If you've always dreamed of sun, sea and sand on your wedding day, but you don't want to cart your friends and family overseas, there are many destinations in the UK that can be perfect for tying the knot amidst gorgeous surroundings - particularly the seaside capital of Brighton.
The most convenient seaside destination for people living in London and much of the South East, Brighton has long been associated with the leisurely lifestyle, and can be a very romantic destination to make your vows.
If you've chosen Brighton as the location for the big day, you won't have to worry about finding appropriate wedding venues - as many other people have had the same idea, and the city's wedding industry is considerable. Many churches, chapels and hotels in Brighton offer bespoke wedding packages for couples, whether you desire a religious ceremony or something more contemporary.
You could even get a head start on your honeymoon when exploring the city's romantic and sensual side. Popular tourist hang outs such as Brighton Pier and the Royal Pavilion can be the ideal backdrops for moonlit walks, the latter also being a great spot for photo opportunities for your wedding guests with its distinctive Oriental dome and other Arabian features.
Unless you're jetting off for your honeymoon right away, you could also enjoy a romantic evening and wedding night to remember by staying at one of many romantic hotels in Brighton, some of which are well known for their gorgeous views over the sea and the city's landmarks.
If you've chosen a Brighton hotel as your wedding venue, you may also be able to arrange accommodation for your entire party - but such exclusivity typically requires that you arrange your stay far in advance. There's more to a hotel stay than just a place to sleep too, and many of Brighton's leading hotels also have excellent restaurants on site, as well as spa treatment rooms to help you and your guests unwind in luxurious surroundings.
If you're happy to leave the catering and menu options to the hotel's discretion, you could also look forward to sampling local delicacies during your time in Brighton - including oysters, which are a well known aphrodisiac. Brighton's nightlife is also renowned throughout the UK, so you won't be short of places to go once the ceremony is over, to spend time with your partner as well as your closest friends and relatives on your special day.
