After couples get engaged and the wedding preparation fiascos begin, every couple dreams of eloping to a faraway destination where they can exchange vows in the presence of their dearest friends and family. The truth is all couples get excited with the idea of hopping on a plane and tying the knot somewhere else besides their hometown. Even though the idea may seem daunting at first, destination wedding are actually perfect in so many ways. So we have put together a list of 10 reasons you should take the plunge and have a destination wedding!

The Bride & Groom can say I do ANYWHERE! As a wise man once said, life is a playground so go out and play! You can get married on a Greek Island with backdrop the infinite blue sea or in luxury resort or a medieval castle in Cyprus. The list is endless; all you need to do is pick your wedding playground!

Stand Out-Be Different! Destination weddings are the new trend. They are exciting and spontaneous as they are also viewed as modern version of eloping. Why choose a wedding venue in your hometown, why choose the same wedding venue your friends and cousins got married in, why choose a normal wedding venue when you can choose exotic beaches, medieval castles, luxury resorts and blossoming gardens? Your wedding will be different and remembered forever!

Much Easier! Which bride wants to drown in wedding preparations? Which bride wants to turn into a psycho Bridezilla and make everyone’s life a misery? Most resorts around the world provide couples with a wedding planning team! So all you need to do is talk to them, tell them exactly what you want and leave the planning to them! Relax, you are getting married!

Lower Budget! Destinations weddings are cost friendly as couples don’t have to spend a fortune on wedding decorations and themes. Why is that? Simple really! The location you choose already supplies the theme for you! The place you choose to tie the knot, from a glistening blue bay to a flower-covered garden, is magical in itself. Therefore, there is absolutely no need in splurging precious money on wedding decor. It’s beautiful as it is!

Quality Time! A normal wedding spans out 5 to 7 hours. The couple literally runs from one guest to another saying hello and thanking them for joining their wedding day. Doesn’t sound like fun right? Well it isn’t! Destination weddings go on for a minimum of 3 days. This means that the couple has the time to spend quality time with their closest and dearest.

Shrunken Guest List! Destination weddings give you the perfect excuse not to invite your annoying uncle Bob! Destination weddings require guests to travel, time and money. Let’s face it, not all guests will be happy about it! So, automatically the guest list shrinks. You get to get married in the presence of only your nearest and dearest friends and family…sounds awesome right?

Memorable Bachelor & Hens Party! With only a few attendees, your hens and bachelor parties will be memorable. Imagine celebrating your last day as a single while holidaying with your besties on a Greek Island like Mykonos. Sounds good right? You can devote an entire day of fun…for instance; you can start the day with scuba diving, then move to spa treatments, fine dining and night on the town!

Share a Destination you love! Part of the delight of having a destination wedding is that you get to choose a place that has special meaning to you or a place you always wanted to visit, and share it with your close friends. Firstly, when was the last time you gathered all your close friends in the same room let alone on holiday? A destination wedding is an excuse to gather your closest and dearest together! Secondly, you get to show off the place you love. Sharing is caring people!

All-year-round Sunshine! Most destinations weddings are held in exotic places, where the sun always shines. So, couples can choose a date that best fits them no matter the season or time of year. It may be raining and pouring back home, but who cares when you are getting married in paradise! Opting for a destination wedding means couples get to get married whenever they want, regardless of the weather!

Golden-brown beaches and glistening turquoise waters? Check! Scenic landscapes? Check! Luxury resorts? Check! Sightseeing? Check! What else do you need? You are already on your honeymoon!
