Your Beach Wedding

Beaches must have many traits in order to qualify for the honour of hosting a beach wedding or destination wedding. Aqua blue, crystal clear water, clean, sandy beaches, and a rather temperate tide are important when holding a beach wedding. Whether the wedding is informal with the participants dressed in shorts and sundresses or a formal event where everyone is attired in suits and gowns, the beach is a showpiece that must reflect a special occasion.

Therefore, we have gathered a list of our Top Ten Picks for the best beaches in the world on which to hold a wedding. Please note that they are listed in no particular order.

1. St. Lucia, a Caribbean island still lush with rain forests while at the same time very modern with large shopping malls and wide paved streets, has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Surrounded by both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, there are plenty of spots from which to choose.
   
2. Hawaii, one of the US states, in the Pacific Ocean always provides perfect beach locations for a wedding. The question will not be “should we go to Hawaii” but rather “which of the many islands and beaches should we choose?”
   
3. Tahiti situated in the south central Pacific is referred to as the most beautiful place on earth. As such, it can only be assumed that this wonderful paradise is the consummate island on which to hold a beach wedding.
   
4. Fiji, in the south Pacific, is another island that is very exclusive and highly dreamed about when couples consider a beach wedding. The location has grown increasingly popular from the number of movies that have been filmed on location. When one thinks of Fiji, one comes close to being in heaven.
   
5. Aruba, the Dutch island in the Caribbean Sea, is rife with gorgeous white sand beaches and turquoise water. There are many places where couples can arrange a private wedding area on a secluded beach.
   
6. Mauritius, off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, boasts white sandy beaches dotted with palm trees and tropical sunsets. In addition to the fabulous beaches, many of the hotels have delightful gardens nearby which heighten the beach destination adventure.
   
7. Turkey has become increasingly more popular for beach destination weddings since it is relatively inexpensive compared to other “hot spots” Interestingly, it is home to just as many beautiful beaches as other popular countries. One of the most highly sough after locations is Ölüdeniz Beach.
   
8. New Zealand offers a unique choice of beach weddings. Lake Tekapo sits on a blue lake with snow-capped mountains in behind and one does not think about beach and snow in the same sentence. Another beautiful area for beach weddings is Abel Tasman National Park, showcasing pristine blue water and lush green land.
   
9. Santorini in the Greek Isles is a spectacular place for a beach wedding. Extravagance, friendliness and breathtaking views make this a truly memorable wedding destination of the Mediterranean Sea.
   
10. Monte Carlo, Monaco, along the French Riviera, is reputed to have the most pristine beaches in the world. A glamourous location, indeed, this says prestige all the way.
