Planning a wedding is challenging, and organizing it in a different city or country adds another layer of complexity. In this digital age, connecting across the world is easier than ever. Let me share some tips to help you plan your dream wedding in Montreal, Canada.
Connect Virtually with a Local Planner
Finding a planner comfortable with video chatting is crucial. Face-to-face conversations enhance understanding and build a stronger connection. Opt for personal interactions over emails for smoother communication. A wedding planner specializing in destination weddings can bridge language and cultural gaps. Their local expertise ensures a smoother planning process. We offer a fully integrated online service. You can take an appointment, meet with us, see our planning progress and share documents with us all online.
Consider the Montreal Climate
Montreal experiences diverse weather. Be mindful of the seasons: Summer (June to August) and Winter (December to February). Plan your wedding during the season that aligns with your preferences and be ready for Montreal's magical winter wonderland.
Relax and Embrace Local Time
In a city like Montreal, cultural differences might affect the perception of time. Allow a vendor's relaxed attitude to coexist with competence. Schedule regular check-ins and add a time cushion to your timeline to avoid unnecessary stress.
Notify Guests in Advance Give your guests ample time to prepare for the journey to Montreal. Some may consider it a grand adventure, so early notice helps them plan and budget accordingly.
Visit the Venue in Advance
Whenever possible, visit your chosen venue in Montreal at least once before booking. A follow-up visit three months before the wedding allows you to finalize details. If distance is a challenge, rely on a wedding planner, online resources, and imagination. We offer virtual visits when you book for our full wedding planning services.
Choose the Perfect Hour
Consider scheduling the ceremony closer to sundown for a magical sunset wedding. In Montreal, the summer midday hours can be warm, so avoiding the heat is crucial for a comfortable celebration.
Tailor Your Wedding Dress to the Climate
Breathable fabrics are essential, especially during Montreal's varying weather conditions. Choose a wedding dress that suits the climate and enhances your comfort. We have very cool winters and scorching summers.
Never Check Your Dress
Opt to carry your dress on board, even if folding is necessary. Ensure someone at your destination can press and steam it for you.
Fly Directly to Montreal
Flying directly to Montreal reduces travel time. Consider landing in Montreal directly or a nearby airport for convenience.
Consider Your Photographer's Style Choose a photographer whose style aligns with your vision. Discuss preferences and connect with a professional you can trust to capture your special moments.
