Planning a destination wedding is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll ever take, but it’s also one that calls for precision, experience and a team you can trust. At The Bridal Consultant, we’ve been planning stunning weddings abroad for over 21 years. We’ve helped couples from the UK, Europe and Australia bring their dream wedding to life in some of the world’s most breathtaking international wedding venues.
This guide is here to help you navigate the planning process with clarity, confidence and luxury in mind. Whether you’re just beginning to dream or are ready to commit to a date, here’s everything you need to know.
The first step is location. Think beyond the postcard images. What matters is how the place feels. Does it match your style? Will your guests be comfortable travelling there? Is the setting worthy of your vision?
Whether you’re drawn to a cliffside chapel in Santorini, a romantic finca in Mallorca, or a beautiful sea view villa in Crete, your wedding venue should be both spectacular and practical. As experienced international wedding planners, we know the strengths and limitations of each location. We’ll guide you with honesty, and if your original idea isn’t quite right, we’ll find the perfect alternative.
Our handpicked international wedding venues are chosen for their beauty, quality of service and reliability. We only work with suppliers and venues that share our commitment to excellence.
Timing can make or break your destination wedding. While summer months may seem ideal, they can also bring intense heat, large crowds or seasonal price hikes. Consider shoulder seasons for a balance of good weather, fewer tourists and greater availability.
Every destination has its own rhythm. As your luxury wedding coordinator, we’ll help you understand the nuances of local weather, cultural events and legal requirements so there are no surprises.
Guest count has a direct impact on everything such as the venue options, budget and overall atmosphere. Are you envisioning an intimate affair with your closest loved ones, or a larger celebration over a few days?
Luxury weddings abroad often lean into intimacy and experience. Many couples choose a smaller group so they can truly indulge in the details. With fewer guests, you have more room to elevate every element – the food, the décor, the entertainment.
We help you build a guest experience that’s personal, seamless and unforgettable from the moment they receive the invite to the farewell brunch.
One of the most common misconceptions is that luxury destination weddings are always extravagant in cost. The truth is, they can be tailored to a wide range of budgets while still feeling high end.
We believe in transparency. There are no hidden costs when you book your wedding abroad with us. From the start, you’ll receive honest guidance and a clear idea of your overall costs through our carefully designed wedding packages. These packages give you a solid foundation and can then be tailored to suit your style and priorities, helping you plan with confidence, knowing where to spend and where to save, without ever compromising on quality.
Our couples typically invest between £20,000 and £40,000 for a mid-luxury celebration, allowing for a beautifully curated experience that feels both considered and unforgettable.
This is where the magic happens. The look, the feel, the mood, everything you imagined starts to take shape.
Our role as your luxury wedding coordinator is to translate your ideas into something tangible and elegant. We handle everything from floral design and tablescapes to lighting and logistics. Whether you’re dreaming of sunset ceremonies, candlelit dinners or modern boho chic, we bring the style and structure that ensure it all comes together beautifully.
We only work with trusted, professional suppliers who deliver consistently exceptional results. From photographers to musicians, caterers to stylists, your team will be the best in the business.
This is where having an experienced international wedding planner truly matters. With over two decades in the industry, we’ve planned weddings in a range of cultures, climates and settings. We understand what needs to happen and when, and we’re there at every turn.
You’ll have a dedicated planner who knows your venue inside out and is always just a call or message away. Need advice on how to word an invite? Want to rethink your ceremony layout? We’re here, not just as planners but as your confidante and friend throughout the journey.
And on the day itself, you won’t have to worry about a thing. We’ll be behind the scenes, coordinating every detail so you can focus on the moment.
A destination wedding isn’t just about the ceremony; it’s about creating memories that last for a lifetime. Many of our couples choose to make it a multi-day event with welcome dinners, excursions and post-wedding celebrations.
We help you build a full itinerary that reflects your personality and your destination. From private boat cruises to local wine tastings, your wedding can be more than a single event, it can be a full experience for you and your guests.
Planning a wedding abroad doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right team, it becomes a joyful, seamless and inspiring adventure. At The Bridal Consultant, we specialise in mid-luxury weddings that are rich in detail, beautiful in execution and tailored to you.
If you’re ready to begin your dream destination wedding, let us guide you every step of the way. From the first conversation to the final toast, we’ll make sure your wedding is everything you imagined and more.
