Destination weddings becoming more popular for Brits
14 May 2012
Foreign countries are growing in popularity among British couples looking for the perfect location for their wedding, according to research by confetti.co.uk.
The website released a report suggesting that one in ten couples are planning to marry abroad this year or in 2013, despite ongoing financial constraints and economic problems at home.
Findings from a study of more than 5,000 brides-to-be found that Europe is the most popular region for overseas weddings, followed by the Caribbean, the United States/Canada, Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Nearly two-thirds (61%) of respondents said they will host a second ceremony in the UK to celebrate with a wider circle of family and friends.
Confetti.co.uk weddings expert Joanne Diggle said one of the big benefits of getting married in a foreign country for some people is saving money.
'For many, hosting their big day abroad means that they can have the beautiful and romantic wedding of their dreams but on a much smaller scale, which is a big help towards saving costs,' she said.
