The idea of a destination wedding can be exciting and often brings to mind an image of a couple and their family and friends standing on a beach somewhere in the South Pacific. And while tropical beaches are some of the most popular locations for a wedding, there are hundreds of beaches all over the world and choosing the right one is just the first step in the wedding planning for the big event. Not only are there many locations in the South Pacific for destination weddings like Tahiti and the Fiji Islands, but the Caribbean islands also offer a closer option for a beach wedding.
