Enchanted Caribbean Wedding Themes

By Lauren Ertl | April 12, 2022

A Caribbean destination wedding at the all-inclusive Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts and TRS Hotels in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic marry five-star luxury to celebrations custom-designed by renowned New York wedding and event planner Karen Bussen. 

Fabulous themes define the Weddings by Palladium collection: fragrant roses and flowing curtains add vintage elegance to any ceremony and reception with the Bliss in Bloom design while hanging ivy and blooming orchids create a dreamy Evermore wedding, with birdcages filled with flowers serving as centerpieces on every table. For Timeless beauty with a touch of bling, lilies and roses are paired with pearls and crystals to create a sparkling reception. The Waves of Love theme adds starfish and seashell decor, sheer curtains gently unfurling in the ocean breeze, and baby’s breath-filled beach pails lining the path to the altar.

Each of the oceanfront Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts and TRS Hotels can arrange a Caribbean wedding that’s as laid-back or stylish as the heart desires. A dedicated wedding coordinator works with couples to ensure that every element lives up to their romantic vision, from food and music to decor and location, welcome drinks to rehearsal dinner to the wedding day itself.

In addition to the simple elegance of a sunset ceremony on the beach, Weddings by Palladium venue options include resort wedding chapels, gardens, and seaside terraces. Ceremonies are easily tailored to the needs of same-sex couples, and Weddings by Palladium also has special South Asian wedding packages that include traditional mehndi and sangeet parties.

Wedding guests will enjoy the world-class hospitality of a Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts and TRS Hotels stay, which includes multiple all-inclusive dining options, endless activities and entertainment, and immersive relaxation at the spa, in the pool, and on the beach.

With the Weddings by Palladium collection, the entire resort stay becomes part of the celebration, starting with special room rates and upgrades for the bride and groom and continuing with private check-in, group dinner reservations, nightly turn-down service, and access to the hydrotherapy area at the Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness center. Breakfast in bed, a sparkling toast after the ceremony, and a unique wedding gift help make a Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts and TRS Hotels wedding indelible from beginning to end.

After college, she joined the DID team and never looked back.

As the first publication dedicated to destination As the first publication dedicated to destination weddings, here are some things we will not do…

• require vendors pay to submit their work to us
• only feature weddings with $100,000 budgets
• ignore the need for diversity in the couples we feature
• share mostly celebrity weddings on our insta
• tell everyone a destination wedding is right for them

Since we’re always looking to improve, what are some changes you hope to see in the wedding media space? 🤔
Why settle for a venue that stays in one place? 🌊 Why settle for a venue that stays in one place? 🌊 Anchored in total luxury, a wedding aboard a superyacht like the Evrima is truly unmatched.

How exactly do interactive vendors liven a destina How exactly do interactive vendors liven a destination wedding celebration? 

While a stunning backdrop and a great playlist are foundational, the secret to a truly vibrant weekend lies in shifting guests from passive observers to active participants. 

By integrating stations like live painters, custom hat bars, or roaming oyster shuckers, couples can break the ice naturally and spark genuine conversation among their guests!
