Our Barefoot Bride Rachel guest blogged once again and this time about her stay at in Punta Cana!
She had half of her guests stay at Secrets as it’s adults only and the other half at Dreams as it’s family friendly. You can have best of both worlds at these resorts if you wanted to be able to give your guests the option of staying at an adults only property!
She says it was one of the best all inclusive resort they’ve ever stayed at…. read more from her own words on the blog on our site! ✨

THIS is my why!
I know how stressful it is to plan a wedding, especially one from another country, and I know what would have been really nice to have when I was planning my wedding since my TA was.. let’s say, less than ideal.
And when I hear how grateful my brides are, it warms my heart and I am on cloud nine.
I can’t take all the credit here, though. Without our amazing Barefoot Team, I wouldn’t be able to respond as quickly to my brides while they help take care of so many of the little details you probably don’t even think about (that’s a LOT that goes into each and every group).
Of course, I would love to help you plan your destination wedding, but the most important thing is that you choose a travel agent that specializes in destination weddings that you vibe with, trust, and feel confident in her (or his) ability to take care of your wedding start to finish, seamlessly, and alleviating all that stress!
If you’re looking for an elevated experience that’ll allow you to sit back, relax, and truly enjoy this journey, schedule consultation with us, today! As a fee-free agency, we won’t even put financial stress on you! ☺️ Link in Bio to schedule! 💖✨

Getting ready attire may be just as important as the wedding dress. 👰🏻♀️
It’s not just about the dress that we wear down the aisle, it’s about the moments of preparation, the quiet reflections, the anticipation of the journey ahead. Your getting ready attire should embody grace, beauty, and the promise of a new beginning, making every moment leading up to ‘I Do’ just as enchanting as the main event itself!
This is your sign to go all out for that getting ready ‘fit! You deserve it! 🤍🫶🏼✨

As many of you are working on decor forms and getting your vision together, let us share another great money saving tip! We all know how expensive destination weddings can be and honestly there’s things that our budget must absolutely go towards.
The idea of having a Photo Booth at your wedding might sound like a no brainer because it’s just what you do but it may add to your costs.
Bringing your own Polaroid camera and guestbooks for guests to sign using the photos they took is such a fun and creative take on the Photo Booth alternative.
These weren’t my photos, but I too brought my own Polaroid camera and guestbook, and it was such a hit!
My guests loved it and I love looking back on those memories. I don’t regret not having a photo-booth at all.
If you’re torn - this is your sign to save your $$ and spend it where you really think it’s worth it!! 💖🙌🏻✨
Happy Planning! Hope this is helpful ✨

Let’s talk wedding invitations and stationary!
I absolutely loved the designing process of my invites, door hangers, welcome letter/itinerary, and my thank you cards!!
It was such a fun process for me but I also didn’t want to be bothered with doing it so I hired 💖✨
Quick tip that helped me save some $$ - instead of sending invitations to EVERYONE on my list - I only sent save the dates to everyone on our invite list - told them that their RSVP was putting a deposit down on their room and then I only sent those that booked a room an invitation. Saved me SO much money because we invited about 150 and only 75 including my husband and me ended up coming! 🙏🏼💖
Hope that helps you save some money on your special day! 💖
Let’s pause and soak in the magic of this stunning wedding decor, beautifully complementing this wonderful couple’s love story. ✨🫶🏼

Last week we talked about my (Diana) wedding day timeline and this week we’re diving into our owner’s wedding day (Sharon)
I thought it as absolute genius that she had her ceremony for sunrise and loved how different but mostly romantic it was. Punta Cana is known for its stunning sun rises, and she took full advantage of that.
Here’s your sign to think outside the box and gift yourself a day that’s going to light your soul on fire 🤩

