"While these countries are going through economic difficulties they remain popular as they are picturesque, relatively easy to get to and most often have better weather than you would get in the UK," said Ursula Barzey, Marketing Director, Weddings Abroad & Honeymoons.

"Also, whereas a wedding in the UK will cost on average around £20,000, a wedding at one of these destinations will be around £6,500 so quite a savings for a new couple starting out."
