Wedding decors are essential, we all know that. Floral arrangements, bright lights and chandeliers, all pour in to form the perfect wedding decor like you imagined. but here’s the thing, when you’re having a destination wedding, it’s for a reason. It’s because of the destination, the sea waves crashing on the beach, the serene feel of the mountains and hills. Why decorate your surroundings so heavily that it overwhelms the natural beauty of the destination? Go for minimal decor, less flower at key locations that add to the beauty. If it’s a night ceremony, choose tea lights and fairy lights that merge well with the night mood. You can ask your friends and family to arrange and set up the decor. This not only lowers the price of paying men but also gets everybody in a fun mood to interact and indulge.

Wedding date
