Top 5 Overseas Wedding Destinations
Palm trees swaying in the breeze, bright blue skies and crystal blue seas. Bliss. Chuck in some gorgeous weather, cool wedding attire and a nicely pruned guest list and you can see why getting hitched abroad is so popular.
But where to go? According to overseas wedding experts, Tropical Sky (www.tropicalsky.co.uk), the Caribbean still rules. Barbados is the top choice, with St. Lucia grabbing the runner-up spot.
Commercial director, Steve Garley, says, “It’s no surprise to see these Caribbean destinations remain top of the charts as the islands are easy to get to and have great weather.” However, he notes that “…there are some destinations sneaking in to take the crown, for example New York weddings are increasing in popularity. Alternative beach destinations are also seeing a massive rise in bookings.”
If you’re looking for ideas, here are Tropical Sky’s top five destinations and their most popular resorts for taking the plunge – all prices include the wedding package.
1. Barbados and its adults-only Almond Beach Club. Seven nights’ all-inclusive starts at £1,300 per person. The package includes a wedding cake and a bottle of champers.
2. St. Lucia’s couples-only resort, Rendezvous. Packages include a facial and manicure for the bride and massage for both of you. Seven nights’ all-inclusive starts at £1,525 per person.
