DIY dares you to dream

For anyone on the hunt, find comfort in knowing the perfect wedding dress is out there, but it can take some time (and dedication) to find it. Just as you would when planning your destination wedding, we recommend consulting the fashion experts. Enter Wedding Vacations by Sunwing magazine’s exclusive bridal retailer, the ever-so-fabulous Montreal bridal boutique DIY, which effortlessly blends contemporary styles with the essence of paradise for every bride. Take it from Bianca Calascione, a member of the Sunwing family, whose own search for the dress can be found within, in addition to dreamy DIY designer dresses that you’ll love for your nuptials in any tropical venue.

The most Suetable wedding bling

The decadence is in the details, and that’s truer than ever when it comes to wedding accessories. Included in this year’s issue is a stunning feature on Canadian-owned jewelry brand Suetables which offers delicate, minimalist pieces that wedding couples can mix and match for a truly unique look on their big day. We were thrilled to connect with founder Sue Henderson who shares her advice on materials best suited for warmer climates, how to personalize your stack, and how to style your wedding bands and other accessories in everyday looks. Best yet, though a specific unisex line is available, all Suetables pieces are designed with inclusivity in mind!

Make your own movie magic

Call it a guilty pleasure but, in one way or another, we’ve all had the urge to be a little Hollywood and with your sights set on a destination wedding, we’re sharing how you can recreate some of our favourite celebrity weddings from this past year. From customizable altars and musical accompaniment at Royalton Bavaro An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort and Casino to exclusive packages like the Indulgence Wedding Collection at Riu Palace Aruba (which includes a six-hour secluded event and private cocktail party), our Wedding Consultants will roll out the red carpet and have you feeling like a million bucks while staying within your budget.

“Groom”ing tips and tricks

The idea that a wedding is reserved as a bride’s special day is so passé. Grooms deserve to be primped and pampered too, and the Spa team at Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort have something to say with tried-and-true tips and tricks to get the man of the hour wedding day ready! From skin care routines to hair and beard styling products, mapping out your timelines and resort-offered services at Royalton Luxury Resorts’ first ever on-site barber shop, you’ll not only be fit to grace the cover of a magazine, but your soon-to-be forever partner will be falling in love all over again.

The post “I do” rendezvous

The big day has come and gone, and now it’s just the two of you. Why not spend your remaining days in paradise getting a jump on an early honeymoon? NexusTours offers a fantastic selection of immersive, action-packed excursions in top honeymoon destinations throughout the tropics and our magazine dives into a few of our favourites that are tailor made for two. With so many unforgettable experiences to choose from, have you thought about swimming through the largest partially flooded tavern, taking a journey through history and culture or riding the waves to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean? We certainly have!
