With air travel being open to everyone these days, you don't need to stay close to home for your wedding. Many couples spread their wings for their big day and travel 1000's of miles. Whether the destination be a golden beach or a snow filled mountain top, destination weddings are more popular than ever.
One of the many reasons destination weddings are so popular now is that they are can be virtually stress free. You decide your destination, contact them and from there you receive a wedding planner who will organise the entire thing for you. Leaving you only to worry about your wedding dress and inviting your nearest and dearest.
Even though destination weddings do seem sometimes to be a walk in the park, it doesn't mean you don't need to take time to research your destination before deciding on a final location. The last thing you want is to be standing at the alter in gale force winds and torrential downpours, as you've booked your beach wedding in the middle of hurricane season, or on top of a mountain that's meant to be snowpeaked without the snow. Different country means different seasons! You need to choose the perfect month for the country you wish to get married in. Along with the weather, there are also legalities to think about when it comes to marrying in a different country. You might have to visit the countries town hall to fill in paperwork to make sure your marriage will be valid when you return back to the UK. You don't want to travel all that way to come home and be told your not legaly married!
Also when booking your special day make sure you choose a reputable travel agent, it has been heard of couples paying money out and then for the wedding to fall through as the agent resulting in money loss and lots of stress.
