Overseas weddings back in vogue
20/08/2008
An increasing number of British couples are opting for an exotic wedding overseas, research reveals.
According to the latest findings from Halifax Travel Insurance, with more hotels overseas offering competitive wedding packages, getting married abroad has become more accessible to many couples looking for something a little different for their big day.
In addition, the current trend of celebrities choosing to tie the knot abroad is providing inspiration for brides and grooms-to-be, who want a less traditional yet glamorous affair.
Spokesperson for Halifax Vicky Watson said: "Destination weddings are increasing in popularity as the likes of Coleen and Wayne and now Peaches and her husband opt for such a thing.
"The choice of location both of these celebrity couples made featured in our research proving that a wedding abroad is something many of us think and dream about."
Las Vegas is set to make a comeback as one of the most popular overseas wedding venues this year, following the shock marriage of Peaches Geldof in Sin City.
