If you are looking for a beach wedding destination complete with pristine beaches, extraordinary activities and a vibrant night life and at the same time exotic and remote, go straight to state of Pernambuco in Brazil. Brazil’s beaches score high on all criteria, making them a popular destination.Perhaps the best part is that the rest of the world has yet to catch on, which keeps the prices reasonable and the crowds manageable.

The most beautiful sandy shores can be found in the tiny fishing village of Porto de Galinhas. The town has a handful of resorts and restaurants, as well as a number of beaches. Maracaípe is popular with surfers riding the wild waves and the bathing beauties who come to watch. But it’s not just about the eye candy at these Brazilian beaches, which boast clear blue waters and a few natural wonders. Muro Alto beach has an impressive stretch of coral reef, and the tide pools off Porto de Galinhas beach are teeming with aquatic wildlife. Scuba divers can check out these tide pools or venture farther offshore to explore shipwrecks.

When it comes to the reception menu, go for the local cuisine. Brazilian cuisine draws on nature’s bounty, and in the beach areas that means fresh fish and lots of tropical fruit. Restaurants in town serve up the expected seafood dishes as well as regional specialties, like carne do sol (a dried meat dish), and international fare, including sushi. Locals and visitors in the know line up at street vendors to indulge in some of the most popular snacks, including steamed crab, tapioca pancakes and an array of fruit juices.

After the wedding, your guests can sign up for an island tour in a 4-person beach buggy. These slow-moving vehicles are a great way to cruise the sandy shores and leisurely check out all the beaches

You can also indulge in some really crazy antics like arriving on a beach plane or celebrate your wedding in a yacht or a boat cruise.

Winters can be a taxing time for a lot of people and it doesn’t really seem like a likely time to get married. However, when you can leave the depressing weather, why waste an opportunity to have a memorable wedding? Just head south to one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida – Fort Walton Beach. Here you will find stretches of gorgeous white sand and warm, in fact almost tropical, weather at all times of year. This is definitely the place to go for the best winter beach weddings to be had close to home.

Apart from having some fabulous and secluded beaches, this place is awesome if you enjoy fishing. Not only that, but there are other activities on and in the water which can be enjoyed all year round. Even in the winter time, the water of the ocean is warm enough for you to enjoy a swim, and the weather is sunny enough for you to lie on the beach and work on that tan before the wedding.

Your guests will thank you for choosing this location. Apart from commercial fishing, kite surfing is a popular activity here at all times of the year. One particularly lovely spot in this area, which is well worth a visit, is the Boardwalk on Kales Island, with its covered picnic area. There are also plenty of restaurants, vacation resorts and hotels in the area where you can eat or stay to fully enjoy this popular place. Beach volleyball is a particularly popular activity at Fort Walton Beach, as is just lying in the sun on the beautiful white sand, getting a golden tan, and you will see plenty of people here doing just that. There are so many things to do here, you can be sure to enjoy your wedding away from the winter cold.

If you are looking for a magical wedding experience not far from home, then think no further than the beautiful Maluaka Beach in Maui.  This place is filled with beauty, serenity, love and romance.  Its been given many nicknames including ‘The Valley Isle’, ‘The Magic Isle’, and ‘The Island of the Sun’. Each of these alludes to, but fails to capture the true essence of Maui. To truly appreciate its spectacular beauty and natural wonders you must experience it for yourself, and once you do you’ll know why there is no more perfect place to exchange your wedding vows for your unforgettable tropical island garden or romantic sunset beach wedding.

This is a perfect destination for a simple and painless wedding. It offers the picturesque scenery of a typical beach that is also adjacent to a beautifully landscaped park and picnic area. Hence the hassles of arranging a reception is easily taken care of. The landscaped area serves as a wonderful place for the guests to convene and mingle after the wedding.

