The term destination wedding means that the wedding will be held abroad or at a place other than the origin of the bride and groom. This type of marriage is becoming increasingly common among Brazilians who are realizing the wonder that it is the opportunity to combine marriage, guest travel and honeymoon in a city that grooms love.
Destination weddings to Europe are the most common wish, because the countries of the so-called? Old World? They house castles of rare ancient architecture to be found in Brazil and various services of high standard.
One of the challenges of hosting a destination wedding, according to Fernanda Silva, a pioneer in organizing this type of event for Brazilians, is to know and reconcile the local culture and the idiosyncrasies that the grooms have and translate as expectations regarding the details of the celebration, especially when it is held outside Brazil.
Destination Weddings of All Sizes and Budgets
Who first hears about destination weddings, especially when it is said that the wedding will be held outside Brazil, thinks that its realization is a distant dream of those who do not have abundant financial resources, but this is not true, because it is enough to adjust the postage of the ceremony.
A destination wedding can be a mini-wedding, held just for the bride and groom, an intimate gathering for a few guests or, for those with a larger budget, a grand party for many guests.
