Many people like to do their weddings differently. Every person’s big day should be unique.
Couples aren’t always resistant to flexibility either. At the start of the year, they were getting married on weekdays to dodge the covid backlog. An open-minded approach can work wonders, and plans don’t always need to stay the same.
Spain is another trend that’s making waves among spouses-to-be. It’s become a popular wedding destination for many reasons. We’ve listed 3 of them below.
Bridged Services
Though your big day is in Spain and you’re open to fresh experiences, there will still be parts of the UK you wish to bring along with you. Whether it’s your loved ones or certain keepsakes, there is always a clash of the old with the new with destination weddings.
Some services are based in the UK and Spain and can make your wedding day special. Their familiarity with both countries will ensure you get the best service possible, knowing what it is that UK couples specifically look for. They will also be tuned into your cultural references and have plenty of experience bridging these gaps.
CG Weddings, a wedding photographer based in Marbella, understands this well. CG Weddings have years of experience, which has allowed them to learn how wedding photographers in Spain approach things differently with photo delivery times and limited availability windows compared to their UK counterparts. Though a Spanish wedding photographer, they have years of experience ensuring UK couples get the wedding photo service they expect.
Cultural Excitement
Of course, the difference between countries isn’t to be looked down on. Many parts of Spanish culture embolden a wedding day beyond compare.
Spain is teeming with carnivals and fiestas. There’s music and dancing up and down the country, especially if couples plan their big day in late March to early April. This is when Semana Santa in Seville and the Holy Week in Malaga occur. If there’s one thing the Spanish know how to do, it’s how to celebrate in style!
There’s no denying that Spain has a more exuberant party-like atmosphere surging through it at all times. They go all-out and hold their traditions dear. Many spouses would consider it an honour for their nuptials to take place alongside such times, giving their celebrations a more special and unique flare.
Remember, many people try to make their wedding as unique as possible, but end up planning something generic. Events transpiring in a popular wedding destination can do much of that work for you, creating truly memorable occasions by UK standards.
Scenic Locations
Many destination weddings have a longer, adventurous aspect to them. Some nuptials take place over several days rather than one afternoon and evening.
Much of that time is reserved for exploration. Though some parts of Spain are yet to be explored by UK tourists, the unknown can play into that thrilling sense of adventure. There are many scenic locations in Spain, all able to serve as an exquisite backdrop for your special day or days.
From golden wedding beaches to dramatic cliff faces and towering medieval structures, there’s a diverse range of sights to see in Spain. A selection of these settings will likely double as wedding venues in their own right, too, so an unforgettable experience surely awaits.
