Preparing for your Mediterranean wedding
It is a fact that your wedding day will be one of the most memorable and treasured moments of your life. As soon as you say “I do”, a new and exciting chapter has begun, and you have that special someone to share it all with…
One in four of us are heading abroad to celebrate this momentous occasion, swapping the chilly British weather for exotic beaches and tropical resorts across the globe. Hawaii, Las Vegas and Mauritius all have that ‘wow factor’, but you needn’t be in for a long haul flight to get that gorgeous climate and stunning settings.
The Mediterranean, and in particular Cyprus, has everything to offer you for your big day from whites sands to delicious authentic Mediterranean cuisine. At approximately five hours away, there’s no tedious
plane journey to contend with and an increase in the possibility of more loved ones being able to make the event. Vasilias is one of the most popular wedding venues in Cyprus.
Nothing has required this much planning, yet if you’re getting married abroad, there are still going to be little aspects you didn’t expect. Here are a number of factors to put your mind at ease allowing you to enjoy your day to the fullest:
Cost
There may be those little extras you have completely forgot about, and with weddings becoming increasingly expensive (the average now costs over £20,000!) it makes sense to prepare your financial situations before stepping on the plane. It is also essential to consider insurance so that if anything does go wrong (touch wood) you’re completely covered for it.
Scenery
Soak in the beautiful views as well as the rays and each other, Paphos Cyprus in particular is one of the most places in the world teaming with romance and life, perfect for starting your life as a married couple.
Beauty
Beware of sunbathing! The lobster look is never appreciated, especially on your wedding day. Not only is a best to fake it if you’re looking for a golden glow whilst walking down the aisle, it protects your skin as well as your hair. Secret Salons have many tips on making the most out of your hair, as well as a directory of over 50,000 salons from all over the UK to book
that perfect wedding cut.
Food
This is the ideal opportunity to sample some authentic Mediterranean cuisine from rich and creamy rice dishes to rustic breads and oils. Fresh fish, delicious meat and crunchy appetizers after a long, stressful yet exhilarating day; what more could you ask for?
Heat
You think this would be an obvious point, but always keep the temperature in the fall-front of your mind for your Mediterranean wedding. Your wedding dress needs to be light and airy to keep yourself comfortable. But with the heat of the midday sun comes the cool and breezy evening…
With a record number of Brits heading abroad to get hitched, it’s easy to see why.
