Today, we have #DestiChat withDesti Bride Ericka - a Riviera Maya, Mexico Desti!
Ericka was married on June 26, 2017 at Azul Fives Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico aannndddd she just so happens to be a wedding planner so she gives us alllll kinds of great advice in this one - …and I will say that I kinda wish that I would have had this Desti chat with Ericka BEFORE my destination wedding because she really shares things that I NEVER thought about - but she got married AFTER me - so that would’ve been plain impossible - BUT at least I can pass on the love to my Destis and Bridefriends!
In this episode, we discussed:
· Making the decision to have a destination wedding
· Dealing with people who may not be supportive of your decision to have a destination wedding
· Thinking outside the box for ways to save money while planning a destination wedding
· Packing tips for your destination wedding
· Honeymooning considerations when having a destination wedding
· And more!
Ericka’s interview + more photos are below!
Enjoy!
