Living up to the hype as a world class beach
destination, Boracay recently bagged the top spot in the prestigious Top 10
Island Destination in 2012 by Travel + Leisure, besting other popular get-away
destinations like Bali, Galapagos, Santorini, Sicily, and the best Hawaii has
to offer. No wonder many couples around the world choose a Boracay wedding venue.
But is it possible that such an award-winning,
heaven-on-earth kind of a destination have its own weak spot that can turn a
dream wedding into a terrible disaster?
Here are some disasters in a Boracay
wedding venue that couples should avoid.
When it rains, it pours. Make sure
your wedding date does not fall on a rainy season. And if a storm is brewing on a summer
weekend, pray! There is nothing more disastrous
than a windy storm or that unpredictable monsoon rain bashing at your beach
wedding.
Choosing the wrong venue. Boracay
is known for award-winning hotels and the best in everything that the
hospitality business has to offer. But
not all hotels in Boracay can live up to that. A wrong venue can give you a
beachfront overpopulated with uninvited guests and studded with rocks, fallen
tree branches, and occasional trash, instead of its pristine, powdery, white
sand beaches.
Incompetent suppliers. Success
is in the details. Everything has to be
perfect, from your hair and make-up to the floral arrangement and all the other
small details that make up a perfect wedding.
Make sure your suppliers are easy to deal with and have the experience
to carry out what you want.
Wrong attire for the perfect venue. It is surprising how some people manage to
dress to impress but still look awkward.
Stilettos on a beach? Inform your guests where exactly your wedding will
be held and what dress is appropriate.
Missing wedding supplies. With all
the preparations and excitement, someone could forget important items needed
for the wedding. Make sure you don’t get
anything left behind before you leave for Boracay, and make sure it’s not the
wedding ring.
Make sure you prepare and have everything
covered. When everything is done, sit
back, relax, and enjoy your wedding.
Best wishes!
