5 Simple destination wedding decorating tips that will save you money & personalize your wedding

  1.  Draw inspiration from your geographic location, or the type of music you like to listen to. Example, if you live in an area that is country, or if you really like country music, you can ask your guests attending your destination wedding to wear or bring with them cowboy boots and/or a cowboy hat. You can then use these items as the ‘vessel’ for your table centerpieces.
  2. The destination itself can offer ‘free’ items for inspiration & you can enlist the help of family & guests and have them involved in the decorating process. A beach location offers a perfect setting for gathering seashells to place in candle holders for enhancing that beach feel, and after your wedding the shells can be returned back to where you gathered them from. Recycled & reused with no waste
  3. When selecting flowers for your ceremony and reception, choose ones that are local to the destination. This will save you money.
  4. What is your color scheme? Ask the ladies attending to bring a sheer scarf in your primary color. These can then be used as an overlay on your tables, or fashioned together as a table runner.
  5. Ask each guest to bring a small votive candle, these can be used to decorate your tables and provide the ambiance you are looking for.

What are your travel memories worth?

Posted on by Lucky n Love

What price are your travel memories worth? You can’t put a price tag on a great experience and cherished memories. A travel specialist provides you with more value and a personalized travel package just for you.

If you are shopping on price alone; how bad does a cheap trip have to be for it not to have been worth taking?

There are too many stories of the ‘great’ online travel deals, with a horrible ending! You book what appears to be the perfect resort, only to arrive and it is nothing like it was described to be. Everything you see on the internet is true, right?

I have personally visited the destinations and resorts that I recommend; I go, so you will know. Each destination and resort offer something different, and are not a “one size fits all.”

What is on your wish list? Are you in search or adventure? Looking for the most romantic spot? Want to go off the beaten path?

As your travel specialist, I will listen to you and make professional recommendations based on the experience you want and personalize your travel package.

Let’s work together to create your cherished travel memories.

Why You Need To Find A Good Travel Agent

Posted on by Lucky n Love

Now more than ever you need to find a good travel agent. Airline cancellations, hotel and resort closures, travel restrictions, and destination entry requirements vary.

There are numerous consumer complaints about online travel sites and their spotty record of customer service recently, and those that just closed up shop never to be heard from again. Past & current issues ranging from unspecified post-trip charges to credit cards, airline tickets being rebooked to the wrong destination after a schedule change, being bounced from one supplier to another to resolve a problem, and hotel reservations not on record when guests show up. Add to that long hold times and dropped calls when needing to talk to a human and a lack of response to questions and complaints.

There are numerous stories about how agents saved the day for their clients. Getting them where they needed to go, and then working to get their customers refunds and credits. This is the best reason to work with a good travel agent, advocacy. Travel advisors have relationships with those who make decisions. If something goes wrong you have someone to step in to help you.

People are getting fed up with their online travel experience. Google’s research shows it takes 32 visits to 10 websites just to book a single airline ticket. Don’t waste your time or money; find a travel advisor to work with.
