Coming to a destination wedding, you may yourself originate from a strong cultural nation which you call home or may be marrying someone who does. In this instance, while you may be enjoying somewhere different for your wedding, a home from home, you may still want to dress or infuse aspects of your tradition into your attire.
With a few considerations, wearing ethnic dress can be an easy and exciting process for you. Barbados is an excellent place to accommodate national style as the country embraces many cultures, which means you can actually get help and understanding to recreate your look for you or assist you to adapt it to a destination style. You will find original rich fabrics but with a lighter weight for the tropical climate, jewellery and accessories, beads and other adornment. You will also be able to easily access fine finishes, shimmering treatments and metallic sprays for wreaths, crowns and décor. |

CONSIDERING OTHER ASPECTS |
*Enquire as to if it is acceptable at your choice of venue; how far can you go, particularly with churches?
|
|
|
*Work out between you and your fiancé if there is a need to represent more than one culture as this would require more planning and resources.
|
|
Decide if the concept will extend to the rest
of the wedding party |
| |
|
Decide if you want full cultural dress or just a touch added to popular manner. Remember that ethnic style can be extravagant or just a simple statement in tradition, also that it can be both of you or successfully one of you if handled correctly. |
|
Consider how it will influence floras and other décor which may be provided in a package, you may want to echo the style. If it will, you will have to re--accommodate with your travel agent or coordinator or seek outside help which is readily available. |
|
* Work out how much, if any (you may decide to purchase at the destination), of the cultural dress will you be bringing with you on the trip?
* Consider if you would need to change during certain parts of your wedding, for example: certain weddings of various faiths or types, may require another additional ceremony (register office will suffice), to make it legal in western society. |
