When it comes to destination weddings, there are two types of brides: the ones who only dream of celebrating the big day in a sun-drenched locale away from it all… and those who actually had one! If planning an out-of-town nuptials sounds like too much work, Apple Vacations might just sway you towards the sunny side.

Imagine celebrating your love in a romantic ceremony set in the beautiful Runaway Bay of Jamaica or on a tranquil island in the Dominican Republic without having to fuss over travel arrangements and minute details of the day’s events. Sounds like your kind of wedding? Well, together with the wedding and honeymoon experts at Apple Vacations, we present these simple steps on how to make a stylish and hassle-free destination wedding a reality.

Determine The Perfect Destination for Your Wedding

The most fun part of planning a destination wedding is deciding where to hold your bash. For luxurious weddings in the Caribbean, there’s Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts.

The Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts is a collection of all-inclusive, family and adults-only resorts that feature outstanding service and world-class amenities in some of the most stunning tropical destinations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Riviera Maya, Mexico. Weddings By Bahia Principe are bridal packages specially tailored by Apple Vacations to take advantage the stunning setting offered by Bahia Principe Resorts for the ultimate destination wedding experience.

Decide on The Wedding Theme

Once you’ve decided on the destination, it’s time to think of your wedding theme! Would you like to incorporate the local flavor of your selected destination or do you and your partner have a specific cultural practice to observe? If you’re saying your I do’s with Apple Vacations, they will put you in touch with an experienced wedding planner who will coordinate the details of the day of your dreams. Simple, huh?

The Wedding Dress and Bridal Party Details

With the nitty gritty of the wedding planning out of the way, you can concentrate on one of the biggest details of your wedding — the dress! While soft, lightweight wedding dresses are perfect for a beachfront ceremony, there really isn’t a set “destination wedding style”! Let your theme (and destination!) inspire your wedding day look. In this post we’ve included three gorgeous wedding mood boards, inspired by three exquisite Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts.

Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado, Don Pablo Collection, a resort located on its own tropical island, inspired our first style board, “Island Vibes” (shown above). Located in the Samana province of the Dominican Republic, the clear waters and white sand beach of this destination lend themselves well to a vibrant blue and turquoise bridal palette.

Surrounded by a lush tropical forest, with access to the 18-hole Maya Riviera Golf Club, Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka’an, Don Pablo Collection is beautiful juxtaposition between modern beauty and natural wonder. The resort’s gorgeous flora and fauna inspired our “Tropical Luxury” wedding board (below), which features nature-inspired accessories and bridesmaid dresses with floral prints.

Luxury Bahía Principe Runaway Bay, Don Pablo Collection is nestled in one of the most stunning natural sanctuaries in Jamaica. The beachfront colonial-style retreat presents the perfect opportunity for a romantic seaside soiree. Blush, rose gold and soft, sandy tones with pops of a deeper hue (in the “Seaside Romance” inspiration board, shown below, we went with a luscious violet shade) would look great in this setting.

Finalize The Guest List and Send out Save the Dates

Once you've settled on your wedding day style, the other big thing you'll need to do is to decide on who will be on your guest list. To sweeten the experience, Apple Vacation has a Group-Ease program that offers promo-code discounts and incentives for group bookings of a minimum of 10 rooms.

Remember, when you are set on a destination wedding, it’s important to allow your guests enough time to make their own arrangements to attend your nuptials. Try to send out save the date cards at least six months in advance to ensure that they’ll have ample time to do things like saving up and arranging days off work.

Enjoy Your Time in the Sun
