1. Breathtaking Tropics: Bora Bora, French Polynesia
For couples yearning for an exotic paradise, Bora Bora in French Polynesia offers pristine beaches and turquoise waters. Exchange vows against the backdrop of overwater bungalows and coral reefs. For the ultimate escape and combining a stunning honeymoon location then this is one that will tick the boxes. The drawback – it is very far away and a significant investment if you are planning on having family and friends attend. If you do choose this incredible far flung destination then you will want to choose a lightweight and flowing wedding dress with tropical-inspired details like floral lace or beading to capture the essence of this tropical haven. We love the Milla Nova range for dresses perfect for a luxury long haul wedding.
