Destination Weddings Ceremony Backdrops Ideas

Celebrating your wedding outside of your hometown automatically brings out the question, where would the ceremony be? After all, it is one of the most important parts of the wedding. The ceremomy is where the bride and groom declare their vows and love promises to each other in front of family and friends. Due to the significance of the moment the place should be selected wisely and the décor in it should generate a big impact on your guests. One way of achieving that wow factor is with the backdrop which you can create by taking advantage of the existing scenery. For example: if you are getting married in Puerto Rico at our hotel La Concha Resort, where would be the ideal spot? You guess it, right in front of the ocean! Sun, sand and ocean… the perfect combination for your destination wedding backdrop.

Using the ocean as a backdrop will give your guest a zen feeling plus, if you want a more relax ambience have them wear flip flops or sandals in our “Sereno” area where your toes will be touching sand while feeling the ocean breeze. If on the other hand you prefer being in front of the ocean while wearing high heels, then the “Ocean Pool Terrace” is the place for you.

Find below other great ideas that can be combined or use by themselves in case you are not as lucky to have the ocean as a backdrop.

Branches and window frames will give you that earthy feeling and will bring memories of summer times.
