If you live in Belize, you already know how beautiful, bountiful, and scenic it is. People travel from all around the world to find a place as elegant and romantic as the beaches of Belize to host their wedding; feel lucky that your home offers this incredible setting! If you’re planning your wedding, here are some things you need to consider for your special day in a perfect location like Belize.
The Date
If you’re planning on hosting your wedding in Belize, a huge factor in that decision is how beautiful and tropical the weather is year round. However, some times of the year are more conducive to outdoor events than others. The best time to book your wedding in Belize is during the dry season between May and December. Have no worries about the rain showing up as an uninvited guest to your special day when you book your wedding at the right time!
The Wardrobe
Although big, traditional gowns and bridesmaids dresses are fun, if you’re planning your wedding in Belize, make sure you’re dressing appropriately for the beach and the beautiful tropical aesthetic. Flowing, short, and bright dresses are all wonderful options for saying “I do” by the ocean. Embrace your home and all of the tropical wonders it has to offer with a dress that fits the location!
The Flowers
Embrace the beauty of Belize by decorating your wedding with seasonal, local flowers. There are over 4,000 species of flowers native to Belize and each has their own unique smell and aesthetic. Local vendors and gardeners will be happy to design seasonal bouquets that fit your wedding’s colours and theme, and it’s a great way to support local businesses. Incorporate the black orchid to your bouquet to add a bit of edge while paying homage to Belize’s national flower.
The Food
If you live in Belize, you know that Belizean food is phenomenal. Dishes like rice and beans, fresh-caught fish and lobster, tamales, and ceviche are delicious, hearty, and a great choice to feed your guests something homey and incredible. While many wedding locations may recommend traditional western foods, choose traditional foods made expertly with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
