RECAP OF MY DESTINATION WEDDING MISTAKES:

Follow me on IG + join the DESTILOVERS Community to be immediately notified!

I WAS TOO HONEST

I WAS TOO EMOTIONAL

I WASN’T READY FOR PLAN B

WE MISSED A CONTRACT DETAIL

WE SHOULD’VE PAID CLOSER ATTENTION TO GUEST LIST

OUR BUDGET GOT OUT OF CONTROL

WE REALLY MISS 1 IMPORTANT PHOTO

I PHYSICALLY FORGOT MYSELF

I NEGLECTED AN IMPORTANT OUTFIT

WE SHOULD’VE PREPPED WELCOME GIFTS

I WASN’T FLEXIBLE ENOUGH

WE UNDERESTIMATED TIME

I OVERPACKED

WE DIDN’T MEET ALL VENDORS

THE VIBE NEEDED MORE ATTENTION

So that’s it!
I hope my destination wedding planning mistakes were helpful for you! I would never want to deter you from having a destination wedding - so know that wasn’t my intention.

Thanks for hangin’ out with me!

Again, drop any questions or video ideas in the comments. And while you’re at it introduce yourself gimme that #IMADESTI and let me know when and where you’re getting married!

Thanks so much for watching!

xx, Omi 💕

Thank you so much for this episode 🙏🏾 I am about 130 days out from my wedding right now(😱😁trying not to loose my mind) and this video was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Always right on time Mrs. Omi! Thank you

Hi! My name is Kiyome! We are hopefully getting married in the Carribean in December, 2022. Kind of having a hard time planning, but I've talked to a couple of travel agents and I hope to choose one soon that meshes our personalities really well. We are wanting to get married in a more small and intimate resort because we aren't super social and don't love the idea of people walking around during the ceremony. We are also a pretty intimate couple and aren't inviting a lot of people, so we want that to be our vibe. I hope it all comes together nicely!

Hi!! I've been looking through your videos trying to find which wedding website company you used but I don't see it? Would you mind telling me which one?

Love this video, Getting married in Jamaica late 2021
