Destination Weddings in the Caribbean Islands

The tropical Caribbean Islands are a dreamlike wedding destination. Caribbean marriages are filled with celebration, music and excellent food, all with a background of stunning natural beauty. The bride will wear a white dress, and the groom traditionally chooses a black suit. The location of the ceremony will be decked out in beautiful tropical flowers which you can also weave into your hair. Outdoor weddings are popular, as are church ceremonies.

Caribbean wedding cakes are distinctive and delicious, drenched in rum and packed with fruit and nuts. Guests at wedding receptions are usually presented with favors, and these are often small trinkets marked with the couples names and the date of the wedding.

Caribbean culture is vibrant and unique, blending a huge number of influences from all over the world. You will see ancient Spanish colonial buildings in Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the British left a lasting impression on the Bermudan way of life. Add to this a strong African feel and a myriad of indigenous peoples, and the resultant mixture is fascinating, particularly in the large cities. Music is an essential part of life in the Caribbean, and the visual arts also flourish. Colorful handcrafts are a popular purchase, and many sculptors and painters from the region are gaining an international reputation.

The romance of a Caribbean sunset, after a day spent relaxing on a white sand beach, is difficult to match. For a taste of adventure, Cuba and Puerto Rico both have caves and underground rivers to discover, plus some stunning mountains. What better way to uncover the Caribbean than to celebrate your marriage here?
