Real Weddings Abroad

Use the wedding ideas and experiences of others for your own benefit and inspiration.

One of the best ways to gain valuable information and advice about having your wedding abroad is to speak with other couples who had their weddings abroad.






Prior to our wedding in France I would have loved to have spoken with other couples who had been married in France. Any advice or information they could have given us would have been eagerly received.

The aim of the real weddings section is to allow you to get to know other couples who got married abroad.

I have chosen to feature couples who have paid extraordinary attention to detail. Couples who partnered with suppliers who offered value for money and met their own high standards, ensuring they had the wedding of their dreams.

These couples have kindly volunteered to share their stories and photographs of their wedding days with you. I am sure their beautiful weddings abroad will provide you with inspiration and ideas for your own wedding day.



As well as ideas and inspiration the real weddings abroad will provide you with the following:

• Honest first hand information and advice from couples who have had their weddings abroad, not from companies trying to sell you a wedding package or service
• Information on the wedding package, wedding planner or suppliers they used
• Personal recommendations for wedding suppliers
• Information on different wedding destinations
• Valuable local knowledge for different wedding locations
• How to communicate and negotiate with local suppliers
• How to overcome any obstacles and issues that may arise

• Be well prepared to plan a wedding abroad
• Save valuable time in organising your wedding abroad
• Know the best companies to use
• Avoid costly mistakes
• Ensure you are getting the best value for your money
• Confidently plan the wedding of your dreams
