Paradise Dream Tropical Wedding

You have met the man of your dreams and he has popped the question, you have decided that the ultimate wedding for you is a tropical style wedding and this will give you a taste of paradise. There are a great many locations you can choose from the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Cayman Islands. You have decided to go for a less usual place. You love Egypt, so the natural choice is a truly romantic wedding on the banks of the Nile looking over to the Valley of the Kings.

You choose a beautiful hotel that is full of marble pillars and tropical plants cool in the heat of the day. A nice relaxing place for your wedding party. You can easily get everything you could possibly need, small Egyptian ornaments as wedding favours, inside small pyramid shaped boxes, personalised if you wanted. Or perhaps your individual guests name written on papyrus and giving the meaning of their name as well, what a delight to keep. Then again you could give each guest a small silver Egyptian charm. As a great way to remember you’re your Paradise Wedding.

You can wear something that floats and is stunning off the shoulder, or perhaps try the traditional dress of the Queen of Egypt Cleopatra; The Queen of the Nile and the groom could be a Pharaoh. Or a Roman Centurion, or even an Emperor.  Your bridesmaids can be your royal serving girls, in floaty chiffon, and an array of colours. A truly dreamy tropical wedding. Your invitations could have Hieroglyphics all around them; they could be made on papyrus for a truly authentic feel. Your guests could also join in the theme of your tropical wedding by being in dress as well. 

Flowers could be tropical, or you could carry a sceptre with a few trailing ribbons. You could let of a basket of doves as the vows are finished to celebrate your union.  Jewellery should be truly stunning and Egypt offers a wealth of semi precious stones the main favourite being lapis lazuli the beautiful blue stone would stand out beautifully over your chosen gown and dripping from your ears. You look like a queen and for your special day that is exactly what you are. 

You drive from the hotel to your ceremony in a traditional horse and carriage that you could get the driver to put ribbons in his horses mane and tail. The carriage also could be decorated with ribbons and even flowers in your chosen colour, driving through Luxor to your destiny on the banks of the Nile like so many royals through out the centuries. Although the people will not kneel, they will stare in awe at the vision you have created to make this a true wedding in paradise, the most glamorous tropical wedding and it’s all yours. This day will live with you forever.

Under a cool white canopy guarded by statues of Nubian slaves, with tropical flower garlands trailing round the supports, the Nile flowing slowly down to Thebes, The warm perfumed air causing a gentle breeze. Your Egyptian headdress glistening in the warm sunshine. Your groom thinks he has just stepped into a paradise dream the vision in white and gold glistening in the hot sun, walking towards him with her female servants attending her. Vivid colours, heady perfume and the scene is set for a truly memorable wedding. The man of your dreams stood by your side your prince, your new husband, the scene is breathtaking.

A Pharaohs palace recreated just for you, the table spread with opulence, gems scattered here and there, the cake the most captivating centrepiece could be the pyramid or the marble columns from the temple of Karnack each supporting a tier. Where each corner is supported by a single Sphinx, and the queen and king of Egypt topping it off. Or perhaps topped with a tropical oasis and the statues of the king and queen stood under the shelter given by the palms giving a little coolness to the heat of the sun. 

A chocolate fountain cascading down to represent the flowing waters of the Nile and new life.  Traditional belly dancers, offering entertainment. in amazing veils and colours, gold and silver coins jingling as they dance. Tall candle stands with colourful flowers trailing round add a touch of authenticity to your dream wedding. You could also offer your guests Karkaday, a clear, bright red, native drink especially made like a tea but without milk it can be drunk hot or cold and is a refreshing drink at anytime but it will give the authentic Egyptian feel. Also it is said to calm nerves so a couple of glasses to start your day may help. Food is something to be savoured in Egypt using mostly fresh fruit and vegetables not only are they healthy they are full of colour. A wonderful end to your tropical wedding day.
