handle save the dates, travel info packets, invitations, and RSVPs on a destination wedding timeline.

It’s so easy to fall in love with a big, poufy silk ball gown for your wedding, but if you’re having a destination wedding, less is more. Before you start trying on wedding dresses, consider what kind of fabrics are most conducive to the weather. Consider organza instead of silk so that you don’t melt. Remember, if you feel miserably hot, you probably look miserable, too.

  In the heart of downtown Denver, the Brown Palace Hotel and Spa has stood as one of the most beautiful places to get married in the city, since 1892. With five different wedding venues in the hotel to choose from, brides and grooms can choose what suits their taste and style best. The historic hotel just finished a complete renovation of its rooms and facilities, and it couldn’t be lovelier!     Sandy Malone Weddings & Events www.SandyMaloneWeddings.com Weddings in Vieques www.WeddingsinVieques.com Podcast: http://www.iheart.com/show/27505307/ Twitter: @SandyMalone_ Facebook Sandy Malone and Sandy Malone Weddings & Events Instagram: SandyMaloneWeddings  

Sandy interviews Wedding Planner Erin Proctor at The Buccaneer Hotel in St. Croix, a popular Caribbean wedding destination that is also the first choice for a number of celebrities. Sandy’s excited she got to stay in the same suite of rooms where Michael Jackson stayed, but it’s not uncommon to run into Vice President Joe Biden on the scenic 18-hole golf course. Erin says every guest becomes a member of the Buccaneer family – which means every visitor is a VIP at The Buccaneer.

Sandy talks with DJ Paul Gonzalez-Chavez of Islands Entertainment Network about some of the nightmares they’ve dealt with when brides and groom (or more likely, a well-meaning friend or relative) want to add on extra hours to the party while the wedding reception is in progress. Sandy says if you couldn’t afford it before the wedding, you definitely can’t afford it at the 11th hour. Plus both Sandy and Paul agree that too many hours of open bar can turn a celebration into a catastrophe.

Sandy talks with DJ Paul Gonzalez-Chavez, of Island Entertainment Network, about why it’s important to give your wedding DJ a list of songs you’d rather not have played during your wedding reception so that you avoid any awkward or embarrassing moments. DJ Paul says there are about 100 songs that regularly appears on the “NO” list. And he says that the more guidance a bride and groom give their DJ, the more successful the reception will be.

For God's sake, don't tell your closest family and friends you're engaged via a tacky engagement ring pic on Facebook! There's a proper way to tell your parents, and extended family, that you're saying "I do." Sandy says it's also important to tell your boss about the engagement up front, so you can address any concerns about the wedding date you're planning.
