Lower the Cost of a Destination Wedding
What are ways to lower the cost of a wedding?
We offer several cost-saving strategies for destination weddings that can also apply to local weddings:
1 - Substitute flower arrangements with candles for a beautiful ambiance. Additionally, flowers cannot be brought back through customs if it's a destination wedding.
2 - Wedding favors can be costly, especially depending on the number of guests, and many people don't take them home.
