Home Weddings vs. Destination Weddings

Should you get married close to home or is a destination wedding something that you should consider? It's tough to compare the two options because they could offer such different experiences. However, if you're considering a destination wedding, it's a good idea to look at how it's different from getting married at a venue near you. There are some key issues you will want to think about.

The Cost

Your immediate thought is probably that a destination wedding is going to cost you more than a wedding at home. However, in many cases, the opposite is actually the case. Destination weddings often mean fewer guests, so you can keep the costs down even with expenses such as transport and accommodation. Many of the costs for a destination wedding will be the same as getting married at home.

The Range of Choice

When it comes to choice, a destination wedding obviously gives you a huge amount. You can decide where you want to get married, anywhere in the world, as long as it's legal. However, once you have chosen a location, that's where your choices could be more limited in terms of wedding vendors.

The Planning

Planning a wedding is always going to be stressful, no matter where you decide to have it. However, a destination wedding may have a few extra steps compared to a wedding closer to home. It can also be more difficult to plan from a distance, but it's possible to do if you're organized and a good communicator.
