Unveiling the Overseas Wedding Myths: Unlock the Secrets to a Romantic and High-Value Destination Wedding!
For those envisioning an overseas wedding, do you ever think, 'Oh my, overseas weddings must be incredibly expensive! But is it true that overseas weddings are extravagantly expensive and troublesome? Today, ALUXE is here to chat with you about overseas weddings. Apart from debunking myths surrounding them, we hope to offer some insights for soon-to-be-weds to consider. Stay tuned for a fresh perspective on the reality of overseas weddings!
Overseas Wedding Myth #1: Overseas Weddings are Expensive
Friends who have had overseas weddings are probably frequently asked upon their return, "How much did your wedding cost?" There's a common misconception that overseas weddings are exorbitantly expensive. However, the reality is that organizing a simple overseas wedding typically costs around 120,000 to 150,000 NTD, and even for something a bit more elaborate, it can usually be managed within 300,000 NTD.
Moreover, the marriage ceremony itself abroad lasts approximately 15-20 minutes, and with wedding photo shoots, it might take up half a day at most. The remaining time can be spent on a honeymoon with your spouse or exploring the destination with family and friends. It's a cost-effective and delightful experience!
Overseas Wedding Myth #2: Overseas Weddings Require a Lot of Preparation
Planning a wedding involves concerns about the venue, banquet, bridal styling, wedding photography, and consulting with wedding planners. It can be quite hectic. So, isn't it more troublesome and challenging to do this in a foreign country where you are unfamiliar with the surroundings? Dear friends, don't think that way. Nowadays, some travel agencies collaborate with overseas wedding consultants, making it easy to handle all these details at once. You can leave the hassles to the overseas wedding organizers, and in about a month or so, everything can be taken care of. All you need to do is visit the consultation center, provide your information and preferences, choose a church, gown, hairstyle, and the rest is about relaxing and looking forward to your wedding combined with a little honeymoon!
Pros #1: Having the wedding abroad allows for beautiful pre-wedding photos! Popular overseas wedding destinations include Guam, Hawaii, Okinawa, Australia, Bali, and Japan. The churches in these locations provide a dreamy backdrop for wedding photos, saving both money and effort.
Pros #2: There are numerous all-inclusive wedding planners, eliminating the need to compete for a makeup artist, bridal gown, or photographer. You also won't have to transport your wedding gown on the plane, making it ideal for busy or simply laid-back couples.
Pros #3: No need to send out obligatory invitations to everyone you know. Due to venue and travel constraints, you can invite only close friends and family, avoiding awkward encounters with acquaintances. However, if the couple has a large social circle, the limited guest count might be considered a drawback.
Cons: Opting for a wedding package means relinquishing control over every detail. For brides with a strong vision and a penchant for perfection, it might not be the most suitable choice.
