Second, finding a perfect dress and last, but not the least important, discovering a perfect wedding location. Luckily, our planet is filled with such places, just waiting to get revealed. While there is nothing wrong with a winter holiday atmosphere surrounding your wedding, in order for it to be truly fairy-tale like, you need a tropical setting. With this in mind, here are top seven tropical wedding destinations you might want to take into consideration.
Jamaica
While Jamaica is famous for many things, one of this island’s strongest features is a wedding-tourism. This means that people all over the world travel far and wide in order to say ‘I do’ under the Jamaican sky. Precisely for this reason, you can seldom find a hotel in Jamaica without a wedding package in offer. Another thing you need to have in mind is that on this island, you have several different locations you can get married on. From crystal sand beaches and luxurious mansions to the metropolis that gave birth to the legendary Bob Marley.
Tahiti
When people think about a tropical destination, there is a 99 percent chance that they have Tahiti in mind. If there ever was a place that looks like heaven on earth, it would definitely be it. Some try to oversimplify and claim that Tahiti is just another tropical island like million others, but you will never hear a person who has actually been there say that. Finally, you can go a step further and get married in a traditional Polynesian wedding ceremony, making this entire experience even more unique.
Aruba
The third place on this list definitely goes to Aruba as a location with many different wedding venue ideas. To make things even better, Aruba has some of the world’s most dazzling landscapes, which can make your wedding photos truly unforgettable. Keep in mind, though, that a wedding in Aruba can cost an arm and a leg. However, according to those who had the privilege to get married in this tropical heaven, it’s worth every penny.
Katie from orlajames.com said “Aruba is definitely on the top of our list, in our minds nothing can compare, while it is pricey nothing a little budgeting and saving can’t fix.”
French Riviera
Now, while not in the tropical belt, French Riviera is a Mediterranean wedding hotspot (close enough) that is counted amongst some of the most beautiful in the world. You will definitely keep warm, even if not tropical. It also goes to prove that you don’t have to go off the mainland in order to get your perfect tropical wedding. There are only two problems with booking a venue for a wedding here. The first one is that when it comes to prices, expensive doesn’t even begin to describe it. The second thing is that during the season, you won’t be able to find available place even during a weekday. For this reason, either book way in advance or plan your wedding off-season.
