Destination Weddings

By Kris Rhodes

Whether you have dreamed of getting married on a white sandy beach or among the dense tropical forest of some remote country, organizing a destination wedding is not as tough or expensive as you may think. Every year more couples are choosing to travel long distances to get married and there are some compelling reasons why.

Most families don't live close to each other now days, and it is very likely that your mum and dad, sisters or brothers are scattered all over the country or maybe live on different continents than yourself. Many of your closest family members that would wish to attend the wedding would travel a great distance anyhow. Marriages are usually one day affairs and this gives you little time to spend with family members. A destination marriage can be more like a holiday that allows you a lot more time to spend with close relations and chums that you haven't seen in ages.

Having to arrange the wedding flowers, marriage cake, wedding video packages and marriage dress can be extremely stressing and laborious. The majority of hotels and resorts offer wedding packages which will include everything that you need for your destination wedding. Favored island marriage destinations have many marriage planners that are experienced and professional and can put together a package to suite about any budget. There would be very few things left that you would need to organize yourself as everything will be done before you arriving. Most of these companies can even prepare all of the documentation you want, except for your passport.

The only planning you'll be left with is to get your wedding outfits made and pick your wedding bands. This will permit you much more time to relax before the wedding and there will be no mad last minute rushing around to make certain that everything is prepared. All you'll be doing is relaxing on the beach enjoying the company of those closest to you.

Unless you are going to be paying for all of your guests to attend your wedding, you should expect that your guest list will be far smaller. Not everybody will be in a position to afford the cost of airfares, hotel bills and other costs. However if you send out save-the-date cards earlier enough, you will find that a load more people will attend your marriage than you anticipated, particularly if you are heading off to some paradise island. Close acquaintances and family will just make it part of their annual holiday ; an exotic island paradise holiday can be very tempting.

Although there's a much bigger distance to travel when choosing a destination wedding, when you add up all the costs you will often find that the full marriage works out a lot less expensive. For a similar budget a normal wedding costs you'll be ready to have an extended wedding vacation on some tropical island paradise for a similar budget. The biggest cost will be the airfares, depending on where you are traveling from. Most of the favored island destinations are extremely inexpensive when it comes to the hotels, resorts and the whole marriage package.

The sole hurdle that you may find tricky to overcome is finding a marriage videographer that's professional. Couples who have their wedding at home can get some recommendations about Sydney marriage videographers from acquaintances and family. When hiring a marriage videographer in another country it is imperative that you see their wedding video testimonials. - 30299
