How to Organize Your Dream Wedding in the Maldives- plan the wedding of your dreams

 Regarded as one of the last remaining paradises on earth, the sun-kissed islands of the Maldives are an affianced couples' dream come true. Serving as a popular choice for destination weddings in Asia, hosting your nuptials in the paradise archipelago can prove to be daunting for the uninitiated. From finding the right location and securing the best vendors, here are some practical guidelines on how to plan the wedding of your dreams in the Maldives.

1. Pick a Date

When it comes to planning a destination wedding in an exotic location such as the Maldives, the first order of business is to select a date for the blessed event. While it may be tempting to select a date that's significant to the couple or a time of the year when securing leave from work is less worrisome, it is equally necessary to take the local weather conditions into consideration. The best time to host a wedding in the country is obviously during its peak tourist season which falls from November to April as sunny weather is a given. Avoid planning a ceremony in the months from May to October and heavy rainfall can put a damper on your big day unless you are planning an indoor, ballroom affair.  Couples should keep in mind, however, that hotel room rates and other commodities will cost significantly more during the peak tourist season, as opposed to the low season.

2. Wedding Packages Vs Bespoke Nuptials

The country's popularity as a wedding location has lead to many Maldives luxury resorts offering their own wedding packages for the convenience of foreign couples. These travel packages typically include the attire, marriage license, decor, dining menu and even a honeymoon stay at the same hotel so couples who wish to simply jet down to the Maldives for an impromptu wedding have little to worry about. Affordable and efficient, the only aspects these wedding packages lack are the personal details and bespoke elements that are part and parcel of a dream wedding. Those who wish to organize their own celebration, in contrast, can hire a local wedding planner instead.

3.  Thematically Speaking

While beach weddings are all the rage in the Maldives, it is possible to organize a wedding that's thematically quite different from what couples have come to expect in the paradise isles. A traditional Maldivian wedding complete with Bodu Beru drummers and a tree-planting ceremony is just some of the many options available to couples who are looking to enjoy something different from the bohemian beach wedding.

4. Finding the Ideal Location

When it comes to stunning locations the beaches surrounding Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences and other accommodation hubs are not the only options available to those who are tying the knot in the Maldives. The country is home to its very own underwater chapel as well as two underwater restaurants while those who wish to say "I Do" while scuba diving in the Indian Ocean will also find wedding packages to suit their needs. Ballroom and cocktail party fans will also be impressed by the number of chic venues designed for big events in the country's top resorts.

5. Secure Key Vendors

From florists and decorators to catering and entertainment, the next step in the planning process is securing a service provider in the Maldives that fits one's budget and sensibilities. While hosting a wedding at a five-star resort eliminates the need to find individual vendors for food and beverages as well as interior decor, couples will find that plenty of wedding-related businesses have a great presence online so their catalogues and services can be booked without much hassle. In addition to photographers and videographers, couples can also secure local stationers to create bespoke invitations for their special day.
