So you’re engaged to be married and busy planning the when and the where. The possibilities are exciting but also seemingly never-ending – as are the opinions fired at you from every angle. How can something so fun turn so stressful? Many couples describe this as the light bulb moment where they entertain the thought “Would it not be easier to wed on a private island in the middle of nowhere?”
The answer is almost always “yes” – it is easier, much easier.
What does it mean to have a destination wedding?
Here’s why destination weddings can be easier:
A destination wedding naturally limits the numbers. Your close family and friends will often go the distance to be there for you, but many peripheral guests will make their excuses, leaving you with a smaller, more genuine group.
If you are looking for an intimate affair, choose a boutique destination that can only accommodate a limited number of guests. That way you and your party benefit from true privacy during your stay.
Many resorts have a wedding manager to take care of the details for you. They can arrange everything from the catering and the cake to your make-up and hair, leaving you with fewer wedding tasks to manage yourselves.
Choose a destination that allows you to tailor plans to your wishes. There are many resorts offering this so don’t be pressured into buying a set package. This is your day and your dreams – so own it.
As resort guests, no one in your party needs to worry about practical plans, like they do at home. Instead everyone is on holiday mode, relaxed and stress-free to enjoy your special day.
Choose a resort that offers meals included in the rates. Then you and your guests can dine together every night without worrying about additional costs.
A resort destination is usually located in natural beauty, which means the backdrop for your wedding photos is ready. Beautiful memories can be captured very naturally without you have to lift a finger or spend a huge amount on flowers.
Check out the resort of your choice on Instagram. Instead of scrolling through the resort’s own images, take a look at the tagged images by tapping on the person icon next to the grid icon. This will show you what guests’ images look like, and give you a flavour of the types of images you can expect to take too.
Choose a resort that can offer a selection of venues for you and your party to celebrate. The ceremony may be in one location, drinks and canapés in another, while the wedding meal is on a beach or in a restaurant. Instead of parades of cars and taxis and worrying whether uncle Bob has had too much drink to be able to drive, you can easily glide from space to space, allowing more time to soak up the
atmosphere and the bubbles!
Make sure the destination you choose does offer more than one space for
your party. It can be a little dull if you are stuck in one space for the entire event.
Choosing a destination wedding makes your special day become more like a special week! It’s likely you and your guests will have some time at the resort before and after the big day, so the celebrations can go on and on.
Look for a destination that offers long-stay packages or deals.
Be sure to make time for each other during your trip, rather than spending all your time entertaining family and friends that have come with you. A good wedding destination will provide plenty to do for your guests on their own.
Choose a resort that allows you one romantic night a deux – whether that is a special romantic meal for two, a special activity or maybe a different suite in another location to give you private together time.
If you and your guests are flying in from different parts of the world, be sure to choose somewhere in close proximity to a major airport. This way flights will be more regular and won’t break the bank.
Choose a resort that handles travel logistics for you. Then you and guests don’t need to spend hours coordinating pick-ups and drop-offs.
