Aruba weddings are always breathtaking and remarkable, mostly due to the awe-inspiring sunsets, perfect weather, clear blue water, pristine beaches and exceptionally delicious food.
Making the decision to make ours an Aruba destination wedding was easy, once we learned about the beautiful island. Getting there was inexpensive and the flight time was relatively short from most U.S. cities. The weather is perfect, the sunsets are magical, and the resorts offer exquisite 5 star cuisine.
Here are my deciding factors for choosing to have our wedding in Aruba.
Aruba weddings are always memorable and special with venues ranging from white sandy beaches, to private sunset cruises, or lush tropical gardens.
There are many resort properties with complete banquet facilities for a larger wedding reception, and Aruba is home to many fine restaurants that offer elegant private rooms for smaller groups, and special occasions such as a rehearsal dinner or ladies brunch.
I had my ladies brunch at Hadicurari.at the fisherman’s pier. The food was wonderful and the mimosas were even better.
However there are some things that couples should keep in mind before they decide to tie the knot on Aruba.
As in any country, there are rules that have to be followed and paperwork that must be submitted before a wedding ceremony can take place.
You can find more info on Aruba marriage requirements here.
The events coordinator at the resort of your choice or an Aruba wedding planner can make the paperwork submission process pretty straightforward.
Also keep in mind that there is a dress code… No beach attire for any weddings, blessing ceremonies or renewal of vows. So, ladies, if you were hoping to wear that bikini top and a sarong, sorry! But, other than that, your wedding can be as forma or as casual as you like.
I went for a more formal look, with a lace train gown, and Scott and the guys wore tuxes. But, I also saw some examples of wonderfully coordinated Hawaiian print shirts for the men, and dresses for the women in the same print.
Aruba has plenty of choices for everyone. An Aruba wedding can be as small and intimate or as large and extravagant as your imagination.
And one of the greatest things about Aruba weddings is your do not have to go very far for the honeymoon!
