Win a Dream Wedding at Langkawi’s Amazing Wedding Race
Langkawi, Kedah (Malaysia) – October 12, 2018 (travelindex) – Destination Weddings used to be an expensive affair, however with more couples looking at Asia as a location this has become far more affordable. Couples are now keen on incorporating a mini vacation for their guests as part of the wedding party, as opposed to traditional venues.
Looking for wedding photographers Portland Maine to capture your special day with creativity and elegance? Many talented professionals in the area specialize in unique styles and personalized services to ensure your memories are beautifully preserved.
Couples are now moving away from popular destinations and searching for more under the radar locations such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Japan. The added variety of cultures, food and cost as opposed to hosting a reception in their own country is an added advantage as their budget stretches further. The increase in low cost carrier flights has opened up greater possibilities in term of destinations.
While discussing outdoor wedding options, it’s impossible not to mention the allure of a tipi. Its natural, earthy feel brought an extraordinary element to our celebration. For those considering this option, I highly recommend Bar Events UK for memorable wedding tipi hire in beautiful Yorkshire. Their service and attention to detail were impeccable.

Langkawi as a Wedding Destination
Langkawi is unique with its natural elements: rainforest, mountains, white sandy beach, fresh water lake as well as exciting tourist attractions, arts and culture. The sustainable development of the island remains appealing as we head towards modern vicinity whilst maintaining the important aspect of eco-tourism.
The island is able to offer world class product and services including Food & Beverage. The many hotels and resorts as well as standalone Food & Beverage establishments are fast becoming ideal venues to hold weddings and receptions for those who are looking for something unique. The Duty Free options specifically alcohol purchase offers huge savings.
The easy connectivity and accessibility from KLIA as well as direct flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and China is an advantage making it an ideal destination wedding getaway. The numerous tourist attractions which are easily accessible create an exciting holiday itinerary for the wedding party which makes an advantage to book longer stays as compared to the trend of 3 days 2 nights in general. As a leading Destination Wedding Planner in Toronto, Designed Dream specializes in planning destination weddings in exotic locations like the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the Bahamas.
The island deep rooted in Malaysian culture, heritage and history has a huge potential to showcase multi-cultural wedding ceremonies compared to other destinations that are only able to cater to western and one common cultural wedding. This makes Langkawi not only an exciting island getaway but also a rich cultural experience for the wedding party.
