You&#8217;ll likely have fewer guests, which results in lower costs for big-ticket expenses like food and drinks. Many destination wedding locations offer wedding packages that can be customized into a very unique, personalized event, while still offering planning and d\u00e9cor at a reduced cost. Resorts may even throw in bonus hotel nights or wedding upgrades depending how many rooms are booked in your group.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, have you always dreamed about a big, lavish wedding, surrounded by hundreds of your closest family and friends? If that&#8217;s the case you&#8217;ll probably want to stay away from a destination locale. Guests are normally expected to pay their own airfare and hotel expenses when attending a destination wedding, so sometimes it&#8217;s not financially feasible for everyone to make the trip. If you can&#8217;t stand the thought of all of your loved ones not being able to celebrate with you, try having a simple ceremony at home and save your money for an exotic honeymoon instead!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9551\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-9551 \" alt=\"destination honeymoon secluded island\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-749x500.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-672x448.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9551 \" alt=\"destination honeymoon secluded island\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-749x500.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/large_7424536244-672x448.jpg 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dazjohnson\/7424536244\/\">ShotHotspot.com<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you do decide that a destination wedding is right for you, congrats!
