 Select the location for your wedding

The most popular location for a Maldives wedding would definitely be the beach. Your resort should be able to cmsreate an attractive gazebo or similar setting adorned with palm leaves and exotic flowers. However, if you desire to have a beach ceremony, you will be obliged to select an appropriate period for your wedding. This is because the Maldives experiences two discernible seasons; the high and low seasons. The high season features the sunniest weather perfect for a beach wedding; as you would expect, rates will be relatively higher during this time, though generally there are special wedding packages on offer. Although the costs will be lower during the low season, there will be a possibility of rainfall; however, this won’t be all the time, so you can still have a sunny ceremony! Another option would be a ceremony within your resort; some properties will have a grassy area with a gazebo as well as seating for guests.

 Choose your wedding ceremony

Regarding the wedding ceremony itself, you will have plenty of choices in the Maldives. Should you desire a wedding like one in the West, this will be quite possible in the islands. However, many couples take the opportunity to include touches of the local Maldivian culture in their ceremony. In fact, traditional weddings in the Maldives happen to be lively affairs featuring an ensemble of drummers playing traditional ‘bodu beru’ drums. These drummers will be attired in customary Maldivian apparel and will provide an accompaniment of rhythmic beats as part of the ceremony. This is sure to be a splendid addition to your wedding bringing in a genuine touch of the local culture. On a final note regarding the ceremony, keep in mind that for foreign nationals / non-residents, it will be a symbolic one and not legally binding.

 Enjoy the romantic experiences

If you choose to have your wedding in Maldives, you will have the opportunity to enjoy some genuinely romantic experiences in the islands. You will be able to savour a delicious wedding dinner with your partner in a secluded setting on the beach; dining amidst the soft sands beneath the starlit tropical skies will undoubtedly be a moment to cherish. You will also have the chance to undertake a sunset cruise aboard a traditional dhoni vessel on which you can enjoy quality time with your loved one and sip champagne whilst taking in the stunning ocean surroundings. A choice of accommodation to consider from where you could enjoy romantic experiences such as these and avail yourself of premium wedding packages would be Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences; it is one of the appealingly located Maldives luxury resorts on a private island where you can have an enchanting celebration of love.

 Make the most of the facilities

In the Maldives, you will also be able to avail yourself of the services of a professional wedding or event planner.
