Destination weddings are magical—but let’s be honest, when planning a destination wedding they can also spark drama. Between family opinions, friends’ budgets, and traditions, brides often feel pulled in different directions.
Here’s how to strike a balance:
1. Set Expectations Early
Be clear about what you’re covering and what guests will pay for themselves. This avoids resentment later.
2. Respect Family Traditions—But Stay True to You
Maybe your parents want a religious ceremony while you prefer a beach setting. Find ways to compromise, like blending traditions.
3. Stop Comparing
Your best friend’s wedding may have been at a vineyard, but this is your story. Focus on what excites you as a couple.
4. Remember: It’s Your Day
It’s impossible to make everyone happy—but if you and your partner are smiling, the wedding is already a success.
💡 Bride Tip: Hire a professional to help manage family opinions. Sometimes having an outside voice smooths out tension.
