As a wedding photographer, I’ve captured countless beautiful weddings across California, but I knew I wanted something unique for my own special day! My husband, who is originally from Romania, and I were choosing between three countries, as he had moved to Canada as a child. To make it fair, we decided everyone would need to fly to our wedding. This decision not only kept our guest list small but also saved us money. To our delight, Italy turned out to be far more affordable than anywhere in California. For a four-night stay for ten people, including all meals and the event itself, it was only a quarter of our budget! The florals and other luxurious add-ons were still within our reach. The memories we created with our intimate group were priceless and are memories we will cherish forever. Our guests appreciated the much-needed vacation, and they still reminisce about our wedding as if it were yesterday! Afterward, my husband and I enjoyed a mini-moon, driving from Tuscany to Lake Como. It was perfect to celebrate with loved ones and then escape for quality time together! In this post, I share why you should consider a destination wedding!
Considering a destination wedding in a place like St. Thomas offers the beauty of a far-off destination without the need for a passport! This makes it convenient for guests who may not have one. You can also pay in U.S. dollars, simplifying the financial logistics. Additionally, travel to this stunning destination isn’t too far, and your phone plan remains the same, so you stay connected effortlessly. These conveniences make a U.S. territory destination both exotic and hassle-free. You can also consider Hawaii you can find amazing locations there and you don’t need to worry about passports, your phone plan stays the same and you pay in U.S. dollars!
European countries offer a variety of benefits for destination weddings! Imagine indulging in delicious food and wine while surrounded by stunning backdrops perfect for photos. A destination wedding in Europe combines the wedding and vacation into one round-trip flight, offering memorable experiences with family and friends! There are opportunities for unique activities and exploration, allowing you and your guests to dive into cultural experiences that are different from the usual. While many people choose the same destinations repeatedly, getting married overseas ensures a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. Whether you choose to elope or have your closest ones with you on such an important day, you will create memories that will be cherished forever!
One of the most attractive aspects of a destination wedding is affordability! A smaller guest list means reduced costs. Additionally, vendors and venues in many destinations are more affordable than domestic options. The natural beauty of these locations often means you don’t need to spend much on decor, saving money. Moreover, you can combine your wedding venue and honeymoon experience within the same trip! This will also reduce travel costs. Whether you choose to explore the same country or hop to nearby countries, this approach is both economical and exciting!
A destination wedding offers a unique, memorable, and often more affordable way to celebrate your love. By considering these factors and embracing the adventure, you can create a wedding experience that is truly extraordinary! Ready for me to capture it?!
