How to Choose your Wedding Destination Abroad by Natalie Wingrove
With so many great wedding destinations abroad how do you choose
the one that's just right for you?
It can be great fun choosing where to get married abroad;
the world really is your oyster. However to ensure you make
the right decision and choose a wedding destination that will
live up to and exceed your expectations there are a number
of important factors you should take into consideration.
Choosing your wedding destination is the first and most important
thing you will do when planning your wedding abroad and it
is a decision you shouldn't make lightly. There is a lot more
than geography that goes into choosing a wedding destination
so giving careful consideration to each of the factors listed
below should help you select the destination that's just right
for you.
Firstly, think about the style of wedding you would like to
have. For example would you like your wedding to be traditional
and elegant, stylish and relaxed or unique and creative?
Think about the setting you would like your wedding to take
place in. Would you like to be surrounded by history and culture,
amidst the bright lights and buzz of city life, amongst the
calm and tranquility of the countryside or would you like to
get married by the sea?
Consider what type of experience you would like your guests
to have - after all many will be taking holiday time to travel
abroad for your wedding. Do you think your guests would enjoy
a holiday in the sun, exploring historical sites or going on
a safari?
Think about what type of weather you would like for your wedding
day? Is it important that there is warmth and sunshine or
would you like to rug up in the snow?
Determine how much money you would like to spend on your wedding.
Do some destinations offer exceptional value for money but
lack the ability for you to create a personalised and unique
wedding day?
Think about who you would like to celebrate your wedding with.
Would you like to have a large or small wedding? Generally
the further away your wedding destination is, the lower your
acceptance rate will be.
Think about how easy it will be to plan a wedding in a particular
country - could you plan your own wedding or would you have
to use a Tour Operator or Wedding Planner?
Understand what the legal and residential requirements are
for getting married in a particular country. Can you fulfill
them? Will your marriage be legal in your home country?
When choosing your wedding destination abroad there is no
substitute for research. Use the internet, speak to travel
companies,
ask family and friends for first hand experiences and use
travel guides to find out as much information as possible
about different
destinations.
When researching possible wedding destinations take your answers
to the above factors into consideration and prioritize them
in order of importance. For each destination think about how
closely the above factors meet your criteria and its associated
priority. As an example, you have decided that you would like
to get married on a beach, hold your reception outdoors and
for your family and friends to have a fun holiday in the sun.
At first glance, The Caribbean appears to tick all your boxes.
However, your most important criteria is to be surrounded by
all your family and friends and you know that traveling to
the Caribbean will be too far and costly for them.
After further research you discover Cyprus matches more closely
with your criteria - being closer to home, it is a more affordable
travel destination for your family and friends and it also
gives you the all important beach wedding that you desire.
Therefore, if you take the above factors into consideration
and do your research the perfect wedding destination will be
out there waiting to play host to your wedding abroad.
