Bournemouth Gears Up For Launch Of 2012 Beach Weddings

Bournemouth Gears Up For Launch Of 2012 Beach Weddings

By:


It might not be the warmest or most exotic wedding destination in the world but Bournemouth in the United Kingdom is gearing up for the arrival of brides and grooms in 2012 after the town received permission to conduct beach hut weddings.

Earlier this year, the council gave the town permission to conduct beach weddings and couples have already started booking their romantic ceremonies for next year.

Many couples are choosing to book beach wedding ceremonies in the English coastal town rather than heading off abroad for destination weddings in tropical and more exotic locations, and this is good news for Bournemouth and its economy.

Bellissimo Wedding Planners has signed a contract with the council and they will offer a range of special wedding packages for couples planning beach weddings in Bournemouth between April and October 2012, with prices starting from 999.

The director of the company, Melani Kiani, was only expecting 14 bookings in the first year but the bookings are continuing to come through. The weddings that are already booked will be taking place throughout the year, and on weekdays as well as weekends.

She explained: We have had 16 bookings for 2012 and two for 2013.

Its been really successful. We have had a lot of interest both locally and nationally. The majority of people making enquiries are not local, which is great for Bournemouth.

It means people are coming for a weekend, they bring their families, eat in restaurants and spend money.

Couples who book the special package for weddings on the beach in Bournemouth can enjoy the services of a professional wedding planner, cliff lift arrival for the bride and bridesmaids, music for the arrival, a wedding arch, a ceremony in a special beach hut next to the West Cliff lift, a drinks reception, and stylish dcor. Couples can also hire a marquee for an additional fee where they can invite up to 400 guests.

Melani added: A lot of the people really want a beach wedding but they cant afford to go abroad or cant travel for family or health reasons.

The first Bournemouth beach weddings will take place in 2012 and the initiative will help encourage British couples to book weddings on home soil instead of postcard-perfect weddings abroad, while attracting brides and grooms from all over the UK and Europe to the golden sand beaches of Bournemouth.
