What's the best way to pay for your dream wedding abroad?

Your wedding day ranks as one of the most memorable and exciting days of your life and now more and more of us are choosing to leave the unreliable British weather behind in favour of a wedding overseas. This is hardly surprising when the average wedding abroad costs £6,000, compared to a staggering £22,000 in the UK. As wonderful as planning your dream wedding is, it's up there as one of the most stressful experiences you can have!

So, once you have spent copious amounts of time researching your dream location, have chosen your colour scheme and made sure that warring relatives are seated at least one table apart, it’s down to the nitty gritty of paying your overseas venue and suppliers.

An easy way to make those payments is to use an international money transfer service such as FTT Global. This ensures you have a reliable and cost-effective way to pay your invoices - and one less thing to worry about!

Once you have registered with the company you can start making payments using your online account, and by doing this you will save you up to 4% on every booking you make compared with your bank. This means you will have more money to spend on making your day special rather than boosting the bank's profits!

How do I pay a supplier abroad?
It couldn't be easier. Your supplier will send you an invoice and provide you with their bank account details and the amount you need to pay in the currency they require. All you have to do is:

  • Tell FTT Global the amount of currency you need to buy
  • They will let you know how much you will need to send them to buy this amount 
  • They will email you their bank account details so you can transfer your currency to them
  • When they receive your funds and send them out, you will receive a confirmation email to keep you in the loop. You can even tell them your supplier's email address and we'll let them know when your payment is on its way to them

If you would like further information on sending money abroad to pay suppliers for your wedding overseas, contact Tazmin Eldridge at FTT Global on 020 3603 8940 or email support@fttglobal.com.

Discovering Wedding Locations in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy

Day 1 A 4.30am start was not the easiest, especially after arriving at Birmingham airport the plane to Venice developed technical trouble and was delayed by a few hours. I was travelling to Cortina D'Ampezzo, a town in the Italian Dolomite mountains a couple of hours north of Venice, to discover if this area, popular for winter and summer sports, would make a good wedding destination. Eventually the flight did take off and I arrived in Venice three hours late, but still in time to catch the express bus to town. Arriving in Cortina at 4pm I had missed the briefing on the history of the town, but was still able to meet a local wedding planner, Annette Gottman , who knows the area intimately and has arranged many weddings. Annette is primarily a herbalist and flower expert, but her expertise also works well for events. She showed me some beautiful pictures of ceremonies she had created and talked about the ceremony she was arranging for that Saturday at the beauti...
