Barbados Weddings And Honeymoons According To Wedding Expert, Amanda Statham

In a recent article published in The Telegraph, Amanda Statham, an overseas wedding coordinator and destination weddings expert talks about Barbados weddings and the many options there are in the Caribbean island for hopeful brides and groom deciding tying the knot abroad.

After having travelled the world far and wide and having reviewed hundreds of wedding and honeymoon destinations, Amanda says that Barbados has a special place in her heart as she considers the Caribbean island to be a dream location for couples in search of a scenic backdrop to their Caribbean wedding with a ceremony that is easy and straightforward to organise and which won't cost the earh.

When it comes to her pick of best Barbados hotels for destination weddings, Amanda mentions the Coral Reef Club as one of the most sumptuous and luxurious resorts to get married in Barbados with decadent champagne breakfasts for the bride and groom as part of the wedding package. She recommends the Treasure Beach Hotel for smaller intimate and elegant weddings boutique-style with a small garden overlooking the ocean as the perfect wedding venue, and all three Almond Resorts for idyllic beach weddings on a budget.

As all Almond Resorts are set overlooking pristine stretches of turquoise beach and they all offer free wedding packages for those staying for seven nights or more, these hotels offer the best value without compromising on the beauty of the location witth free wedding deals that include flowers, bubbly and wedding cake.

For amazing honeymoons in Barbados she reccommends the luxurious and romantic collection of Elegant Hotels in Barbados, with The House being the top choice as a secluded adults-only resort and Turtle Beach being the family-friendly alternative. On the other hand, Amanda Statham also suggests the Tides and Daphne's as alternative chic hotels for more trendy couples looking for stylish honeymoons.

But Amanda's personal top favourite among all Barbados hotels is the Fish Pot, a beautiful and unique boutique hotel set in an 18th century fortress where couples can get married on the beach and then spend their first night together as husband and wife in a four-poster suite.

To round it all up, Amanda's top tips for perfect tropical weddings in Barbados, or anywhere else in the Caribbean are as follows:

Do marry in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid soaring midday temperatures.
Don't sunbathe as soon as you arrive - no one wants to look like a lobster in their wedding pictures.
Do wear clothes appropriate for the tropics (leave full-skirted gowns and morning suits at home).
Don't stress over the details - everything is more chilled in the Caribbean, that’s the point of flying there for a fuss-free wedding.
Do tell everyone you meet you’re newlyweds. You’ll be amazed at how many freebies you get, such as a rose-petal turndown service.
Don't forget your documents, including birth certificates and decree nisi if either of you is divorced.
