Don’t let these destination wedding myths be the reason you don’t have the wedding of your dreams! Here are four common misconceptions you shouldn’t take too seriously.

You Have to Get Married on The Beach

With destination weddings on the rise, the venue options are endless! While beach weddings are the most common option for destination weddings, couples are now opting for secret gardens with lush vegetation, sky terraces, piers, chapels, and more! Oh, and if you’re a bride who loves to wear heels, these venues make the strut down the aisle that much easier!

You’ll Have People Staring at You 

Considering you’ll have a variety of ceremony options, onlookers shouldn’t be much of a problem if that’s something you want to avoid. A sky terrace or garden setting can create a more intimate and private place for your ceremony. Have your heart set on a beach wedding? Then consider marrying during the week, which is considerably quieter than weekends or holidays. Keep in mind, very few resorts have private beach options, so take the onlooking as a compliment. After all, everyone loves seeing a beautiful bride on her wedding day!

Your Wedding Theme Has to be Beachy

A lot of modern brides have ditched the nautical décor for a theme that more accurately represents their personality. Whether it be dreamy and elegant, bohemian and romantic or something in between, there’s always a way to elevate a beach wedding. Most of our preferred resorts have entirely customizable wedding packages! The resort wedding coordinators are more than happy to bring your vision to life!

You’ll Need to Wear Your Hair Up

Don’t let the wind stop you from wearing your dream wedding hairstyle, ladies! A big misconception about destination weddings is that you shouldn’t wear your hair down or you need to ditch the veil because of the wind. And while this is a possibility, you can always choose a covered setting or an early morning wedding when the wind is at its calmest. Thinking of wearing it down but not interested in the veil? Then, consider a flower crown instead. Still very bridal and will help keep those strands in place!
