Destination Weddings Trend Watch: 5 Reasons to Have a Destination Wedding

Destination weddings are the perfect way to have a memorable, unique wedding that reflects the couple’s true love story.

While traditional weddings are important to many newly engaged couples, destination weddings are increasingly becoming more popular seeing as the average destination wedding costs $20,000, as opposed to a local wedding that costs at least 3 times as much.

Below are a few other reasons that are motivating couples to move away from having lavish local weddings, to more intimate and personal weddings in destinations such as Europe, North America, and the Caribbean.

  • Inexpensive

Destination weddings are significantly more affordable than a traditional formal wedding.  This may seem surprising since the thought of having a wedding at an exotic location may sound expensive. However in many cases resorts tend to have wedding packages that include the couple’s resort stay and ceremony.  With the help of destination wedding planning companies, such as The Wedding Haven, couples can stick to their budget and achieve their dream wedding at their dream location!

  • Vacation for All!

Wedding planning can be extremely stressful for the bride and groom.  Although well intentioned, family and friends can create some confusion for the couple, leading to stress during what should be a time of enjoyment. A destination wedding can help eliminate some of this stress, as the destination wedding planners essentially walk the couple through most of the process. This allows the couple, their families, and their friends to focus on themselves, and on enjoying their wedding in paradise.

  • Gorgeous Photos? Check

Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on flowers, candles, and centerpieces, having a destination wedding means that you get to choose that perfect wedding backdrop that you’ve always wanted at little or no cost at all. Imagine the beach behind you while you say your “I dos” or the Eiffel Tower in front of you while walking down the aisle – whatever your choice a destination wedding guarantees that your photos will be magazine worthy.

  • Talk about a Bonding Experience!

Since a destination wedding is basically a little vacation, everyone in your group will get the chance to get to know each other on a more personal level. Thus, instead of having a hall filled with 200 guests that you really don’t know, you are actually investing in creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

  • Stand Out

Another great thing about having a destination wedding is that no matter the location, you will stand out. Couples who choose to have a destination wedding get to tell their love story their own way, in a manner that reflects their true selves. They have less people meddling in their decisions given that most of these are discussed in one-on-one sessions with the wedding planners, who make sure that the couple’s wedding concept and vision unfolds exactly the way they envisioned it.
