Pro Tip

“When planning a destination beach wedding, it’s the small details that guests remember.

It’s a lovely touch to have baskets set out at the beach entrance with flip flops in a variety of colors and sizes, towels for guests to dry off their feet and cool washcloths for guests to cool off with. Bottles of Avon’s Skin So Soft are an added touch to keep away the dreaded “nosee-ums.”. - Sha Sha Harnik, Loluma Events
