Juliet and Ike held their wedding reception in a big tent in Juliet’s father’s garden, with the entrance lined by bowers and lanterns. Tricia and Doug from Food Company Catering meticulously planned the entire experience, including croutons with the bride and groom’s initials seared onto them. The dance floor was packed and the food was absolutely scrumptious — just looking at the tray with macerated berries and Parisian-style filled macaroons makes your mouth water….

5 Wedding Gown Tips for a Destination Wedding:

A Destination Wedding no longer strictly means low key and casual. You can go as opulent and glam as you like on your big day on the beach or in the mountains. But here are some wedding gown tips that I would recommend following:

  1. Choose a gown that is packable or able to be stored easily on a plane or mode of transportation to your ultimate destination. You may choose to ship your gown, but that can be very risky unless you are certain of what awaits it on the receiving end.
  2. Consider the climate of your destination when choosing your gown. For a warm tropical climate consider humidity and insects. Certain fabrics don’t hold up well in humid climates and insects love to find a home in a tulle skirt!
  3. If you do chose a ball gown or full skirted dress, can the under layers of tulle or lining be removed during the reception to insure your maximum comfort and agility. You’ll have to consult your seamstress during your alterations on this one! Remember that removing underlayers will ultimately change the length of your gown, so you may need a different heel height for partying!
  4. Make certain that you inquire about someone at your destination who can help you on the ‘day of’ in terms of steaming, professionally ironing or repairing your gown should there be any mishaps. Just a FYI, unless your gown is made of plastic or lycra, I guarantee that some touch ups with an iron or steamer will be necessary especially if the gown has been transported in a box or tight garment bag.
  5. As with any wedding, choose a gown that ‘looks’ appropriate at your destination venue. Sheer, lightweight, organic fabrics and lace always look good in the tropics, gardens or vineyards. Heavier satins, velvets & brocades may be a better choice for a Winter Resort. Accessorize accordingly as well.

Have a lovely weekend!  We are so excited to be working a fabulous wedding with a great couple.  Details to be shared later of course…
