On the most special day of your life, you have a huge desire for everything to go right. The ceremony, the people, music, timing, suits, the dress, bridesmaids, the cake, the flowers, the atmosphere! It can be so exhausting trying to keep everything together. When you have to deal with family and extended family coming in from far away, finding places to stay and catering to all of their needs, it stops seeming like your day and starts to seem like it belongs to everybody else!
A choice that is quickly growing in popularity is to host your wedding overseas. Picking a location that will make for a memorable day, gives people an added incentive to attend, and, more importantly, a location where everything is in one place. Having a wedding in Fiji is also a popular choice and one that can make you feel more relaxed that everything will go just right for your special day.
Fiji is located in the Pacific Islands and is easily accessible by air from Australia, New Zealand and around the world. As an idea of how long it takes to get there, flying from Auckland, New Zealand to Nadi, Fiji takes a little over three hours and depending on where in Australia you travel from it can take anywhere between three and a half and five and a half. So it’s not too far for you or your guests (should you decide to have any of course) to travel.
Fiji is home to a rather romantic legend about the creation of the national flower, which is unable to be grown anywhere else in the world. Tagimoucia (tahng-ee-moh-theea) is a beautiful red flower which grows in the rainforests and around the remote crater of Lake Tagimoucia.
