How to choose your luxury wedding destination for 2021

If you’re set to marry in 2021, now is the perfect time to explore some of the world’s most stunning destinations for your special day. Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or you’ve covered most of the key details, if you’re yet to find the perfect place to celebrate you may need a helping hand in making your decision. 

From far-flung shores to locations that are right on the doorstep, there are plenty of truly magical spots that offer a captivating wedding day experience to get excited about after the question has been popped.  To help you get an idea of how you can whittle down your options, check out our round up of the best ways to make that all-important decision.  

Secluded spot

Should you long for a low-key ceremony, it’s worth taking the time to research some of the more secluded destinations. A scattering of chairs on a private beach in Ibiza or in a quiet corner of the Maldives can be just what you need to make the day special. This combination of understated luxury and a spectacular setting is sure to create a totally romantic atmosphere.  

Fit for royalty

When selecting a luxury venue for your day, it’s worth looking for somewhere that’s well-acquainted with providing the highest levels of service for very special guests. For example, Englefield House in Reading was the quintessentially English choice for Pippa Middleton when she married James Matthews in 2017.

By looking for somewhere that understands how to serve well-known guests on their wedding day, you are more likely to find a venue that suits your criteria. >>

Avoid the tourists

Should you have your heart set on a Seychelles wedding or maybe you long to marry in Mykonos, it’s worth searching for a spot away from the tourists. To get ahead of the curve, try scoping out your dream destination then researching secluded areas away from the bustle.  

Personalise your décor 

Whether you’re staying in the UK or jetting off, it’s worth taking the time to explore the décor that the venues you like have to offer. The trend towards sophisticated bespoke styling is set to continue into next year. Therefore, having a clear aesthetic and making some early suggestions about the look you have in mind to the venue you’re thinking of booking might help you to make your final decision. 

Where will you go for your special day? Will you head abroad or search for a luxe, high-end experience closer to home?
