The Best Guide to Have the Perfect Destination Wedding

A destination wedding can be the perfect romantic solution for putting up the best wedding combined with a luxurious honeymoon. Also it can be a difficult task as one is attempting to make a choice from a distance, so it is up to the bride and groom to select the right alternative. Research shows that 20% of weddings today are done in the destination wedding style. Is a destination wedding right for you? Here are the pros and cons to help you decide.

Pros:

• It is a beautiful wedding that turns into a honeymoon. With a destination wedding one can combine the wedding and honeymoon; the bride and groom can afford to go to that dream honeymoon.
• A great honeymoon where bride and groom don't have to leave. You'll be in a beautiful place, where you will have enough time to spend romantically alone.
• Easy to create a great home base. Bride and groom can allow registry that lets guest register for anything, having a destination wedding because they have no home base.

Cons:

• A destination wedding can be expensive. There will be a lot of dollar signs behind this event and you will need to work hard to keep it stress-free and simpler.
• A destination wedding will require guests to travel. Since it will be held far away, some guests may not be able to attend due to the expenses, or due to time constraints.
• Destination wedding sometimes comes with legal challenges. If your destination wedding is located in a foreign country, the bride and groom might run into complications to get a marriage license.

If you are a couple who wants to plan a destination wedding and are curious as to which wedding destinations are most popular, let me enlighten you with the top two wedding destinations.

According to Bud Carmichael, the founder of destinationweddings.com, the number one place for a destination wedding, from the last 1,100 destination weddings he planned and assisted couples with, is Mexico. Mexico is the number one place for destinations weddings.

If you don't find Mexico to be the favorite destination, why not think about the second option, Jamaica? The number two place where most couples would be pleased to combine the fun of a wedding and a honeymoon. Jamaica makes it easy for couples of other countries to hold a wedding, but be aware that there is a 24-hour waiting period required before you can get a marriage license.

So have you made up your mind on having a destination wedding? If so it is best to start planning early. First research the destination's legal marriage protocol and requirements. Send invitations early and don't be disappointed if you receive high number of declines. Transport is the most important thing when it comes to crucial wedding components like the wedding gown and tuxedo. I did not have a destination wedding but it can be an ideal wedding and honeymoon combined with proper planning.
