Stress-Free Destination Wedding with Plan

Stress-Free Destination Wedding with Plan

The better way to start your wedding than by saying, “I do” on a white sand beach with the waves in the background, or cuddled up in that cozy lodge where you two spent your first vacation together, or somewhere completely new that you have always dreamed of traveling to?Weddings Destination are so special yet planning it from a distance can be stressfull. This are  some tips to plan perfect destination wedding.

Love your Location.
The most important part of a destination wedding is...you guessed it...the destination! Pick somewhere that feels special to you, no matter what that location may be. Whether it is a couple hours away from your home or across the world make sure you feel passionate about it. When picking the location, consider the kind of weather that is expected during the time of your wedding. Is it rainy? Sunny? Cold? This weather doesn’t mean you need to change your location, but make sure you plan around it. If the area is prone to rain make sure you have a plan in place and a tent on hold to avoid any last minute stress.

Expect some no’s.
Destination weddings tend to be smaller and more intimate due to the traveling involved. As you are planning your wedding and making your guest list, understand that there is a chance that some of your friends and family may not be able to attend. Make sure that your bridal party and most important guests know the destination well in advanced so they can plan accordingly. Chances are, however, if you offer your guests an excuse to take an amazing vacation somewhere unique, they will be there to share your special day.

Hire help.
I cannot stress this point enough. Planning a local wedding is hard enough so imagine trying to plan a wedding from a distance. Doing your own research, finding reliable vendors in a different city, state, or country, and booking venues that you have never seen is a full time job. Choose someone who has experience in planning destination weddings or find someone through the hotel you are looking to stay at. Not only will this planner book everything you need, but they will also ensure that your guests are comfortable the weekend of, providing gift bags and accommodating all of their needs.

Start now:
Destination weddings are magical, special, unique.... and possibly stressful if you do not start planning early. This is not an event that you can plan last minute. Things need to happen early. Give your guests plenty of time to book flights and give yourself plenty of time to take at least one trip to your destination to plan.

Everything You Need To Know To Get Married At An Italian Villa

Everything You Need To Know To Get Married At An Italian Villa

Let’s go over some key characteristics that will help you differentiate and decide which villa is right for you!

Exclusive-Use Rentals: Privately Owned And Operated As A Hotel

Many of Italy’s villas operate as hotels and require exclusive-use buyouts for the duration of your wedding. This is a good thing! It means no other guests will be staying at the property, and no other events will be taking place during your stay. Whereas at a hotel you may have to endure some less-than-savory experiences—other guests peeking or blatantly staring at your ceremony, sharing amenities such as the pool and spa with strangers, lack of privacy and space for rehearsal dinner and morning-after brunch, running the risk of compromising service and attention—with an exclusive-use villa, you’ll have the place, and staff, all to yourself.

Think having the kitchen open 24 hours—snacks included!—or having the chef available to whip up special requests on-call; sound amazing? It’s possible at an Italian villa. Want to have a pool party at any time of the day or night? Go for it! When all of the guests are your friends, no one else will be around to frown or complain about the noise. Want to leave your doors unlocked so that you can wander in and out of each other’s rooms? No problem when the space is yours and yours alone. You won’t be interrupted during a photoshoot either: You, your photographer and your guests have free run of the grounds and can snap away anywhere at anytime—no one will be asked to move or keep to a designated room or terrace.

Exclusive-use rentals can be priced anywhere from $7,000 a day, with a two to three-day minimum, to $22,000 a day. Remember, guests can still pay for their own rooms—which will lessen the sting of the price for you—and you’ll provide an exclusive experience they’ll be talking about for years to come. If you need a recommendation, one of my absolute favorite venues is the extremely luxurious Villa Cora in Florence. Resplendent with art and frescos and lavish textiles, every part of this magnificent estate is magical, and the service is top notch.

Privately Owned Villas With Accommodations:

Think of a privately owned villa like a super-upscale Airbnb. It’s owned by a private person or company and can be rented out for events, but you’ll have to bring in all the of the necessary service providers (think: catering—including chef and servers—rentals, bar staff, set-up/take-down crew, lighting etc.) All services—breakfast, room cleaning etc.—need to be arranged for as well; the villa’s owner or management will certainly assist in making the arrangements.

The villa may have a minimum number of required nights—likely two to three—and the number of guests a villa can accommodate varies depending on the size and location of the property. Some villas may sleep 16 to 20, while others may accommodate more. Here’s the best part about renting a villa that allows you and your guests to spend the night: You’ll feel right at home on your very own estate—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Privately Owned Villas Without Accommodations: 


If you’re renting the space for the day of your wedding only, you’ll need to find accommodations for your guests nearby and provide transportation to and from the ceremony site. You’ll have exclusive use of the entire property for the day, but you’ll have to depart at the end of the night—before you turn into pumpkins!

Do Women Dream the same as Men?

Do Women Dream the same as Men?

According to various research sources, women usually dream more often than men and can remember them more easily. If a woman is woken up during sleep, 95% of them can tell the storyline of their dreams, whilst around 80% of men can. What’s more, women’s dreams seem to be twice as long as men’s.


Women tend to dream about people they know

Research also shows that women tend to dream about people they know, male or female, and the setting is usually indoors and familiar. That’s why a typical woman’s dream would take place inside her home or workplace and involve family or friends that she interacts with on a regular basis.


Men tend to dream about strangers

Men’s dreams, on the other hand, are usually set outdoors and are generally centered around male characters that are more often than not unfamiliar. The action in these dreams usually involves other males demonstrating an aggressive attitude against the dreamer. So on the whole, men’s dreams are not quite as sweet as the female variety.


Hostile dreams v harmonious ones

While men’s dreams seem more hostile, featuring competition with other men, women are more likely to dream about harmonious relationships with individuals of both sexes. Curiously though, although men are more likely to dream of physical aggression, women are often more likely to dream of verbal aggression.

Studies by the University of the West of England in Bristol also discovered that women have more nightmares than men. During 5 years, volunteers were asked to write down whether they had nightmares during their sleep. A small 19% of men reported nightmares, compared to 34% of women.


Our dreams are as different as we are

None of this should come as a huge surprise though. Men and women are biologically different, emotionally different and psychologically different, so it stands to reason our dreams – and our nightmares – are going to be different too.

Taking all this into account, we also have to be careful not to generalise too much and form gender-based stereotypes about dreaming. The truth is that each of us has different degrees of masculine and feminine traits. This means quite simply that people can dream similarly or differently, regardless of gender identity.

So next time you have a dream that’s vivid and memorable, make sure you tell your partner all about it and compare notes.
