Take everything you know about destination weddings and chuck it out the window…<\/em><\/h4>\n

A destination wedding could just be everything you dreamed of, and more! If you haven\u2019t considered it, here\u2019s a few top advantages of destination weddings.<\/p>\n

\"Advantages<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Affordability<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We bet you\u2019re thinking that destination weddings are more expensive than traditional weddings \u2013 they always look so glamourous and filled with exciting activities. In reality though, a destination wedding can be a budget wedding and still be everything you dreamt of.<\/p>\n

    Your guest list will be much shorter and depending on whether or not you\u2019re paying for guests\u2019 transport, this could save you a pretty penny. Or two! You\u2019ll also save by doubling up your wedding as your honeymoon destination, so your honeymoon flights for a close-to-home wedding becomes your wedding and honeymoon transport.<\/p>\n

    The focus isn\u2019t on the d\u00e9cor. Whether you have crystal champagne glasses, or coconut cocktails, no one cares<\/em>. It\u2019s part of the destination experience and makes for a unique and memorable wedding. And be sure to use the destination\u2019s natural setting as part of your d\u00e9cor to further save costs.<\/p>\n

      Room for Creativity<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Break the rules and have your wedding, your way. Toast with local beverages; substitute menu items for fresh seasonal local options; swap your princess dress with a beach-appropriate breath-taking number; ditch the heels; fake the cake; throw tradition out the door; the world is your oyster. It\u2019s about the experience, but mostly, it\u2019s about your special day and it should ultimately be about what you want.<\/p>\n

        Grooms get More Involved<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Typically, grooms aren\u2019t always 100% involved in the planning of the wedding. For some reason, grooms tend to get more involved when it\u2019s a destination wedding. Whether it\u2019s planning excursions and exiting activities for guest, or finding a cool spot for the day-after brunch.<\/p>\n

        1. \n

          Spend Quality Time With Each Guest<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          We especially love this perk. The coming together of two hearts is such a special occasion. A destination wedding is more intimate. Each guest is a VIP and each of those VIP\u2019s have played a role in your fairy-tale and will continue to play a role in your marriage. They are your number one supporters, and have come a far way to bear witness to your union. Of course you want to spend some time with each VIP! At traditional weddings, the guest lists grows longer, and your time gets divided between all those guests on one night. Instead, spend quality time with your guests before the wedding, during the wedding, and afterwards. So many opportunities for cherished memories\u2026<\/p>\n

          \"Destination<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Guest are Present and in the Moment<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Far, far, away\u2026 This doesn\u2019t only apply to the happy couple, but guests tend to leave all their everyday stresses and worries behind the second they board a plane. A bonus for your guests is that they get to enjoy a relaxing and memorable holiday. The bonus for you is having your guests present and completely in the moment. Stress, tiredness, anxiety \u2013 these are all things that you don\u2019t want present on your special day.<\/p>\n

            \"Destination<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              Higher Spirits = Higher Fun<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Further to our previous point, the more energised and excited your guests are, the more fun you will all have. Imagine the shenanigans you\u2019ll get up to! Make good use of that energy, and plan a few fun and unusual activities and keep a camera at the ready.<\/p>\n

              \"Destination<\/p>\n

              Of course, you\u2019ll always have a special spot that is yours to cherish for anniversaries and many other celebration\u2026<\/p>\n
