Globetrotters and wanderlust couples will find it difficult to resist the allure of including a little bit of travel in their special day. If you've always wanted a destination wedding but time, distance or money has prevented it, you can always bring a little bit of the world in through the styling of your reception and ceremony. Perhaps a trip to Europe has left you enamoured with rich delicacies or traipsing through the Middle East has you lusting after ornate lanterns and patterned rugs. If, as they say, Muhammed won't come to the mountain, bring your love of travel to wherever you and your partner are.

Find your escape...

If you can't have your wedding on the beach, it's a great idea to incorporate beautiful elements of the ocean in your wedding styling. Take a walk along your favourite beach with your partner to collect shells and stones that you can use in decorating reception tables.

Perhaps a touch of the Orient or a Tuscan sunset will be the inspiration to your reception styling. Think of the little things like fabrics, lanterns and natural elements that will help transport your guests to a distant place.
