Why Should You Consider Getting Married Abroad?
Are you dreaming of exchanging vows on a pristine beach rather than in a traditional venue? Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular for couples seeking guaranteed sunshine and unique experiences. Getting married abroad offers several advantages: it seamlessly combines your wedding and honeymoon, creates an intimate multi-day celebration with close friends and family, and provides stunning natural backdrops for memorable photos.
Exotic locations like Curaçao's white sandy beaches, Morocco's Selman Resort, or Italy's Casa Angelina offer breathtaking settings. While organizing requires attention to legal requirements (consult your embassy and register in Belgium upon return), modern planning tools make the process manageable.
Though costs vary by location, the unforgettable experience of incorporating local traditions into your ceremony creates lasting memories. When selecting wedding rings for your destination wedding, BAUNAT offers high-quality natural diamond rings, handcrafted in Antwerp to symbolize your unique love story.

Why Consider Getting Married Abroad?
Undoubtedly, open-air weddings are becoming increasingly trendy. However, even summer weddings can't promise a sunny day in Belgium. For a guaranteed sun-drenched wedding day, look no further than getting married abroad.
A wedding abroad can seamlessly transition into a honeymoon, offering a stunning start to your conjugal life. This is particularly ideal for couples who initially met abroad. With the rising trend of inter-nationality marriages, getting married abroad has become an intimate and personal affair. These intimate ceremonies often involve only the closest friends and family and provide an opportunity to commemorate the wedding for several days.
Exquisite & Unique Locations for Weddings Abroad
There's an array of unique locations with untouched natural beauty worldwide, offering an incredibly romantic setting for your wedding. Let's delve into three of them:
- Dreams Curaçao Resort: This resort’s pristine white sandy beaches, expansive ocean, and scrumptious cocktails make it an ideal wedding location. In fact, many resorts now offer packages that include a beach wedding.
- Selman Resort: Nestled in Marrakeck, the Selman Resort is a breathtaking place to get married and enjoy a rejuvenating holiday. This exclusive emphasis on wellness, complemented with various detox packages, is truly remarkable.
- Casa Angelina: Casa Angelina on the Italian Amalfi coast is also an excellent option. You'll be captivated by the mesmerizing blue ocean and the enchanting mountains by the backdrop. The hotel, built completely in white, resembles the aesthetic beauty of Santorini.
Navigating Wedding Traditions Abroad
Embracing and understanding different cultural traditions is part of the allure of getting married abroad. Some cultures offer fascinating wedding traditions, some of which do not involve the exchange of wedding rings.
African, Asian, and European nations harbor diverse and rich cultural wedding traditions. From dowries in Africa to parent-approved matchmaking in China, and specific unwritten rules in Europe, getting married abroad opens a world of cultural exploration.
Is Getting Married Abroad Legal?
Getting married abroad is certainly legal, provided you fulfill the necessary administrative requirements. It's recommended to contact the embassy or consulate in good time. If you decide to conduct the entire event abroad, do remember to have your wedding recognized and registered in Belgium upon your return.
What’s the Cost of Getting Married Abroad?
Getting married abroad incurs costs depending on your chosen location. For instance, an untouched beach in southern Spain is definitely more affordable than a Caribbean Island, and the food you choose to serve also plays a role. It’s typically expected that the bridal couple covers the costs for their guests.
Organising a Wedding Celebration Abroad
Organizing a wedding celebration abroad might seem daunting initially. However, modern solutions, such as the Bridebook app, make it easier with handy to-do lists and guest list management features.
One of the captivating benefits of getting married abroad is the unique locations for wedding photos. The picturesque landscapes, be it vineyards in France, Italy, or the Norwegian fjords, are sure to create impressive wedding photos.
