Imagine exchanging your wedding vows against the backdrop of a stunning beach. Or, hosting your wedding in a majestic palace steeped in history, grandeur and romance surrounded by your closest friends and family. It may sound a bit far-fetched, unachievable even, but it’s a definitive trend that’s here to stay. An increasing number of couples have been opting for destination weddings in unique venues across the world. Of late, the rise in luxury resorts and hotels, top-notch cuisine, and good connectivity has contributed to this growing trend of destination weddings.Luckily, these factors havealso made planning a destination wedding a lot more doable, and definitely more enjoyable for the couple.

If you’re confused about whether you should go the international destination wedding route in the first place, there are a few questions you should ask yourself to help you seal the decision. For starters, a couple could figure out whether they would really love to get married at an international wedding destination — someplace close to their heart, a venue that holds special memories, a scenic beach where they would love to tie the knot with only their loved ones for witnesses? Secondly, will your friends and family be up to travel to this wedding destination for a few days, or in the case of a Big Fat Indian Wedding, maybe even a week? Will you and your better half be able to take a few days out every now and then to finalise details at the destination itself? Once you have the answers to these questions, everything will fall into place when planned in tandem with your destination wedding planner.
