Destination Weddings in VanuatuVanuatu is a collection of 80 tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean, a beautiful wedding location. Traditionally, the bridal party at a wedding in Vanuatu will arrive by canoe, their arrival heralded by blowing of shells or the romantic melodies of a string band. Music is an extremely important part of life in Vanuatu and is always an element of special occasions on the islands.
Your guests will wear garlands made from colorful flowers or from shells, and you have the choice between traditional wedding attire or bright sarongs. Perhaps you would prefer a white wedding dress and a suit for the ceremony, changing into sarongs for the evening celebrations.
The people of Vanuatu are very welcoming and are justifiably proud of their home. Vanuatu features stunning beaches, clear blue waters, rain forests, mountains and some of the most spectacular underwater scenery in the world. Virtually all the attractions of Mele Bay, for example, are beneath the water's surface - caves, tunnels, coral reefs, underwater holes, shipwrecks and much more. Diving and snorkeling are naturally highly popular here.
Vanuatu presents a blend of cultures, and over 100 languages are spoken by its inhabitants. Common cultural expressions are rock and body painting. Port Vila, on Efate Island, is an excellent base from which to explore some of the other isles. It also has many attractions of its own: a harbor, waterfront markets, a French Quarter, Chinatown and world-class restaurants.
Pentecost Island is another popular location for diving, and it has some lovely cocoa and kava plantations. Another feature of the island is the aptly named Hotwata where you will find hot springs. Mountainous Erromango Island is also recommended, both for its pristine beaches and for its verdant rain forests.
Vanuatu is a tropical paradise whose attractions are numerous. The welcoming atmosphere of the islands and a backdrop of superbly romantic scenery will make your wedding day in Vanuatu unforgettable. |
