If having your wedding half a world away from every other couple in the UK appeals, so might the thought of having a big day that’s a world apart. Customising your wedding doesn’t have to end with self-penned vows and red wedding dresses. Your big day can be as out-of-the-box as you want it to be.
Go the distance
It makes sense that blue sky thinking comes most naturally to countries where the sky is rarely any other colour. That’s why Kenya and Africa are perfect for unique weddings. Imagine the soft lilting you’ll experience as you say your vows on a Swahili dhow boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Or think what the twilight will sound like as you have your ceremony at a nature reserve on the edge of the African plains. If you wed on horseback on the Prospect Plantation, in Jamaica, you’ll always be able to rely on the smell of saddle leather to re-awaken memories of your big day.
Closer to home
If you wed in Lapland’s ice hotel, you can count on the first frost of every year to rekindle memories of your unique wedding. If you want to remember your day every time you raise a wine glass, a ceremony in a Santorini winery might be right for you. Make your promises at Santo Winery and you’ll do so on the edge of the island’s dramatic caldera.
