Most weddings of Swiss bridal couples take place in Switzerland and they dance and celebrate with their closest friends and families until the early hours of the morning. But should it really be a wedding in Switzerland, or are there also good reasons for a destination wedding? Why is this also an option for many bridal couples?
In this blog post, we would like to show you what good reasons there are for Swiss bridal couples to consider a destination wedding.
Venue
The choice of venues abroad is huge. As in Switzerland, there are countless beautiful venues to choose from in every country. Depending on the style and concept, many weddings are more likely to be realized abroad than in Switzerland. For example, if you are looking for a large vineyard, a manor house with grounds or a secluded beach. This is often easier to arrange abroad than in Switzerland. So if you can’t find the wedding venue of your dreams here in Switzerland, there’s a good chance that you can find the perfect wedding venue match abroad.
Family and friends:
As a destination wedding requires a slightly longer journey, some guests may not be able to attend the wedding. However, this has the advantage that the wedding becomes much more intimate and you only celebrate the wedding with your closest family and friends. The smaller the wedding party, the more personal the wedding often becomes and the more time you can spend with the individual guests. The bridal couples at destination weddings usually choose their guests very carefully and do not invite people they feel obliged to have with them. This also means that the wedding budget can be spent elsewhere.
Lots of time with your loved ones:
Most weddings in Switzerland last one day and the guests usually arrive on the same day as they return home. This is different for a destination wedding, as the journey to the venue is usually a little longer and therefore more time is spent there. Destination weddings usually include a welcome aperitif or dinner on the first evening before the wedding and a farewell reception on the day after the wedding. This means that the wedding day usually turns into a wedding weekend and you can spend even more time with your loved ones several days before and after the wedding.
Interactive experiences:
In addition to the wedding, it is a good idea for the wedding party to undertake activities together before or after the wedding. These can be experiences defined in advance by the bridal couple that are experienced together, but can also simply be tips for discovering the region. A destination wedding offers the perfect opportunity to explore the wedding destination more intensively and discover a new place.
Combination of the honeymoon:
In most cases, bridal couples use the country of the wedding venue directly to add on their honeymoon. This means there are no additional travel costs and the honeymoon can begin straight after the wedding. Or at least a few days of relaxation before heading back to Switzerland.
