Top Tips for Customizing your Destination Wedding

If you are planning a destination wedding but are worried your wedding will be too cookie-cutter, have no fear! Customizing the many packages, venues, and included amenities will help you plan the perfect destination wedding for your love story! All-inclusive resort wedding packages are fully customizable. Discover our best tips for how to personalize your wedding.

Resort Package Basics

I recommend choosing the resort first and the wedding package next because wedding packages do not vary much from resort to resort. From there, decide if you prefer the complimentary wedding package and building from there or one of the pre-designed themed packages. Both package options are customizable.

Many complimentary wedding packages include the basics of what you need for a wedding (ceremony structure, officiant, chairs, cake, etc.) From there, customize with a la carte decor and add-ons.

Add items a la carte

Beginning with the basic package means you have a blank slate to work with to create your dream wedding. All-inclusive resorts offer endless options for you to add your personal touch to your ceremony or reception. From unique bridal bouquets to centerpieces to late-night food stations and entertainment – the sky’s the limit!

Customize Resort Packages

Themed wedding packages vary in style and price. One of these themes will likely be close to your wedding vision and will provide a common motif through your decor, place setting, chairs, and ceremony amenities. Themed packages are customizable too. Change the colors, and decor and add elements you love, like a signature drink, entertainment options, and more! A word of caution, there may be limits to substitutions, so be sure to ask first.

Mix Up the Venue

A unique ceremony or reception venue can make your wedding stand out. Think beyond the beach as a venue option. A cenote, garden, or rooftop terrace will add that pop of customization.

Ask About More Custom Options

Just because it’s not on paper doesn’t mean the resort can’t do it! If you see something on Pinterest that catches your eye, send a picture of it to your resort wedding coordinator. Don’t be afraid to ask them for ideas too. The wedding designers are up to date on popular wedding looks and will ensure your wedding is modern and stunning.
