The Knot: Destination Wedding Basics
The Knot is a web based informal that helps future brides or inspiring planners dream of that perfect wedding. It also explores the possibilities of brides considering a destination wedding. In the past, going anywhere to get married meant eloping which would mean the couple would try to get away and tie the knot in a more intimate setting. Today, however, the idea has changed and has a growing number of couples who are traveling to different location of the U.S. for their wedding. Sometimes destination weddings involve just the couple or it can be a handful of friends and family also. The Knot made a list of things that explain why a destination wedding has become a growing trend :
“They’re Virtually Stress-Free”
Weddings can be a very stressful time in anyone’s life. There are so many things to be planning for and to be organizing that it might take the fun out of the engagement time. Honeymoon-happy resorts and cruise lines are making it easier and more appealing to wed on their site. Usually any destination you will be looking into will have a full-time wedding coordinator on staff that are familiar with everything you will need. For example, they will know the country’s marriage license requirements and they offer wedding packages that take care of all the ceremony essentials.
“No Family Drama”
Wedding location is important for everyone involved and it might even become important to long lost relatives. Having a destination wedding insures that the bride or the groom is favoring one side of the family and will be able to narrow down the list faster. For a destination wedding the most important people will be there. There will be little to no “scene-stealing family drama” at destination weddings because people will be more focused on what is really important, the couple.
“They’re Cost Effective”
Weddings can get high in price rather quickly and the best thing about a destination wedding is the availability to get a package where everything will already be included. Since many resorts all over have destination wedding packages it is more affordable to get a package deal then pay for a wedding and everything in it and also be thinking about a honeymoon. In this case, the couple will already be at their honeymoon location.
“You Call The Shots”
Weddings can link anyone to the traditions of their ancestors and cultures. Couples want their own experience to be unique and reflect on their own true colors. In a destination wedding, the world is your altar. It is also to make your own rules and traditions for yourself and your wedding. You are in charge of your destination wedding so if you want to walk down the altar with no shoes or hire a ukulele band go for it, no one is stopping you.
“They’re Simply Perfect for Second Marriages”
If it didn’t work out for the first time and now you are in love again, destination weddings are perfect because they are simple and private. If the couple has children, it is a good idea to get married at a kid-friendly, all-inclusive resort or cruise to help your new family do some bonding.
“They’re a Once-in-a-Lifetime Reunion Opportunity”
Destination weddings are a vacation of a lifetime. For a wedding like this it is usually required to arrive a few days early to fill out paperwork for your special day so by the time your wedding rolls around you have been relaxing and having fun with your fiancé and your close family and friends. This choice of your wedding will give you the opportunity to spend no-rush quality playtime with your family and friends.
Event planners have built good relationships with suppliers so they often get discounts from them. In turn, they pass on the discounted rates to their clients. You are likely to pay the regular price if you contact the suppliers directly. The event planner serves as your master negotiator when it comes to obtaining cheaper rates from vendors.
