Planning a Bahamas Destination Beach Wedding
Are you dreaming of an exotic beach wedding on a secluded beach with a brilliant sunset in the background?
Then you must be dreaming of a Bahamas Destination wedding. Since the Bahamas has more beaches than almost anywhere else in the world, you’re sure to find a beach that has the romantic appeal for your beach wedding.
So here are some helpful tips for planning a Bahamas Destination beach wedding.
The most difficult decision for you may be deciding on the island for your wedding. While most people are familiar with Nassau and Paradise Island, there are more than 700 islands and cays in the Bahamas with more than 5,000 miles of powdery white sand beaches.
And even in the Bahamas not all beaches are the same as there are white sand beaches and there are pink sand beaches. There are beaches with dozens of bathers and there are beaches only with you and seagulls. There are beaches with huge resorts as their backdrop and there are beaches with clear blue skies just from the sun.
So the choice is really up to you.
And that choice depends on how much money you’re willing to spend on your wedding.
If you choose to have your wedding during the peak tourist season, then you can expect to pay a bit more for airfare, hotel accommodations, and wedding arrangements. Therefore, it is very important that you not only consider your own pocket, but also the pocket of the people with whom you would like to share your wedding with you.
And you also want to extend the courtesy of informing them of the wedding date as soon as it is set. So that they have the necessary time to make it possible for them to attend your wedding.
Another reason you want to give your family and friends as much advance notice as possible is that you will need a passport to re-enter the United States after the wedding is over. Therefore, they may need to obtain a passport if they don’t already have one or renew one that is expired. And this can take some time.
Once you’ve decided on the island and time, you’ll want to contact a wedding planner to help you with the planning. You’ll find that enlisting the help of local experts will help take a lot of the stress out of planning a destination wedding.
Your wedding planner will be able to help you with:
- Finding the ideal beach for you wedding ceremony,
- reception place
- wedding officiant
- Help with marriage license requirements
And with all the other arrangements you may need for your wedding. While giving you useful tips and guidance.
Finally, deciding what to pack for the trip to the Bahamas.
While a Bahamas destination beach wedding allows you flexibility in what you wear, it also allows flexibility in what you pack for the trip. And you can decide to pack as much or as little as you want. In fact, you may even decide to rent your wedding dress and suits for your wedding. Giving you the freedom to truly enjoy some stress-free time as you celebrate your love on a romantic beach in paradise.
