Two very experienced independent wedding planners, Indira Maduro and Robert Arenz, in the business 16 and 13 years, respectively, chatted with Beach Brides blog about what prospective brides and grooms can expect by consulting a wedding planner who works independently of a resort.

Whether choosing styles that are modern and trendy, or strictly traditional, a crucial element to any nuptials has always been the flowers, particularly the bridal bouquet. More casual beach weddings have encouraged couples to go bold in their color choices and combinations, and island florists have expressed they enjoy the challenge of creating something extraordinary and unique.

After months of planning have finally culminated in your dream destination wedding on Aruba, it would come as no surprise to anyone if the bride and groom want some significant alone time with their significant other, which has now earned the title of "husband" or "wife".

The Hyatt is very pleased to add these two new outdoor venues to their Grand Ballroom, Beach Deck and Pool Deck, for a total of six distinctly different settings to provide the dream island wedding any bride could want. Their choices of decoration run the gamut from casual to extremely formal.
