Southern California Weddings
Certainly, one of the most interesting wedding trends in recent years has been the destination wedding. Bridal couples enjoy treating their families and friends to vacations in various lovely corners of the world. For many brides and grooms, tropical locales are the hottest wedding destinations around.
Here’s a list of the top five tropical wedding locations in the world:
Bahama Dreams
The Bahamas are considered to be the perfect wedding destination for many people. The country is made up of more than 700 lovely islands. There, you can relish in some of the most luxurious accommodations in the Caribbean, while also enjoying the natural beauty of Bahamian beaches.
Dancing in the Dominican Republic
You’ll enjoy dancing the night away with your new spouse in the Dominican Republic. It’s a pleasure spot filled with both impressive mountain peaks and beaches overflowing with palm trees. Punta Cana in particular is considered to be a prime wedding spot for American couples.
The Caribbean Marvel
The Caribbean is a splendid location for a wedding. For instance, you can say your “I Do’s” along the sandy heart-shaped beach in Megan’s Bay which overlooks the lovely Caribbean Sea in St. Thomas. Or you can exchange vows in a historic palace with a tremendous harbor view.
A Bermuda Romance
Certainly, one of the best romantic wedding getaways is Bermuda. There, you’ll find amazing rolling hills, quaint sugar plantations, and an incredible Atlantic surf. It’s also quite convenient, since it’s less than a two-hour flight from most cities on the East Coast.
Electrifying Cancun
If you’re looking for a tropical locale with plenty of energy, consider Cancun. This Mexican mecca features a fast-paced nightlife, sandy beaches, and stellar dining. Chances are, you’ll want to return there again and again during your life as a married couple.
Some Final Thoughts
When planning your tropical wedding, you need to be realistic. Be sure to find out the seasons when the weather is likely to be best for your nuptials. Also, consider whether you can really afford to host a wedding in an exotic locale. For less exotic tropical venues, try looking around in the San Diego area to see if a San Diego wedding is right for you. However, if you have the means to do it, a tropical wedding may be one of the most exciting experiences of your life.
