Palm Cove Wedding Calendar

Once you have made the decision to hold your wedding in Palm Cove Queensland Australia there are a couple of things that need to be addressed. First of all a budget needs to be prepared in order to help you make practical decisions. A rule of thumb for destination weddings is the size of your guest list will directly determine the size of your budget. The further you are traveling, the more travel costs so you will need to factor this into your budget keeping in mind that with the deregulation of the airlines there are always great special offers to be had at different times of the year and you will probably find your flights will be the cheapest component of the wedding if you sign up to the airlines SMS notifications.

Wedding Budget

Once you have mapped out your budget set out a realistic price range to allow for some necessary adjustments, establish a maximum budget threshold from which you can not go over; this will ward off lucrative impulse decisions. Keep in mind the budgets of other guests and realistically expect that not everyone will be able to attend, by giving different accommodation/dining options, holding your wedding in the shoulder season, booking early and making group bookings, helps to make your beach wedding more affordable for everyone. When planning a beach wedding in Palm Cove you may find that not even price will discourage guests from visiting this much sought after destination they will actually stay on and make it a family holiday its just so idealic.

Wedding Legal's

Another key point that needs to be considered when planning your beach wedding in Palm Cove is marriage requirements. For international guests you must lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage one month prior to your wedding date with your chosen wedding planner or celebrant; this can be faxed, emailed or mailed. Once you have arrived in Palm Cove you must show your celebrant your passport or birth certificate as well as any relevant Divorce Decree Absolute or Death Certificates from previous spouses. The Australian law states that you must be over the age of 18 and that two witnesses are present at the time of marriage; these can be arranged by your wedding planner or celebrant. Upon marriage you will be granted with a Presentation Certificate, it is advisable that you check with your country to see what documents are needed for your Palm Cove wedding to be recognized.

Wedding Arrangement Time Management

The following is a suggested timeframe for planning a stress-free tropical beach wedding in Palm Cove Queensland Australia. The larger the wedding party the more planning time is generally needed, we suggest that leaving one year for preparation will ensure a smooth and enjoyable timeframe leaving plenty of time for your family and friends to be able to save and plan to attend your beach wedding, finalise all of the little things like hair appointments, nail appointments, fun group tours and activities for your guests and smooth out any rough spots and have time to make important decisions that are too precious to be rushed. Of course impromptu weddings can also go off with out a hitch, and can be planned in as little as a month but it is advised that the more time spent planning will ensure a more enjoyable and memorable tropical wedding day for everyone involved.
