. They are there for you and will probably be happy to lessen your stress however they can. If you or your loved ones need great new luggage, don’t forget that CAA Saskatchewan stores have some of the best brands in stock! 

 

While there is much more to keep in mind when you decide to have your big day far from home, this list includes some key tips to ensure you have a wedding that’s all bless and no stress!
