Romantic Destination Wedding Ideas
Destination Wedding Planning With Info, Ideas and Links
Hi, Maureen here. The second part of this website duo. Welcome to our destination wedding ideas page! We hope to inform as well as inspire all of you Romantics.
We’ve never given much thought to destination/travel weddings. Our own wedding, back in ’94 was traditional and held in my little hometown. But last September, my dear friend Corinna, married Chris, the man of her dreams, in spectacular Waterton National Park in southern Alberta, Canada. 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 invitation came well in advance and gave us plenty of time to prepare for the event. The wedding ceremony and tea was held at the gorgeous 75-yr old Prince of Wales Hotel. The hotel staff is very competent at hosting weddings. My friend has always been very prudent with her budget, and managed to plan a beautiful yet inexpensive destination 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 working hard to catch a fish!
After the ceremony, high tea was served in the hotel. The following morning, the guests met for a hike though the park before making our way home.
It was a wonderful experience for all of us and made me a believer in destination 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?
Greg and I now feel inspired to find and share more ideas for the best destination wedding ideas out there. We’ll take a look at destination wedding dress options, invitations, and top tropical wedding spots, as well as a few other locations too. With TV programs like The Today Show destination wedding where viewers select various parts of the destination wedding package, the whole idea is gaining popularity. We sincerely hope to give you some valuable ideas.
