'Tis the Season - Start planning!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone! This has been a very interesting year for most of us!

Having had the opportunity to visit both the Philippine Islands and the Mexican Riviera in one year was a highlight for me. Due to these trips, I'm now ready to assist all you brides, who are looking at destination weddings, plan your weddings.

This doesn't mean that you necessarily have to do your destination weddings at these locations, but anywhere in the world. I go about the planning process the same way I would if you were getting married locally. By the way, Colorado is a beautiful place for destination weddings as well!

Imagine having your wedding on a roof top in Cancun or in this beautiful gazebo that over looks the Caribbean Ocean! Having a buffet with the centerpiece roses made from veggies? If having a Christmas time wedding, get original and have your cake made in the shape of a ginger-bread house.

Destination weddings can not only be romantic for just the two of you, but a wonderful experience for your family and friends.

It's been my experience that the resorts, hotels etc are very capable and eager to help make your day special. Of course, having your local coordinator as the main contact, can make everything much easier and you'll be assured that on your wedding day, you have no worries!

Get your vendors booked now! If you wait to long, you are going to miss out on the ones you want to be part of the team.

Do take time to enjoy the holidays, no matter how you celebrate. Give thanks for all you've been given this year.

Again, wishing you all Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays!
