Should you have bridesmaids when getting married abroad? The pros and cons

You’ll have so many exciting decisions to make when you decide to get married abroad – not least where you choose to do it! Once you’ve made up your mind and found a location that meets your needs, you can then craft your perfect wedding day. You might ask: should I still have bridesmaids when getting married in another country? This is a decision that many brides wrestle with, so let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons that you’ll need to weigh up.

Pros

It’s now easier than ever to have bridesmaids on your big day. The best foreign wedding locations are so accessible that’s it’s not really asking a lot for your best female friends to attend. Ultimately, you can make it as much like a wedding would be at home – only with stunning views and beautiful weather for everyone to enjoy!

In addition, the day will feel so special that you’ll be desperate to go home and tell people about how wonderful it was. Therefore, why not just cut out the middleman and make sure that your best friends are there to celebrate your big day as your bridesmaids? It could only add to things to have your nearest and dearest experience your fairy tale occasion.

Cons

Bridesmaids are an added expense that a lot of couples would prefer to avoid. Many people who choose to get married abroad do so because it’s significantly cheaper than doing it at home – with prices coming in as low as £210 if you opt for getting married in Gibraltar!

You can also add on the fact that it takes a certain level of hassle and organisation to have bridesmaids at your wedding.
