Home or abroad? Best wedding destinations.

Sunday, August 04, 2013


 
These days, weddings come in all shapes and sizes, from small gatherings at a local church, to full-blown week-long parties on a Caribbean island. With so many destinations to choose from, the decision can be a daunting one, so have a look at this guide to wedding planning for both home and away.

Home
Getting married at home has some obvious benefits; all your friends and family will be able to come, it’s usually easier on the bank account and you can check out the setting before the big day. Having a wedding in your home town is often a lovely way to celebrate your marriage, especially if all your friends and family are from the same region.  

There are logistical reasons that make getting hitched at home a great idea too. Ever thought about getting the wedding dress, shoes and accessories to a destination wedding? It can be a nightmare! The comfort of being at home means less stress for everyone. You can also choose your dress and those of your bridesmaids with a cool climate in mind, as the humid conditions of the tropics often create clothing issues. Bridesmaid dresses available at Very.co.uk come in many varieties and are perfect for summer days in the UK.

Abroad
For many, getting married on a tropical beach is the dream and it is relatively easy to organise with many hotels having their own onsite wedding planners, make-up artists and hairdressers. Of course, your destination wedding doesn’t necessarily have to be beach-based. You can choose from a classic Italian villa, a winter wonderland wedding in Scandinavia, a glitzy Vegas wedding, or a beautiful backdrop in an American National Park. The choice is limitless, which is one of the brilliant things about a destination wedding.

Many travel agents and tour operators will be able to offer package deals or group discounts to make it easier for your guests to get to your wedding, with flights and hotel costs included.
