For brides in the throes of planning their big day, the concept of serenity can seem a long way off. However, for those considering a destination wedding and honeymoon in Saint Lucia, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel…and it’s as bright as the Caribbean sun itself. These tips can help brides to find calm amidst the chaos:
Pre-Wedding
Once brides arrive in Saint Lucia, they can reset their body clocks to island time by getting out into the island’s natural spaces. A simple stroll through the lush landscape or stop to gaze at the island’s majestic Pitons can ease both mind and body, while a full-body scrub using natural botanicals can take it even further.
Wedding Day
Plan the reception menu around the dazzling array of fruits, vegetables and spices that make Saint Lucian cuisine some of the Caribbean’s best. Fresh fish caught just offshore and organic vegetables grown nearby will have guests feeling light, lively and ready to hit the dance floor. Craft cocktails flavored with just-picked herbs will keep the festivities going long into the night. And a wedding cake adorned with exotic fruits picked at the peak of flavor is a slice of sweet serenity all will enjoy.
The Honeymoon
With all the planning and pressure over, honeymoons are the island’s true chance to shine. A couples chocolate massage is a unique, indulgent way for newlyweds to sink into Saint Lucia’s relaxed atmosphere, as is a trip to its famed sulphur springs for a rejuvenating mud bath. Staying at a wellness retreat brings a whole host of additional options, including tai chi, yoga, fitness classes and even rental bikes or kayaks to make connecting with nature an active affair. The possibilities are endless.