Maui, the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, was named for the demigod who “fished” the Hawaiian Islands from the Pacific. Legend tells us that Maui also captured the Sun and secured it in the beautiful mountains of Haleakala, which means “House of the Sun”. Maui’s unique and magnificent landscape provide miles and miles of white, gold, red, and black sand beaches along with soaring sea cliffs, mountains that appear to climb forever, quaint towns and villages, and many lush, tropical gardens and natural waterfalls. Maui offers something for everyone, and it is no wonder that this sun-drenched island is consistently named the “Best Hawaiian Island”.

Destination weddings are not only fun but also allow the couple to incorporate aspects of the location into their ceremony and reception. The location of the destination wedding can also be incorporated into the food choices. For example for a beach destination wedding in Hawaii the couple may choose to have a pig roast in lieu of a traditional sit down dinner in order to invoke the feel of the islands in the meal.

If you are looking for an unforgettable wedding experience, then Bora Bora is likely to be the answer to your destination searching questions. The peaceful ocean sounds and the warm tropical breeze in the middle of winter will ensure that everyone on the wedding have a blast. Pictures of your Bora Bora Wedding will be breathtaking! Bora-Bora’s exotic name alone makes the journey here worthwhile. Its unique geography lives on in the minds of anyone who has visited.

Eons ago in the South Pacific, a few volcanoes erupted creating Islands. The most famous French Polynesia Island, Bora Bora is a virtual tropical paradise. It is surrounded by tiny sandy islands called Itti atop a beautiful coral reef. Just inside this circle of Islands is a bright greenish blue lagoon that one can only dream about. The water in the lagoon is crystal clear, warm and fairly shallow.

The horizon is mixed with wide open ocean views and breathtaking views of Mount Otemanu and Mount Pahia.  The former is a ragged remnant of a massive volcano that juts 2,400 feet out of the Pacific, dramatically defining the island of Bora-Bora.

Several ultra luxury resorts line these shores with many bungalows over the water in Bora Bora. These are the ultimate romantic fantasy for many couples. Tahiti is a popular honeymoon destination because of its remoteness and cost. Huge reef and a protective strand of offshore motes ring the entire lagoon scattered along large corals, making it easy for couples to lay claim to a private islet for a day. Bora Bora’s palm-lined white sand beaches offer a vacation setting that is hard to top anywhere on earth.

Although Tahitian and French are the official languages, English is understood by most of the local shop keepers and tourism industry.

For the most special day in your life, head to paradise. Nothing can be more special than having a private ceremony in Maldives with the deep blue of the Indian Ocean merging with the bright blue sly and forming the perfect backdrop for your special day.

Set in the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, the exotic islands of the Maldives harbor beautiful sun kissed beaches – perfect for your beach wedding abroad. Tuck yourself away on your own luxury water villa and simply relax while you plan the finer details of your wedding from your deck!  If you fancy something more active, the Maldives has some of the best diving in the world where the coral reefs are filled with tropical fish. It is perfect and absolutely picturesque. Make the day one of Wedding Bliss – on the Beach of a shallow crystal lagoon, on a Sandbank in the Indian Ocean, or Underwater at a secret dive location.

The Maldives has pretty resorts that sit on their own tiny islets, ringed by white sands and coral reef for snorkeling and diving. It’s a romantic, barefoot feel. Want a perfect, away-from-it-all place to renew your vows, then chill out enjoying freshly caught seafood, taking snorkeling trips or even learning to dive (if you don’t already, of course). Submit to soothing spa treatments and let your cares float away in this castaway Eden, a nation of 1,000 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean.

Celebrate in Maldivian seclusion – within thatched beachside or water bungalows on our private island. Rainbow reefs teem with brilliant fish. Rejuvenate in the open-air, island spa and have dinner under a trillion stars with the best view of the ocean.

The Maldives are best in our late winter before their rainy season hits. Keep in mind that Non-Muslim weddings are not available in the Maldives at present.  You may, however, have a renewal of vows ceremony at many resorts, perhaps following a legal ceremony elsewhere.
