That being said, we knew we would have a large guest list and wanted the island to be easily accessible,” said bride Julie Ambrose when sharing why she chose Aruba for her dream destination wedding.

Azure blue seas, bright white sands, and a consistently warm and sunny climate make Aruba one of the most picturesque and romantic honeymoon destinations imaginable. After all of the activities that surround a wedding, most newlyweds want their honeymoon to provide a chance to relax, spend time with their new husband or wife, and have new experiences together. The laid back culture of Aruban vacationing leaves plenty of time for relaxing by the beach, but the island also provides many opportunities for adventure.

Who needs crazy Uncle Sal to keep the party going when a photo booth will do the trick?! The photo booth has been trending big at weddings for the past few years, and it seems to be a trend that will continue for quite some time. As one destination bride told me, “…as soon as dinner was over, we opened up the photo booth and BOOM—our reception took on this crazy, fun vibe…even my normally refined and formal grandparents had a blast wearing the props and posing for the camera!”

What our brides are saying

I am so thankful we had the opportunity to get married in Aruba and that so many of our friends and family made the trip there with us. I have always had a special love for Aruba, but now it is an even more meaningful and special place to me and my husband.
