Have A Destination Wedding Close To Home!

With all the talk of destination weddings lately, you may be feeling a little left out. Maybe you can’t afford to take that much time off from work, or perhaps you simply don’t have the funds to jet away to an island or mountain retreat.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune a have a terrific destination wedding! Here’s some ideas about how you can have one.

Start looking for your destination wedding locale as nearby as you can—in your own city. Do you have a famous state park? A historic Church? How about a quaint little bed and breakfast tucked away in a quiet location? All of these places can serve as ideal locations for a destination type wedding party.

Play up whatever area you choose. For example, if you choose to hold your wedding party at a local bed-and-breakfast, choose a theme that goes well with it. Is it a Victorian hotel? Have a Victorian theme wedding party. Does it border a seaside? A beach theme wedding would be perfectly suited.

What? You live in a major metropolis and a quaint bed and breakfast simply doesn’t exist? Host a skyscraper theme wedding party, complete with rooftop dancing and sparkling party favors!

If you can’t find anything interesting in your own city, expand your vision to your entire state. Most states have great historic landmarks and state parks that would be great for hosting destination theme wedding parties. In addition, you’ll likely find scores of vineyards, botanical gardens, museums and other locales that would serve as ideal spots for your wedding party.

Once you find your location, you may have to do some long-distance planning. Start by talking to the people where you have decided to host your destination wedding party, because they may be able to give you referrals for florists, caterers and photographers.

In addition, take plenty of photographs while you’re there, so you won’t have to try and remember the color schemes and physical outlay of the location while you are planning the wedding decor.

Finally, give your guests plenty of notice so that they will be able to attend your affair. Mail your invitations early, and even consider chartering a bus to get all of your guests to the event.

Most of all, have fun. A destination wedding can quickly become a stressful event if you don’t relax and have fun throughout the process.
