WEDDINGS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

There is no set way to plan a wedding

nowadays. Some people choose to wait a few

years after getting engaged, some people

skip out on being engaged for long all

together. If you’re planning a wedding with

limited time, here’s a guide for you on how

to plan efficiently.

1.HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER

Planning a wedding is a lot of

work. It truly can be a full time

job which is why there are so many

people who have made it a career.

Your wedding planner can take

care of things the day of or every

detail within the planning. They

are ones in charge of your vendors,

scheduling or even design for your

décor. Karma Crew offers

wedding planning services for your

big day at sea.

2.FIND A UNIQUE VENUE

Try out a yacht

charter for your

wedding. Karma

Crew Yacht Charters

offers an all inclusive

wedding package for

38 people for only

$15,000.

3.KEEP IT SIMPLE

The more details you need to incorporate into

your wedding, the more time consuming it is to

plan your day. Keeping it simple will cut down

on time and expenses.

4. STRATEGIC GUEST LIST

By keeping your guest

list smaller, there will

be less people to worry

about on your big day.

Maybe plan a bigger,

relaxed party following

your wedding, like a

back yard BBQ or pot

luck.

5. THE ATTIRE

With a limited time to plan, it’s best if

you can select bridesmaid dresses that

are from a local store that doesn’t have

to order them for you. Ordering

dresses from most bridal stores can

take months before they come in and

then lots of time for alterations. Try a

local store or have you bridesmaids

pick their own with guide lines (all the

same color tone, all the same length,

style etc). For men, they can usually

rent tuxes within a month from the big

day with no issues.

6.UNEXPECTED CATERING

Wedding specific caterers book up well in advance but there are plenty of

options. Have a friend who is a good cook do the catering for you, make

it a potluck wedding, or bring in something a little different like a

professional BBQ, food truck or mobile bar handle the catering. Karma

Crew also provides catering on board their yacht for special events.

7.FRIENDLY OFFICIANT

If you have a friend willing

to do so and your state

allows it, a person can get

licensed for a day to

officiate your wedding.

This is fun and

inexpensive. Our Captain

can also officiate your

wedding on a Karma Crew

Yacht Wedding!

8.FUN FLOWERS

Pick up flowers from a local

florist, using flowers in season.

In season flowers are

available immediately and are

the least expensive. Plus, no

one ever said your bouquets

and centerpieces have to be

flowers. Try a fun alternative,

like feathers, fabric, or even

fruits and vegetables! Veggie Bouquet from Samantha Leigh Photography and Floral Design

9.#PHOTOGRAPHY

Use a recommended

photographer from your

venue. They will already be

familiar with the venue

location and know where to

take best photos, like Karma

Crew’s Photographer

Christian Pleva Images. You

can also use a hashtag for

instagram.

10.EZ BAKE CAKE

If you know what kind of cake

you like already, why not just

order it from your favorite

bakery or buy a plain white

cake from your local

supermarket or bakery and put

some flowers and a topper on.

Or try something different, like

cake pops or cookies!
