Destination Weddings · Wedding Tip

Keep your wedding attire together at the destination

Know where the dress, shoes, veil, and personal details will be before preparations begin.

A wedding dress hangs beneath a row of colorful artwork.

Before you begin getting ready, make sure everything you plan to wear has reached the right room. At a destination wedding, clothing and accessories can be spread between family suites, a villa, and the wedding venue.

Give each handoff a name and a time

Check the dress, shoes, veil, jewelry, and meaningful personal items together. If someone is bringing something, confirm who has it, when it will arrive, and who will receive it. Keep each event’s outfit distinct if you are changing looks across the weekend.

I’ve seen a bride ready to get dressed while the person holding her dress was somewhere else. A check before the photography begins prevents an avoidable delay and gives the preparations room to feel relaxed.
