Planning a destination wedding? You want to make sure your special day is perfect and unique. But with all the planning, details, and logistics that come with a wedding – especially one in another country – it can be hard to know where to start.
Fortunately, there are some that will help make your destination wedding stand out from the rest. Here are seven of them:
1. A Cultural Theme:
Incorporating local culture and traditions into your wedding décor can be a great way to give your destination wedding an original flair. For example, if you’re getting married in Mexico, consider having a mariachi band play during the ceremony or reception. If you’re getting married in Japan, consider holding a traditional tea ceremony.
2. Local Food:
The food you serve at your wedding should reflect the culture and cuisine of the region you’re getting married in. Consider hiring a local caterer to provide dishes from the area or create your own special menu based on local ingredients. This will add a unique twist to the wedding dinner, making it that much more memorable.
3. Personalized Favors:
Rather than opting for generic wedding favors, think about creating something special that reflects your destination wedding. For example, if you’re getting married in Italy, consider giving guests personalized bottles of wine with custom labels. If you’re getting married in Thailand, consider gifting them traditional Thai souvenirs like scarves or keychains.
4. Meaningful Accommodations:
If you’re having a destination wedding, chances are your guests will need to stay at the location for a few days. With guests taking days out of their busy schedules to make it to your wedding, showing your gratitude goes a long way.
Make their stay more special by offering them personalized welcome bags with items that reflect the region. You can also arrange for special activities or transportation to and from their accommodations. One can say, “Thank you for coming,” or really show it.
5. Unique Music:
Music is an important element of any wedding, so why not choose something different for your destination wedding? Consider hiring a local band or DJ that specializes in the type of music popular in the area. This will create an atmosphere that your guests won’t soon forget.
6. Photos:
No wedding is complete without photos! Choose a backdrop for your wedding photos that speaks to the unique setting of your destination wedding, like a stunning beach or ancient temple. This way, you can remember your special day for years to come.
7. Special Touches:
Whatever you do, don’t forget to add your own personal touches. Whether it’s a special song for the couple’s first dance or simply having a photo album with pictures from your travels together, these small details will make your wedding unique and memorable.
By adding these, you’ll create an experience that is truly unforgettable for you and all of your guests. With a little bit of extra thought and planning, your unique celebration will stand out from the rest—making your wedding a unique, special experience for both you and your guests.
