Getting hitched on a luxury, warm beach has been the most ideal way to become man and wife since world travel became easier in the last three decades or so. A wedding is a special day and getting married in style and luxury is one sure fire way to make that big day unforgettable.

Among the best locations for getting married on a warm, sandy beach thousands of miles away from home has many distinct advantages; including having your honeymoon right after the service has taken place. There is no need to line up at some busy airport and fly in a cramped plane for eight hours after you have just taken your vows. You may have to sacrifice bringing along all your friends and some distant cousins too, as not everyone can afford to attend a luxury beach resort in some tropical paradise.

So what are the favourite locations and destinations for happy couples wishing to tie the knot on a warm, sandy beach in some tropical paradise? Europeans like to fly to Greece or Cyprus for that private ceremony on some romantic island beach. Spain is another destination where you’ll find the right heat and climate but it can get a little too crowded at times. North American couples love to get married in exotic locations in Mexico, the Caribbean or Florida; Jamaica and the Turks and Caicos Islands being particular popular right now.

For those couples with a few extra pennies to spare, traveling to the exotic Jimbaran Bay in Indonesia, Half Moon Beach in Jamaica, and Rocky Resort in Koh Samui in Thailand or the Grenadines beautiful Palm Island really is where your marriage can take place on, what feels like, another planet.

Couples can wear small summer dresses for the bride and a short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt for the groom. There really is no need for the formal black tie look or the white bridal gown and dress to be looking just perfect for that beach wedding. Couples should also look to be a bit creative in the floral designs that accompany the altar on the beach; try aiming for a seashell bouquet instead of one with flowers. If you do go for flowers, try adding some mini starfish to your floral decoration. If you manage to make it to one of these exotic locations and decorate your boutique with sea-themed additions, you will surely make your special day one to remember for the rest of your life.
