Do you feel like getting away? Do you want to start your honeymoon early? Destination weddings are a great way to accomplish both! What is a destination wedding? A destination wedding is a planned ceremony and reception that is done away from home. There are many types of wedding locations, such as the beach, woods, church, or boat. Depending on your preference, a destination wedding may be the way you want to go.
Destination weddings are great for an intimate, easy and less expensive trip. It may seem a little strange or out of reach, but destination weddings can sometimes be much easier than the traditional.
Having a destination wedding is very romantic. You can make this trip a dream that you’ll remember forever. Whether you go an island or the countryside, a destination wedding is something that will definitely leave your guests wanting more. Many times brides think that a destination wedding will cost more than a normal reception, but that may not be the case. Planning a wedding on a tropical island is great because there are often deals and all-inclusive resorts which save the bride and groom some cash. Also, this could be good or bad, but destination weddings often result in a smaller guest list which helps the money situation.
The one tip of advice that I would give to anyone planning a destination wedding would be to plan way in advance. Weddings usually take up to a year or more to plan. With a destination wedding you may want to leave yourself with a little more time. Since your location is no longer close to home, it often takes longer to get simple tasks done quickly.
Planning ahead of time not only gives the bridal party more time for preparations, but also helps the guests. To ensure a decent amount of guests, planning with extra time will allow them to have more time to plan their trips. The bride and groom are not the only people planning a vacation, the guests will need to take off from work, find babysitters, get transportation, etc. to attend a further location.
Although it may seem like a destination wedding is harder, to be honest, a wedding is hard and time consuming to begin with. Even if you feel that a destination wedding may not be the right decision for you, it’s definitely something fun and new to look into!
