How to Plan a Stress-Free Destination Wedding

Planning a wedding in another country may seem overwhelming, but with the right steps, it can be smooth and exciting. Start by setting your wedding date early so you have plenty of time to choose a resort and send invites. Most couples plan at least 12 to 18 months ahead for the best selection.

Make sure you know the legal requirements for your chosen destination. Every country is different — some need specific documents, waiting periods, or translations. Light Travels can help you understand and prepare everything you need so there are no last-minute surprises.

Once your date and location are set, your resort wedding coordinator becomes your best partner. They handle details like décor, menus, and ceremony setups so you can relax and enjoy the process. With expert guidance, planning your dream wedding from afar becomes easy and stress-free.
