By LLM Reporters   |  

When it comes to your wedding day, most will agree that it should be one of the best days of your entire life, but the meticulous planning required and endless decisions to be made in order to get that luxury feel can leave you stressed to the maximum long before you begin the walk down the aisle.

In fact, often, all it takes is a few well thought-out and original touches to make your day extra special. We’ve put together three unusual ideas to inject some unexpected luxury into your day – and we can guarantee they’ll make it as memorable for your guests as it will be for you.

A beach wedding can make for a calming and picturesque backdrop for your luxury wedding

Beach Wedding: where luxury meets sea and sand

When it comes to getting those perfect wedding photos, few locations make for a more perfect backdrop than a long, sandy beach – and the sound of the sea can be a calming influence after a happy but hectic day.

Destination weddings are now more popular than ever, and with a plethora of stunning Caribbean beach hotels now offering some great packages and handling the planning aspect for you, it’s a great way to take the heat off and allow someone else to do the hard work. Just be careful to avoid hurricane season in the Caribbean, which falls in September and October.

Getting married on a cruise ship means the honeymoon can start the moment the reception ends

Cruise wedding: get married in the middle of the sea

Want an unusual location for your wedding? It doesn’t get much better than the middle of the ocean. A romantic cruise can make for a fairytale setting, and often, one that offers far more opulence than you’re likely to find on dry land. Indian couple Adel Sajan and Sana Khan booked an entire ship to celebrate their happy event – and maintain that it was the unusual element that made their day completely unforgettable. With stunning sunsets and magnificent sea views, a luxury cruise ship is a magical place to exchange vows, offering a truly memorable way to tie the knot. And, if you happen to be cruising to somewhere special, then the honeymoon can begin the moment the reception ends.

If you’re looking for an original way to inject some luxury into your day then there are plenty of unusual options – and letting your imagination run wild can often be the best place to start. Anything is possible!
