In my 15 years of writing about weddings, I’ve learned that the cost of a destination wedding depends very much on location, guest lists and styling. But in all of that time I’ve never had a detailed insight into all of the factors which can affect costs of getting married abroad. Today, that changed! I’ve been reading a fabulous article by Michelle Jacobs (luxury destination wedding planner) which really explains everything you should consider when you’re weighing up the relative costs of UK or destination weddings. (Read How much do destination weddings cost? The 7 deciding factors here.)

Would it surprise you to know I often choose the weddings I feature based on a groom’s outfit? Of course I look for styling details and amazing flowers and dresses and decor – but if I see a groom wearing a fabulously fitting, bespoke tailored or really individual suit then I just know the entire wedding will be a beauty.
I do think grooms are overlooked by the wedding media. That’s unfair: not all weddings have a bride. And when they do, why is it the norm for brides to spend thousands on their outfits, and grooms only a fraction of that?!* Happily I’ve seen lots of weddings this last year with amazingly dressed grooms who’ve been equally as committed to planning their weddings as brides!
