- Take advantage of features like a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, a music trio or quartet that will play all your songs if you let them know in advance.
- Splurge on flowers, taking advantage of the variety of tropical and exotic flowers and their lower cost.
- Purchase the photo album and the video, for life-long memories.
- Design a cake topped and decorated with seashells or fresh orchids. Or send in advance a picture of your dream cake for a custom-made cake.
- Remember to choose attire proper for the hotter Caribbean weather. Sleeveless gowns are best. Some have even married in their bathing suits down on the beach! Yes, you may wear a long train but don't expect it to stay immaculately white. The dress can be steam-pressed by the hotel's dry cleaning department upon your arrival.
- Come days before to get a beautiful suntan for that wedding day.
- Take advantage of hotel massage or spa facilities to de-stress beore the wedding.
- Request a Plan A "open air" - and a Plan B "indoors" - in case of a tropical shower.
- Remember to prepare yourself for the unexpected. Getting married in another country is a wonderful experience but the language and culture difference could result in some "interesting" surprises. If you just relax and go with the flow, you are guaranteed to have a perfect wedding day.
