More Wedding Day Experience Through Several Days
Traditional brides
often complain that all the planning took a year and the day was over in a flash. They spent too much time making small talk
with acquaintances at the wedding than being with their close friends and family, or they didn't really spend enough time
with their spouse.
With DWs, you get more time with your loved ones who usually make a vacation out of the trip, you'll see them
in the hotel, at brunches, on the beach, as much or as little as you'd like.
You and your fiance can get there a few days early
and enjoy the last precious moments of your engagement
The rehearsal dinner on location lends to the big vacation
feeling.
You'll have time for a stress free field trip with the
guests the next day if you'd like.
You can make your anniversary present each year be a trip back to that destination. Romance
and a vacay!
You'll know you pulled off the most memorable wedding
your friends have ever been to.
Less Expensive
You'll have less guests to feed
You can be creative with the location themed invitations and save as opposed to the formal ones which are a
dime a dozen
If the guests' hotel is an all-inclusive, it will take
money off your reception per-head bill
Guests save money because they
get a vacation and the trip to your wedding in one. They can usually get a great vacation with food and drink included for
a bulk price that you arrange. How many non-stop flights and all-inclusives do you find in small town, USA?
Bridesmaid dresses are almost always less expensive, more informal, and able to be worn many
times again
Less money on decorations,the location is the decoration
Simpler and less expensive, yet elegant wedding dresses are more appropriate
Shoes are optional!
Don't have to invite
co-workers or your mom's neighbor from when she was 10, just the people YOU really care about.
Wedding planners, musicians and photographers are usually less expensive, and I had my negatives,
video and photo album waiting for me at the airport at the end of my honeymoon. I could make all the pharmacy 8x10s I wanted
at CVS prices. Most brides hit their one year anniversary before they get their wedding album!

Less stress in the
details. Since you are planning from afar, you really don't care what the cake tastes like, and your guests only notice
the water, the beach, your ceremony and the margaritas after at the beach bar.
Your guests will have more than enough to do.
Less meddling from others on the
details
No standing in lines at the airport or waiting on the tarmack after the wedding rehearsal excitement. Your honeymoon
starts just by putting on the bikini and kissing guests goodbye. You are already in paradise.
