subject: St Lucia Continues To Be Leading Choice For Couples Planning Destination Weddings With Tropical Sky [print this page] The travel company Tropical Sky has revealed that St Lucia and Barbados remain as the two favourite wedding destinations for UK couples planning to get married abroad in 2012.
Bookings for destinations weddings so far this year have showed that 19 per cent have taken place or will take place on the Caribbean island of St Lucia, with Barbados weddings following closely behind with 18 per cent. The two Caribbean wedding destinations have been the top 2 favourites for the company's customers since 2010.
I am delighted that St Lucia has retained its crown as the most popular wedding destination as its a personal favourite of mine, commented Fred Harrison, the Product Development Manager at Tropical Sky.
The diverse choice of hotels and wedding venues - combined with outstanding value for money and free wedding offers - makes St Lucia the ideal tropical wedding location for couples, families and wedding groups.
St Lucia is an island nation situated in the eastern Caribbean Sea, home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Caribbean including the soaring Pitons, lush green rolling hills, white sandy beaches, and tropical rainforests.
Couples can choose romantic beach weddings at sunset, ceremonies by the poolside or nuptials in tropical gardens against the backdrop of the majestic Pitons.
Likewise, brides and grooms getting married abroad in Barbados can enjoy unique white pink sandy beaches, calm turquoise waters, upscale beachfront Barbados hotels and resorts, world-class golf courses and thriving wildlife reserves.
While Caribbean weddings remain in the lead for now, many other destinations are emerging as couples seek adventure and off the beaten track locations such as Cuba, Sri Lanka and Zanzibar.
New York is fast becoming a popular choice for faraway destination weddings and it came in third place this year with Tropical Skys wedding bookings.
Mr Harrison added: I also have a long-standing love affair with New York so its very encouraging to see couples are choosing more independent locations for their wedding abroad. With a choice of many venues and exciting locations in and around New York, including Central Park, the famous World Yacht dinner cruise and skyscraper weddings, theres certainly something different for everyone.
The trend indicates that there are two types of couples planning weddings abroad: traditionalists who want ceremonies in romantic settings such as beaches amid tropical surroundings and blue skies, and trailblazers who seek unique destinations and unusual venues such as underwater weddings, mountain-top nuptials and ceremonies in less-stereotypical destinations.
