Just picture planning a romantic wedding on a white-sand beach or in a historic city. But there\u2019s a few things to consider before diving into those dreamy wedding plans\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You need to ask the right questions\u2014who can attend? What will the price be for guests? Will the wedding interrupt other holiday plans? To help you out, we\u2019ve narrowed down the pros and cons of planning a destination wedding during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Weighing the location options is difficult at best.

Your client can enjoy the time away from home!<\/p>\n<p>Especially during a harsh or rainy winter, it\u2019s exciting to get away from your everyday surroundings for the holidays. Your clients will be captivated by the countless activities they\u2019ll get to plan!<\/p>\n<h3>Family Gathering<\/h3>\n<p>The opportunity to bring family together is a significant pro for planning a destination wedding during the holiday season. Your client\u2019s family can relax, unwind, and celebrate the marriage altogether!<\/p>\n<p>Hosting a wedding over the holidays also promotes family values, like the importance of spending time together. Plus, it lets both families get to know each other. A perfect chance for everyone to spend time together as one big family!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10686\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_293482145-1edit.jpg\" alt=\"Planning a destination wedding and choosing a wedding location\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_293482145-1edit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_293482145-1edit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A Picturesque Background<\/h3>\n<p>A big draw in planning destination weddings is the opportunity to take stunning photographs. Even the best wedding photographer can\u2019t replicate a Venetian sunset or an adventurous photo on the Cliffs of Dover.<\/p>\n<p>Heading to your client\u2019s dream location will satisfy that travel bug. As many people travel during the holidays <em>anyways<\/em>, it can gives their guests a new site to explore. And hey, they\u2019ll probably make an awesome holiday card from the photos!<\/p>\n<h3>An Intimate Wedding<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no lie that destination weddings generally have a lower guest turnout, and the holiday season could impact your list in a positive or negative way.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019ll look at the pros of a smaller holiday ceremony:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More face-to-face time as newlyweds<\/li>\n<li>Less nerves!<\/li>\n<li>More time to socialize with each guest<\/li>\n<li>Less costly\u2014although this can\u2019t be guaranteed!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot more advantages to a smaller wedding. Keeping the guest list short is tricky, but it will relieve the stress of big wedding plans, especially during this busy season!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cons\"><\/span>The Cons:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Weather Patterns<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"449\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10687\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_318486728-1-edit.jpg\" alt=\"Destination wedding planning and rainy wedding photograph\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_318486728-1-edit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_318486728-1-edit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether your clients are dreaming of a quaint winter-themed wedding or a sunny outdoor ceremony, be sure to check the weather patterns!<\/p>\n<p>You need to be prepared and, unfortunately, Mother Nature isn\u2019t always the most forgiving force. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/passports\/en\/emergencies\/natural-disasters\/HurricaneSeason.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Storm season<\/a> does exist<\/em>. You don\u2019t want guests showing up to the reception drenched to the bone!<\/p>\n<p>A downside of destination weddings is the fact that weather is unpredictable. A small shift in the wind can take a toll on your plans!<\/p>\n<p>For weather patterns in <a href=\"http:\/\/worldweather.wmo.int\/en\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other countries<\/a>, the World Meteorological Organization shows trends on a monthly basis. Have a look at past weather in your possible locations. It might hinder you from planning a wedding during this time of the year!<\/p>\n<h3>Leaving People Behind<\/h3>\n<p>The holidays can be tough\u2014even more so for family members who can\u2019t make it to the wedding!<\/p>\n<p>Not only will they be missing one of the most important days of your clients\u2019 lives, but they\u2019ll feel left out and let down. If a lot of guests can\u2019t attend, advise your clients to nix their destination plans and hold the wedding closer to home during the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: planning a honeymoon is an added benefit of getting married. Don\u2019t let clients be too broken-hearted if their destination wedding flops\u2026send them to their dream location <em>after <\/em>the big day!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15984\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-49.jpg\" alt=\"bridesmaids having fun on the day of the wedding\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-49.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Event-in-post-135x135-49-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Wedding Party Worry<\/h3>\n<p>Choosing the wedding party is one of the most important decisions for your client\u2019s big day. But what do you do when their childhood best friend can\u2019t get time off work? Or their siblings can\u2019t afford to take a vacation?<\/p>\n<p>We know, we know\u2014it\u2019s your client\u2019s day and they have the final say. But be mindful that their loved ones want to be there! And, as we\u2019ve said before, the holidays are tough!<\/p>\n<p>Even for a wedding at home, assuming the bridesmaids can all attend causes tension and stress for everyone. Proper planning and notice might be able to lessen that anxiety. Still, faraway plans can put the wedding party between a rock and a hard place.<\/p>\n<p>So before finalizing those holiday wedding plans, make sure the date and location are accessible. Don\u2019t make guests choose between family and friends!<\/p>\n<h3>Expenses<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10688\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_394328110-edit.jpg\" alt=\"Bridesmaids and wedding party with bride at destination wedding\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_394328110-edit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_394328110-edit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all feel a pinch in our wallets around the holidays, but giving gifts is something we look forward to! So don\u2019t expect guests to put their holiday budget aside just to attend your client\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of attending a wedding can add up. Between travel, accommodations, formal wear, and a thoughtful wedding gift you\u2019re looking at a big investment! On top of all that, there\u2019s much more for your clients and your guests to sort out to attend a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/12\/destination-weddings-in-the-winter-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding in a different country<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You need to be mindful of how costly the holiday season can be. It might be easier for guests to send well wishes rather than shelling out to attend!<br \/>\nAnd if none of these factors put a dent in your client\u2019s destination dreams, then have at it! We want you to plan the wedding your client has always imagined. After all, the big day is about <em>them<\/em>! They\u2019ll have plenty of holidays to come with the new family!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>More determined than ever?
