There’s something quietly radical about choosing a wedding that feels like you.
No production schedule. No 200-person guest list. No “shoulds.”
Just love, location, and a sense of presence you can feel.
It’s no surprise that more couples are stepping away from the traditional wedding playbook in favor of something more uniquely them—an experience that reflects their values, their style, and their story. And increasingly, they’re finding that in the form of a destination wedding.
Recent data shows that 1 in 5 couples now opt for a destination wedding, according to The Knot’s 2024 Real Weddings Study. The shift isn’t just about the setting—it’s about the freedom to celebrate in a way that feels true to you. With fewer obligations and more intention, these weddings often become the most cherished moments of the entire journey.
The New Luxury: Connection Over Convention
In the world of mindful travel, luxury isn’t always about opulence.
It’s about feeling cared for, grounded, and seen.
And when it comes to weddings, that means stripping away the excess and focusing on what truly matters—celebrating your love in a place that moves you, surrounded by the people who matter most.
That’s why the average guest list for destination weddings is smaller—usually 30 to 50 guests, compared to over 115 for traditional weddings. But with that intimacy comes depth: more quality time, more connection, and more presence.
Couples today are also spending more mindfully, directing their budgets toward experience-rich elements like boutique accommodations, wellness-focused welcome events, and destination-inspired details. A Brides x Minted survey found that 72% of couples prioritize personalization and guest experience over tradition.
Maybe that means saying your vows barefoot on a quiet stretch of sand in Bali.
Maybe it’s an olive grove in the Tuscan hills, where the scent of rosemary mingles with sunset wine toasts.
Or maybe it’s somewhere bold and unexpected that reflects your shared sense of curiosity, creativity, and freedom.
Whatever your vision, the destination should support your experience, not overwhelm it.
For the Couple Who Craves Something Different
You’re not being difficult for wanting something more personal.
You’re not selfish for dreaming of an elopement with just your inner circle.
You’re simply brave enough to question the status quo.
And that’s something I deeply respect.
Many of the couples I work with tell me the same thing: they wanted something unique, but also seamless. They didn’t want to feel like project managers, or guests at their own wedding. They wanted to be present. They wanted peace. They wanted to feel like the celebration reflected their relationship, not someone else’s expectations.
That’s where destination weddings shine. They offer the space to celebrate meaningfully, joyfully, and on your own terms.
And with international weddings rebounding strongly post-pandemic—especially in dream destinations like Italy, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Greece—the timing has never been better to plan something unforgettable.
