Why The Whitsundays Islands Are The Perfect Wedding Destination 

The Whitsundays are a collection of 74 islands bordering the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. These islands are the definition of a tropical paradise. With their beautiful expansive white sandy beaches and palm fringed sea views. What’s not to like?

Nestled in Queensland, affectionately known as the sunshine state, these islands are a hit with tourists as well as native Australians, but they aren’t just a place for a holiday. With a reef shaped like a heart and the beautiful turquoise sea, it’s easy to see why they are known as the wedding heart of Australia. The Whitsundays are the perfect choice for a luxurious wedding and here is why.

Stunning scenery

One important element of any wedding is the photographs. They are what you look back on in years to come. They are what you want to show your children and grandchildren. So what better place for the perfect backdrop than The Whitsundays islands. They have stunning white sandy beaches and sparkling turquoise seas. It would be difficult for anyone to rival the beautiful pictures that you will capture.

There is flexibility

Whether you want to get married barefoot on a sandy beach or in a little chapel with the coral sea as a backdrop, there are plenty of options on these islands. You can be as creative or as minimal as you wish.

Plenty to do

It doesn’t matter if a whole heap of people are travelling with you for your wedding. Or if you have decided on a small intimate affair. But there is plenty of things to do in Whitsundays. Your guests could snorkel in the reefs, relax on a beach or sip cocktails while watching the sunset. They will be spoilt for choice.

There is no need to focus on the details

You don’t need to turn in an organised bridezilla by opting for a wedding on the islands. These islands speak for themselves. Gone are the days spent looking at floral arrangements. The simpler, the better. You won’t have to spend that much time or money on all the small details because the choice of location will speak absolute volumes.

A relaxed affair

The wedding itself will be a much more relaxed affair. With beautiful weather and stunning scenery, you will find yourself relaxing with it. There will be no mad rush to get things set up and organised. With a thriving wedding industry fully established to take care of all the last-minute arrangements. From caterers and decorators. To wedding planners and florists. There is someone to take care of something for you in the town.

Make an occasion out of it

A wedding is normally just one day. Whereas choosing to have your wedding in The Whitsundays could turn the day into an entire event. From pre-wedding parties and celebrations to celebrating your wedding in style exploring the islands. It doesn’t just have to end on the day. You could celebrate for a whole week if you wanted to. Even longer.

I can guarantee you have started thinking about having your wedding there now.
