CON: Low Attendance
Destination weddings demand the need for guests’ presence at a dedicated time. A local wedding allows one to attend the festivities at their own perusal but a destination wedding requires the need to take out time from someone’s calendar. With the planning of a destination wedding, you might have to make peace with the fact that some guests might not be able to attend your wedding. If you want the majority of your guests to come to your wedding, then a destination wedding may not be the best option for you.
CON: Paperwork
There will be mountains of paperwork to wade through if you have a destination wedding. The actual processes of checking (or renewing your passport), getting a visa, and acquiring an international wedding license will be a major hassle. Additionally, contracts with the venue will have to be read thoroughly before being signed. Choose a wholesome destination wedding planner such as Theme Weavers Designs who make the process seamless for the client. From vetting vendor contracts to offering the best stylists and curated wedding decor designs, TWD is a one-stop solution to all your wedding needs.
CON: Unpredictability
We have all known the frustration when the airline misplaces the luggage. Such an annoyance will be multiplied tenfold if you have all your wedding trousseau in a bag and it gets lost in transition. This will do nothing to curb the pre-wedding nerves. Also, how can there be a wedding without the lehenga? It would also be a good idea to carry jewelry in the carry-on luggage. Do not forget to invest in travel insurance, just in case anything does go wrong. If you are bringing your makeup artist or Mehendi artist along with you, there needs to be a backup in case one of them falls sick. These many bookings can create a plethora of confusion to coordinate work with. Instead, Team TWD offers you a complete package deal where all the wedding stress will be taken care of by them. From connecting with the top vendors in the locality of the destination to taking care of all the decor requirements, TWD presents you with seamless coordination and management to enjoy your luxury destination wedding.
