Imagine beginning the details of the planning of your big day — the one you have been dreaming of. Picking a date, finding the venue, working on the guest list, figuring out a budget and then the tide shifts and the fun starts to become overwhelming. You still want to get married but the stress and possibly the drama is spoiling it for you. Everyone has an opinion and do not always have the common sense to keep them to themselves.
Many of our clients find themselves in that exact situation and decide to escape which is one of the reasons that makes the Destin and Fort Walton Beach area of Florida the premier destination wedding location for thousands of couples. Get your sanity back with an Emerald Coast wedding.
If the joy is leaving your wedding planning, it may be time to switch gears. Here are some of the top reasons why we have seen many runaway brides and grooms escape to the beach and retrieve their sanity.
1. Budget. A destination wedding can be very cost effective. Your guest list will decrease. You can have your honeymoon start right away.
2. Too many obligatory invites. A hometown wedding makes you feel like you have to invite everyone from work, neighbors, childhood friends, your parents’ friends and co-workers, and the list goes on and on. Planning a destination wedding allows you to let everyone know you are planning an intimate destination wedding with immediate family and a few friends.
3. The need to please too many others. There is a saying, too many cooks spoil the broth, which bears true when planning a wedding. Everyone has a strong opinion on everything. “You need to use Uncle Bob for your photos”, “It’s family tradition to use the country club for family events”, “Use all your cousins as your bridesmaids”, and the list goes on and on.
4. Drama. Now you get to say, we would like to keep it simple and intimate. We have planned “simple and intimate” weddings for 2 to 300, but with a destination wedding the ball is more in your court for decision making.
5. Something different. Instead of booking the same venue that your best friend just booked last year, having a beach wedding along the Emerald Coast will be unique experience that you and your guests will never forget.
