Romantic Destination Wedding Ideas

Hi, this is Maureen. Welcome to our section on wedding travel packages and ideas. We hope to inform as well as inspire all of you romantics.

We’ve never given much thought to destination/vacation weddings. Our own wedding was traditional and held in my hometown.

But a few years ago, my dear friend Corinna, married Chris, the man of her dreams, in the spectacular Canadian Rockies near Waterton National Park, Alberta. As two of only thirty invited guests, Greg and I were thrilled to be a part of this Canadian Rockies destination wedding.

Corinna’s wedding ceremony and tea was held at the gorgeous 75-yr old Prince of Wales Hotel. The hotel staff are great at hosting weddings. My friend has always been very prudent with her budget, and managed to plan a beautiful yet inexpensive wedding package.

The ceremony was held just outside the hotel, with the mountains and glacier lakes providing a spectacular backdrop. A single flutist played lovely music as the bride slowly made her way down the walkway leading from the back of the hotel to her place beside her husband-to-be. Far below us, as the cold lake lapped at the base of the rugged mountains, a brown bear could be seen catching a fish!

It was a wonderful experience for all of us and made me a believer in planning travel weddings. They are:

• Memorable: Having your wedding in an unusual or tropical location makes a meaningful day even more unforgettable.

• Practical: In many instances, the hotel/resort looks after everything you need. This adds up to much less stress on the big day.

• Romantic: Isn’t that what it’s all about?

We now feel inspired to find and share more ideas for the best destination wedding ideas out there. We’ll take a look at some of the best tropical wedding spots, as well as a few other locations too.
