Destination Weddings in BermudaBermudan weddings are popularly held outside, thanks to the warm climate of the island, whose temperatures rarely drop below 68°C, even in the winter months. Bermuda is a wonderful country, whose culture is a unique mixture of British and African influences. A popular tradition at weddings is for the newly married couple to take a horse and buggy ride from the ceremony to the reception.
In Bermuda, the bride and the groom have separate wedding cakes! The bride's will be topped with silver leaves, and will have a small cedar sapling on top. This is replanted after the ceremony to symbolize the growth of the couple's love. The groom's cake, which stands beside it, is topped with gold leaf to signify prosperity.
Bermuda is a tranquil island with superb beaches and small towns which exude a period charm. The bustling capital, Hamilton, has a neo-Gothic cathedral, and bright, pastel-colored buildings line the harbor front. A visit to Fort Hamilton which stands on a hilltop, offers you a bird's eye view of the harbor.
The first capital of Bermuda was St. George, today an unspoiled town which has many fascinating museums and perfectly preserved buildings from the colonial era. The oldest building in Bermuda - the Old State House which was built in 1620 - is found here. St. George overlooks a harbor and has a fine bay popular with for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling.
The romance of the island's beaches, especially in the South Shore Park area, is hard to equal. Pink and white coral sands are warmed by the sun and lapped quietly by turquoise waves. A wedding in Bermuda, surrounded by natural beauty, is an unforgettable experience. |
