Top 10 Last-Minute Tips for June Brides Planning a Destination Wedding

Planning a destination wedding in June? You're not alone. It's one of the most popular months to tie the knot. But even the most organized bride can feel the crunch in the final weeks leading up to the big day. Whether you're days or a few weeks away from boarding the plane, here are the top 10 last-minute destination wedding tips every June bride should know.

And yes, having a luxury travel advisor (like me!) in your corner makes all the difference when time is tight and details matter.

1. Reconfirm every single vendor

Reach out to each vendor at your destination (florist, photographer, officiant, caterer, etc.) to confirm the time, location, and point of contact. Things move fast during peak season. Double confirmation avoids last-minute surprises.

2. Print and pack a master wedding folder

Even in the digital age, print out contracts, timelines, seating charts, and contact info. Keep it in a waterproof travel folder and carry it with you on the plane. Wi-Fi can be unpredictable, and having everything on hand will save time and stress.

3. Prep for the weather (for real)

June weather can be unpredictable depending on the region. Pack extras: mini fans, umbrellas, blotting sheets, extra water bottles, and backup footwear. Even if the forecast looks clear now, don’t leave this to chance.

4. Final dress fitting? Pack a mini emergency kit

Sewing kit, fashion tape, stain remover pens, extra earrings, flat shoes, and safety pins. Pack these in your carry-on with your dress. Better yet, have your travel advisor arrange for a local bridal stylist at the destination, just in case.

5. Alert your hotel and resort of VIP guests

Let your resort or planner know if you have older guests, kids, or anyone needing extra assistance. A quick heads-up means the hotel can place them in ideal rooms and offer small touches that make their stay more comfortable.

6. Schedule a final guest count check-in

Guests sometimes change plans last minute. Have a final RSVP deadline and reconfirm your headcount with the caterer and venue about one week out. If you're working with a travel advisor, they’ll coordinate this for you -- definitely a lifesaver!

7. Bring physical copies of travel documents

Make multiple copies of passports, ID, travel insurance, marriage license requirements, and reservation confirmations. Keep digital backups in your email or cloud, but always have one printed set just in case.

8. Plan for downtime (yes, even last-minute)

Your wedding isn’t a 24/7 event. Block off some couple-only time: a spa visit, a quiet brunch, or a beach walk. Ask your advisor to schedule something simple and relaxing between events to help you stay grounded.

9. Assign a go-to person for guest questions

Appoint a sibling, bestie, or wedding planner to be the point of contact for guests once you arrive. You don’t want to be fielding “Where’s the shuttle?” texts in your robe on wedding morning.

10. Use a luxury travel advisor to handle the rest
