Roatán, like other Caribbean places, is a melting pot of many different cultures. As such, there aren’t really many wedding traditions unique to the island. Here are a few ideas to embrace the island vibes surrounding your big day:
- Welcome your guests with a gift bag of locally-sourced items, including chocolate, coffee, honey, or even hand-crafted trinkets to support local vendors.
- Use local flowers for your bouquet and decor in stead of traditional flowers. Roses are nice, but the island has many tropical options to choose from that will truly enhance your event.
- Incorporate island flavors at your reception. Serve locally-caught fish with coconut rice and beans, or even a garifuna-style machuka. Consider having tres leches cake with fresh fruit or a boozy spiced rum cake for your guests to enjoy.
This is just a peek at the many options available to you here in Roatán.
