There is nothing quite like getting married abroad in fabulous sunshine and relaxing surroundings. The caribbean has been one of their most popular choices over the years but now the whole world has opened up with many diverse settings offering breathtaking scenery.

Don’t rush into your dream day and research is the key to a great day.

If you are considering the Southern hemisphere the season is quite short and spans from November through to April with the rainy season in between, not ideal for a beach wedding! Popular tourist spots may have beautiful hotel locations but can be crowded during peak season and the weather can be extremely hot.

Whilst fewer guests will attend your overseas wedding the people close to you will be there and you will get more time to spend with them. The atmosphere is more intimate and the bonus is generally it will cost a lot less than a home based wedding.

Different countries have different traditions and legal requirements. This is where the research really needs to be focused and detailed. Check out the marriage laws, legal requirements and exact documentation you will be required to produce. Often Civil ceremonies are the only recognized ceremony and be sure to check if the particular Country has a minimum residency requirement prior to your big day. Finally be sure to check all passports are valid for at least 6 months after your return and any visas are applied for well in advance.

Nowadays most hotels offering wedding facilities have packages on offer which can be a great way of booking the majority of your wedding in one go. If you are looking more towards a Tailor made wedding the services of an experienced planner should be employed. Local knowledge is key here and can crucial in selecting products and services like flowers, hairdressers, restaurants and cars etc.
