Planning and perfectly executing a wedding locally is a massive undertaking and challenge. So naturally, the complexities only increase when planning a destination wedding.
London is the perfect historical yet urban wedding destination. However, planning a wedding here is no easy task. Hiring various vendors, travelling, managing all expenses, and entertaining your guests, necessitate great care and effort.
Fortunately, with the pointers listed in this brief guide on having a memorable destination wedding in London, your wedding will be an absolute success.
Know the legal aspects involved
In the UK, there is a minimum 7-day residency requirement for foreign couples wanting to have a civil ceremony. Additionally, they must factor in 28 days to receive the paperwork giving them the go ahead for their ceremony.
Moreover, couples cannot file for paperwork without finalizing a wedding venue. So, a few visits to London may be required. London Zoo, the Roof Gardens, One Canada Square, and Horniman Museums and Gardens are all amazing wedding venues.
If this wait isn’t ideal for you, consider having a simple and small legal ceremony in your country before having your dream destination wedding.
Using time efficiently
During your visits, you can begin finalizing the various vendors necessary to make a wedding memorable. Hire caterers, photographers, the band/DJ, hair and makeup artist, baker, florist, etc.
You can narrow down wedding flowers online using the search terms wedding flowers near me, which provide lists of top rated and reviewed local florists. Doing so will help you save time and effort.
To book your venue, you may have to visit nearly a year before your wedding, hence planning accordingly is necessary. Vendors should be hired a few months in advance.
Pick your favourite landmarks
From the Thames to the Big Ben and Buckingham Palace to the Tower Bridge, London is home to many stunning and globally renowned landmarks that can be the perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs. You can hire a minibus and visit them with your wedding party to create some unforgettable memories.
The taste of traditions
Since you are in England you can choose to have your caterer serve some authentic English recipes or you can go with any cuisine you prefer, as most cuisines are easily available in London. We highly recommend using this information to make your destination wedding in London a memorable event.