If you’re a destination wedding bride on a budget you’ll want to listen here!!!! Tumblers these days are super expensive and weddings are already expensive as is. So here’s a super easy DIY way to create cute tumblers for your guests that they’ll love and won’t break the bank!! #brideonabudget #destinationwedding #diybride #weddingdestination #uniquewedding #weddingtips #weddingonabudget #weddingonthebeach #welcomebags
Room blocks at an all inclusive resort at a unique travel destination may seem a little scary! How many rooms should I reserve? What happens if I need more or less rooms than that? Will I have to pay for the rooms I don’t book? As a boutique travel agency made up of past destination wedding brides - we know exactly how you feel. & our goal is to make this travel/room block part of it as stress free as possible for you! One of the things that makes this process even more stress free is knowing that you’ve secured enough inventory for your guests! Always better to have more and release in the event the hotel sells out. Destination Weddings have a special place in our hearts and we love to chat about them and make yours a reality! Message us today with any room block questions you may have! 🤍✨ #destinationwedding #allinclusiveresort #allinclusive #uniqueweddings #uniquetravel #weddingdestination #allinclusiveweddings #destinationweddingtravelagent #destinationweddingtips
Let’s talk destination wedding welcome bags!!!! These are our top items for you to include in your welcome bags! Do them all, or some, but your guests will appreciate anything you do! The most popular items in mine were the tumblers and the tote bags that everyone used to carry around their belongings on the resort. Everyone did enjoy the hangover kit as well!! 🍹 Sharon had “couples favorites” in her bags and the guests loved it because of the sentimental feelings attached to them. Are you doing welcome bags? Or did you do them? If so, what items did your guests love?! #destinationwedding #welcomebags #welcomebag #travelsize #tumbler

Jumping back on the photography bandwagon because we believe it’s crucial! 📸✨ Here’s another vital tip: write down all the must-have shots you envision for your big day. Trust us, you’ll thank yourself later! 💭✍️ Don’t let those precious moments slip away. #BarefootBridal #BarefootVibes #DestinationWeddingPhotographer #DestinationWedding #photographyessentials
Destination Wedding Mistakes to avoid part 2/5 Continuing on with the photographer mistakes to avoid - Sharon brings up an excellent point! Do not make the mistake of choosing a lower hour photography package, especially if your timeline is quite long. If you want getting ready photos and also have your photographer capture party time - you’ll want to double check with them how long they think you’ll need. When in doubt choose more hours - you won’t regret it, but you will regret not having photos of special moments. At the end of the day photography is all you have left of your big day - every dollar spent is so worth it! 💖 #destinationwedding #destinationweddingtips #destinationweddingphotographer #destinationweddingplanner
I will never regret losing out on my deposit with the first photographer that I hired…. But I’m here to help you not make the same mistake I did because let’s be honest - weddings are expensive and we can’t afford to make these mistakes! Wedding photos are literally the only thing you’ll have left to reminisce on your big day. Make sure you’re going to be absolutely in love with them!! 💖 Did any of you do this as well? Switch vendors because you hired too quickly and lost your deposit? #destinationweddings #destinationweddingphotographer #carribeanwedding #puntacanawedding #beachwedding

As much as I’ve gushed before about my stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian, I’ve somehow not gushed enough. This is one of my favorite vacations of all time. Everything about this resort blew me away. Food? Delicious. Service? On point. Beach? Perfect. Sunsets? Well, this one off the pier was just beautiful. My favorite part? The pools don’t close! So after dinner, after the nightly entertainment, we went back to the room and changed back into swimsuits and hung out in the pool for several more hours. Most resorts pools close early (around 6pm or 7pm usually), so this was quite a treat. The beach is the absolute most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. The sand is soft, white, powdery perfection. The water is so clear and the most stunning shade of turquoise. If you’re looking for the absolute most beautiful beach, this is it. Is it romantic? Yes, perfect for a honeymoon! Is it good for groups? Absolutely! There’s a party pool and a quieter pool, both with swim-up bars, and lots of included activities on resort. It would make an excellent location for an adults-only destination wedding. And their Wedding Department is truly spectacular to work with! Check out the blog post on our site about my stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian and contact us for info on how to book your wedding or trip to a Sandals property, where it’s summer all year long! #sellsandalsandbeachescontest
