Blue waters, open skies, and miles of sand can make for a great wedding destination. It is a great feeling to take your marriage vows with just the sound of the waves behind you.
There are serene and pristine beaches that you can find on the coast all along Kerala but particular mention can be made of those in Alleppey, Varkala, Kovalam, etc. Varkala is home to many small cliffs near the beach that have spectacular views of the waters and the sunsets. The beach at Bekal lies adjoining the biggest fort in Kerala so that you can have a regal backdrop for the wedding ceremonies. The Kappil Beach with very few people on it is yet another exciting choice.
You can choose to have a western style wedding on a beach or a typical Indian style wedding. Why there is enough place to even bring the groom on an elephant.
All of these places are accessible by air, road or train lines. All that remains is your choice of the destination.
Wedding Destination 4: Backwaters
The backwaters of Kerala are unique in every respect. There are waterways that are miles long fringed with swaying palms in the breeze. The environs are calm and quiet barring the boatmen who quietly go about their daily lives.
The waters are lined with quaint little towns, unpolluted but brimming with natural beauty. These locations are perfect places to get hitched. If you want the environment to add up with wildlife and exclusive flora, that too is possible.
Why you can get married on a country boat with accompaniments of the traditional percussion. All these make for a great setting with unique options.
