How To Plan A Destination Wedding

Planning a wedding is most certainly no easy job. It can be challenging, stressful and even overwhelming at times, and destination weddings can be even more tricky. Organising and arranging so many details for your big day from miles away, via email or phone, can be troublesome and frustrating. But should you let that put you off? Absolutely not. Having a destination wedding can be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. If you have always dreamed of marrying on a beautiful beach, atop a picturesque mountain or in a quaint European town, these tips from UAE-based destination wedding planners will help ensure putting together your big day goes without a hitch. From timing it just right, to picking the perfect venue and best vendors, Rock Your Wedding founder Liesel Papke and Encre d’Or co-founders Justine and Jessica Kokorian have got you covered.
