Destination Weddings Are A Waste Of Money

By:


On paper the destination weddings look to be very much the best thing that can happen to you. You envision a nice setting with the sun setting in the backdrop and exchanging the vows with the cool sea breeze blowing. The abundant sands of the beach and the water providing that perfect backdrop.

This is true as far as the nice aspects of the destination wedding go but when it comes down to sheer costs as well as the sheer magnitude or preparation involved you will almost shudder.

The reason is simple that at each step of the wedding you will have to pay more because of the fact that you are not having your wedding in your own backyard. Let us take an example of wedding flowers. If you order the wedding flowers for your wedding then you will have to order those either online or using your local florist shop. If you are holding the wedding in your backyard then you can just order those to be delivered just in time for the wedding whereas for the destination wedding you will have to order them well in advance and most likely online. You will have to pay for extra shipping costs as well as extra handling and storage charges.

Same goes for the wedding dress and many other items. Then come the guests and in most cases you will have to bear the half of the expenses of the travel of the guests as well as the full expenses for the lodging and that can amount to big chunk of your budget. You can definitely have less number of guests but then that is at the risk of alienating some of the relatives.

Apart from that the destination weddings there are so many weddings happening that everyone out there is out make a fast buck and the arrangements are just about average. For above average decorations you will have to pay more and also make sure that you reach the venue a few days in advance and that means more money.

That said the way out is to have your backyard wedding and by spending some extra money you can convert the setting into a good destination experience like a Hawaiian theme or a Caribbean theme. There are wedding planners and wedding designers who specialize in such kind of work and will be easily able to do this for you.

So think twice before deciding on a destination wedding.
