So you have decided to have your wedding in an exotic location: maybe a beach wedding in the Caribbean or on an island in the Venice lagoon, or even an atoll in the Pacific. Choosing such destinations brings its own challenges, not least – what wedding dress or outfit to buy for the destination you have chosen.

There are so many wedding traditions that it would be impossible to cover them all in just one article, but we can certainly bring you some of the best ones! Many wedding traditions have come from our ancestors and are continued to this day, some come from other countries and cultures and some are just plain modern.

If you grew up like I did with a romantic vision of what my wedding should be like, then no matter how many questions there are to ask yourself, you’re sure of one thing, it needs to be perfect. Nowadays not everyone appears as concerned about finding the perfect dress, but for most of us – deep inside – it really does matter.
