Why We Chose a Destination Wedding Real PROs & CONs

If you’re torn between a traditional local wedding or a destination wedding, this is your sign to watch! As a 2025 bride, I’m breaking down exactly why we chose a destination wedding in Jamaica, what it’s really costing us (spoiler: it’s under $15K 👀), and the unexpected pros + cons of planning from afar.

💍 This video kicks off my BRIDE SZN series where I’ll be sharing my real-time wedding planning journey, bridal bootcamp glow-up, bachelorette weekend prep, and more.

✨ Expect transparency, budgeting tips, emotional honesty, and advice you won’t get on TikTok.
