A real life destination wedding in Spain

Christie Buet tells Vow's and Venues all about her magnificent destination wedding on the beautiful island of Mallorca located off the east coast of mainland Spain.

From the very moment we got engaged we knew we wanted a destination wedding. Gary and I both wanted our wedding day to represent who we were and what our relationship symbolised. We wanted our love of travel and our desire to embrace other cultures to shine through and it really set the tone for what was truly the best day of our lives. The feeling of being married somewhere so unbelievably beautiful and picturesque can’t be described, but it truly added a completely extra layer of magic and gratitude to our wedding day.

DO invest in an industrial deodorant! And try it out in the weeks leading up to your wedding to ensure it works for you and your skin type. Look out for key words on deodorants like ‘stress control’ or ‘sports strength’.

Getting healthy for your wedding day

As the big day is getting closer, you're as organised as you can be and all the main things are booked and ticked off. Now is the time to start thinking about yourself, in particular getting healthy. On the day of your wedding all eyes will be on you, so you will want to look your best.

Looking for that perfect wedding gift

You've had the invite pinned up on the fridge for months on end, and now as the date fast approaches for your friends/family member’s wedding, it's time to put your thinking cap on and decide on what wedding gift you will get for the bride and groom. Wine glasses, photo frame, department store voucher? The list can sometimes seem endless when you’re thinking of ideas, or maybe you don't even know where to start. Many couples these days already live together so already have many of the items you might have thought of buying a newly married couple once upon a time.

Do you dream of your wedding on a golden beach?

With air travel being open to everyone these days, you don't need to stay close to home for your wedding. Many couples spread their wings for their big day and travel 1000's of miles. Whether the destination be a golden beach or a snow filled mountain top, destination weddings are more popular than ever.
