For those planning a wedding in Kenya, these are people that have an adventurous spirit and as such should let their imaginations run wild if they want their wedding to be memorable. One of the major issues to tackle as you plan a wedding in Kenya is the backdrop of the ceremony. Some of the options to choose from include the beach, wilderness tented camps, riverbanks or even remote safari locations. The choices are truly limitless.
Weddings in Kenya can be conducted in many ways including having it on the beach barefoot, relaxing under the canvas or even have it in the traditional formal black ties and wedding gowns. Because of its mix of formality and wilderness experience, this has becomes Kenya's trademark of a romantic safari lifestyle which makes it easy to arrange a honeymoon or wedding in Kenya.
For those that love to hold a beach wedding at one of the beach resorts, a typical wedding scenario is where the reception of the hotel is radically transformed and turned into a wedding chapel decorated with stunning tropical flowers. The ceremony is then officiated by a priest or marriage registrar after which the guests head to the reception where they get to sample the local sea delicacies. Thereafter, the evening dance follows which then brings to an end the joyful occasion.
