Destination wedding themes are one of the most popular kind of weddings taking place today.
If you’re newly engaged, and in the first throws of wedding planning, you’re probably seeing the terms “destination wedding”, “far away wedding”, or “weekend wedding” in everything you read.
What is all the buzz about destination weddings? Is this yet another gimmick the wedding industry has made up to try to lure couples wanting to plan romantic weddings at exotic honeymoon locations?
No, in fact, this idea makes sense. While the terms sound, admittedly, like “wedding speak”, the realities of contemporary couples, especially those who are well traveled or, whose friends and family are separated by great distances, have made these wedding themes increasingly popular.
Several of the best honeymoon resorts have put together incredible all inclusive wedding packages at romantic honeymoon locations all over the world! Whether your vision is for a tropical Caribbean wedding or you are looking at brochures showcasing weddings aboard, the possibilities are endless!
In general, there are three types of destination wedding themes:
- You and your beloved have relocated far from your roots, have many good friends were you have landed, you want to stay put for your wedding.
- You and your fiance drag your friends and business associates to where one or both of you are from.
- You pick an entirely new, different, and fascinating location to hold your celebration and invite guests to join you there (and where you will be honeymooning afterward). For our purposes, we will dub this type of destination wedding “a wedding away”.
All three scenarios have lots in common. Whenever you’re expecting guests from all over and most likely for at least a three day weekend, your wedding plans entail a special level of research, logistics, and hospitality. Even a small wedding at a will require some planning and spending some time doing proper planning will make all destination wedding themes memorable and unique.
