The Truth About Destination "Weddings"

21 October 2026 · 25 min

Shownotes

In this episode of The Wedding Editors Podcast, Yvonne Dixon is joined by travel expert Michelle Nerdin, founder of Sea Glass Travel, to explore everything couples need to know about planning their dream honeymoon or destination wedding.

With over a decade of experience creating tailor-made holidays, Michelle explains why honeymoon planning deserves just as much thought as the wedding itself, and how working with a travel specialist can save couples time, stress and potentially expensive mistakes.

Yvonne and Michelle discuss when to book your honeymoon, how to make your budget work harder, and why you don't need to spend a fortune or travel halfway around the world to create unforgettable memories.

You'll also discover how wedding guests can contribute towards your honeymoon, why Instagram-worthy destinations aren't always the right choice, and how personalised touches, from sunset dinners to memorable experiences, can make your trip truly special.

They also explore destination weddings, coordinating guest accommodation, the importance of appropriate financial protection, and why having a real person to contact when travel plans go wrong can make all the difference.

This episode is for any couple planning a honeymoon, considering getting married abroad, or simply wanting to enjoy the excitement of their wedding without adding another complicated task to their list.

Your day. Your way. Without the wedding planning stress.
