Imagine marrying on soft, powdery white sand, as waves lap gently on the shore and the sun slips into the ocean, creating what many can only describe as HEAVEN.
The beauty of beach weddings is that you and your fiancé as well as your guests can be at one with nature. There is nothing more romantic than saying your vowels whilst sea birds frolic and waves roll onto the shore. In fact, the ambience created is one that personifies love, embraces life and fills you with passion, especially as the sand tickles your toes.
Weddings on the beach can be as simple or as elaborate as you like and many beach weddings are able to be arranged to include any or all of the aspects that more traditional ceremony’s have, such as: a celebrant; fresh flowers; aisle creation; bridal music; small wedding cake; and a wedding certificate. Plus, on certain occasions you and your fiancé may be able to request a certain section of the beach, which adds an element of intimacy to your occasion. Often these beach wedding packages also have optional extras, such as photographers and catering that can be added, and it is as easy as talking to your Destination Wedding Specialist prior to your wedding for these arrangements to be made.
Beach weddings are diverse with you and your fiancé able to have a small intimate ceremony for two or to share your special occasion with a small or large group of family and friends. Flowers, music, and even flooring can be arranged, along with seating and decorations. The only restrictions on you and your fiancé are your own personal desires and budget. Beach weddings are considered to more informal than those held in churches and, often, this calls for a casual style of clothing. However, informal wedding attire can still be elegant, with many brides electing to wear light-weight sleeveless, halter-neck or strapless styled dresses, flowers in their hair, and matching flip-flops, or electing to go barefoot. The groom can don an open-necked shirt and casual pants while leaving his shoes and socks behind.
Numerous locations such as Jamaica, Mexico, Hawaii, are perfect locations for your beach wedding. In fact, if the location has a beach, it is highly likely that you and your fiancé can elect to have your wedding ceremony and even your reception on the shore. Many resorts and restaurants will assist you in making your ceremony and reception a special occasion by offering to assist you decorate your chosen location, and providing all the necessary extras to make your beach wedding truly spectacular.
Like all other weddings, the beach wedding will require you apply for a marriage license prior to your ceremony, in order for your marriage to be legally recognized. The application process for your marriage license, when having a beach wedding, will depend entirely on the country where the beach is situated to and their legal system. For example – if you marry in Jamaica you will need to follow their application process, or if marrying in Mexico their licensing procedure.
As with all other destinations, it is also advisable to consider changes in the weather when planning a beach wedding, as this may affect your wedding ceremony considerably. Always have an alternative ceremony location on-hand in case things don’t go as planned.
Overall, the beach wedding is truly unique - you can elect to make it as informal or as formal as you wish, and you can marry when nature is at its most favorable. Of course, an all time favorite of the beach wedding is saying, ‘I Do’, as the sun slips comfortably into the ocean and day transcends into night, making your wedding a special occasion for all to attend.

Often referred to as Fiji’s Hidden Paradise, Savusavu appears to be much the same as it was 30 years ago. Founded before the Deed of Cession, Savusavu was originally established as a center for sailing ships trading in sandalwood, beche-de-mer and copra. Savusavu continues to be a copra town with a processing mill in Balaga Bay at the very bottom of Savusavu Bay.

Vanua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji, is split into two distinct halves. Sugar plantations and small Indian communities dominate the dry north-western side. The south-eastern side, with the increasingly popular eco-tourist region of Savusavu, is clothed in rainforest and old colonial coconut plantations. Vanua Levu is known as the friendly north and its people are warm and villages hospitable. The Bays of Savusavu and Natewa are great places to explore and several tour companies offer guided walks through the mountains and kayaking expeditions along the coastline. Most of the north and eastern parts of the island are rarely visited - accommodation is only available in Labasa and on a few of the offshore island resorts - although some great hiking can be found in the mountains south of Labasa. The southern coast of Vanua Levu from Savusavu to Buca Bay (where boats connect with Taveuni) is outstandingly beautiful and several small resorts and private villas for all budgets have opened along the coast. Destinationweddings.com works with all resorts and wedding coordinators in Vanua Levu that offer many different wedding packages, including beach weddings.
