The Bahamas embody everything there is to love about tropical, romantic escapes. Plus, the short plane ride from Florida won't leave you wilted with travel exhaustion. Hundreds of islands make up the extensive paradise known simply as the Bahamas. They are large – like Grand Bahama Island – and tiny – like any number of small, secluded islands perfect for the ultimate romantic adventure or private wedding.

On New Providence Island you'll find the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau. The Botanical Gardens in this unique island city give you a perfect, deliberately trimmed glimpse of the brilliant colors the Bahamas produce. This brilliance provides a number of breathtaking backdrops for the perfect destination wedding. You can have a traditional church wedding on the islands or say your vows with nothing but blue sky above, colorful foliage behind, and miles of stunning sand below. You can choose from any number of traditional white sand beaches or add yet another color to the photographer's palette with the unique pink sands along Harbor Island Beach – one of the most popular in the Bahamas. For a classic, Old World wedding tableau, the French Cloister is a collection of Gothic stone structures in the immaculately trimmed Versaille Gardens at the Ocean Club on Paradise Island. This resort is popular for honeymoons as is the exclusive Sandals Hotel and Spa. But there are many accommodations to choose from, perfectly balanced with the island's beauty and filled with relaxing, luxurious amenities.

The Bahamas are not just for weddings and honeymoons, but theses islands are certainly perfect for romance. Within them you can find the nightlife you love, the modern attractions you need, and the exotic seclusion you crave. They are filled with natural wonders among which you can also find historic charm. The romance begins the moment you step on land, and you'll never want to leave it behind.
