Imagine your wedding day. Candles are flickering in the fragrant warmth of a Spanish evening as a glorious sunset lights up the horizon above the sea. After you've taken your vows, you and your guests head to an open-air terrace above the Mediterranean, for a grand feast of freshly caught seafood and fine wines from nearby vineyards. Over the next few days you and your new partner explore nearby picturesque villages and towns, shop in bustling markets, and perhaps play a round of golf or two. Maybe you think this lifestyle is only for the very rich but in Spain wedding packages are surprisingly affordable and undeniably romantic. Here's why you should choose wedding holidays in Spain.
Firstly, few other destinations can offer the colour and drama of Spain for a wedding. When you arrive here you're in another world of medieval towns with sunlit squares, great stretches of coast with delightful beaches and a relaxed and fun-loving lifestyle that includes siestas and fiestas.
Then there's the weather. Sunshine can transform any event into a celebration and Spain's got the sun and the blue skies that can make your special day truly complete. The weather does vary around the country but whatever date you choose to tie the knot, you'll find a part of Spain that's warm and sunny.
And then, there's the matter of accessibility and infrastructure. Spain is just a short hop from the UK and there's a staggering range of flights from most of Britain's airports to many destinations in Spain. And fares are very reasonable with a host of budget carriers to choose from. Road and rail transport is fast and convenient and there are a vast range of hotels, resorts, villas and other types of accommodation to choose from. Your wedding guests will be happy too as they can also avail themselves of a mini holiday in a glorious setting.
If you've decided a wedding holiday in Spain is for you, there are a number of important matters you need to consider. The first thing to realize is that a wedding is an involved affair requiring considerable planning. And a wedding abroad is fraught with its own dangers such as language problems. Plus you won't be on the ground to take care of things. The last thing you want on the most special day of your life is for something to go wrong because of lack of proper preparation.
The easy solution is to put your wedding arrangements into the hands of local experts who can take care of everything from catering to accommodation to the ceremony itself. In this way you can just jet into Spain confident that you're in for the experience of a lifetime and that things will go swimmingly.
If you sign up with a reputable company that arranges Spanish wedding holidays, you have the benefit of a personal events coordinator who'll be responsible for all aspects of your wedding. Your coordinator will make sure that everything is ready from the location to the food to the music and the flowers and cake.
You've got a lot of choices of location for getting married in Spain but if you want the authentic Spain, you really have to choose Costa Almaria. Spared the modernisation that transformed the Costa del Sol and other popular spots into concrete tourist haunts, Almaria has retained its traditional charm. Here you can tie the knot near the Mediterranean just a few miles from orange and lemon groves, almond orchards and the timeless vistas of mountains, olive trees and whitewashed villages that are the real Spain.
Costa Almaria is also renowned for its food. Fresh fruit from the orchards, freshly-caught prawns, crabs and oysters from the ocean, and cured hams from the nearby farms are some of the local specialties. And what is a wedding without wine? Here you can celebrate with products made from the locals grapes and toast the future with the famed sherry of Jerez.
For people considering weddings abroad, check out the Desert Springs resort. The resort offers complete facilities for all types of celebration with quality accommodation and a host of facilities including the region's premier golf course. And who knows? You’ll probably like it so much you’ll come back and buy your own Spain property.
