What Happens at a Destination Wedding?

By Anna Duncan

Destination weddings are a truly unique and romantic way to say “I do”. Instead of having a traditional wedding in your home town, you can choose to have it in a beautiful and exotic location. Destination weddings come with some unique advantages, but they also come with some challenges that you should be aware of before deciding on one for your special day.

When planning a destination wedding, couples must decide what type of wedding they want. Do they want an intimate ceremony with close family and friends or a larger affair with many guests? Once the number of guests is decided on, the couple can start looking into venues and making arrangements for travel and accommodations.

Destination weddings usually take place outdoors in stunning locations like beaches, gardens, or historic landmarks. This allows couples to have beautiful scenery as the backdrop for their special day. Since these locations are often remote or hard to reach, it is important to make sure that everything is well organized when it comes to transportation and other arrangements.

Before booking a destination wedding, couples must consider the costs associated with it. Not only do they need to factor in the cost of travel, lodging, food/drinks, decorations/flowers etc., but they also need to consider any additional costs such as permits or licenses that may be required by local governments.

On the Day Of:

On the day of the wedding, the couple should arrive at least two hours before their ceremony starts so that they can make any last minute adjustments or preparations. It is also important to check-in with all vendors (such as caterers and photographers) prior to the ceremony so that everything runs smoothly.

Once all preparations are complete, it’s time for the big moment!

After saying “I do”, couples usually take time out for photos either at their chosen venue or at another nearby location. Following photos is typically followed by a reception where guests are able to celebrate with food and drinks and enjoy each other’s company until late into the night.

Conclusion:

Destination weddings offer an exciting twist on traditional weddings that allow couples to share their special day in an unforgettable way. While there may be more planning involved than usual when organizing one of these events, couples will find that all of their hard work pays off when they get married in a truly unique location surrounded by family and friends.

In conclusion:

A destination wedding is an exciting way for couples to celebrate their union in an unforgettable setting surrounded by loved ones. It requires careful planning from choosing a venue to making arrangements for travel and accommodations. On the day itself there will be last minute preparations followed by saying “I do” against beautiful scenery before celebrating late into the night at a reception full of food, drinks and fun!
