Krabi is an incredible destination wedding location. Featuring stunning beaches, lush tropical gardens and many beautiful hotels and resorts, couples will be spoilt for choice when planning the details of their union.

Step 1: Pick the Ideal Backdrop and Venue

Krabi is a remarkable travel destination with stunning views and plenty of excellent backdrops to create beautiful weddings. Opting for a beach wedding in Krabi has always been a popular choice among lovebirds. The beautiful coastline, the swaying palm fronds and the gentle waves make the beach an excellent backdrop for your wedding. Of course, you can also choose a lush tropical garden to create a sort of magical atmosphere with fairy lights and golden lanterns. You can always pick a reception hall to steer clear from the uncertainty of tropical weather and to make sure that your guests are all comfortable. For those who are adventurous at heart, there is also the option of getting married underwater, surrounded by beautiful tropical sea creatures and the warm waters of the Andaman. Whatever your choice may be, you can arrange the details easily if you work with a great hotel such as the Anantara Si Kao Resort.

Step 2: Arrange the Details

Of course, picking the venue and backdrop is the easiest part of the process. If you pick a popular wedding hotel, you will most likely be able to get a great wedding planner to help you with the details. The next step is to figure out what sort of décor you will be having, the food, the entertainment and the photography. You can choose to hire a photographer from Krabi or you can fly one in from home. While the local photographers and videographers may be the cheaper option, you can make your choice based on the style of the photography that you prefer. As for food, Thai food is absolutely delicious and would most certainly please your guests if it is on the menu. Another thing to think about is the décor. Traditional Thai décor is a popular option as well as simple Western décor. You can choose whatever theme you like and the wedding planner will handle the rest. If you are concerned about the cost, be sure to discuss it with your planner so that you can make more cost conscious choices. Opting for local flowers and decorative elements will reduce the cost significantly. There may even be decoration packages that you can choose from. Don't forget about the honeymoon! With the many beautiful islands and other destinations in Thailand, you will be able to enjoy an amazing honeymoon at the end of your wedding.

Step 3: The Legal Aspects

Those who are not citizens in Thailand will need to go through some special preparations in order to make sure that they are legally married. Most couples take the easy route by getting married in their home countries and then having a beautiful ceremony in Krabi. However, if you wish to go through the whole process in Thailand, make sure that you have all the necessary paperwork ready to get everything done on time. You will need a letter of affirmation from the embassy for both partners which states that you are able to marry and are single. Divorcees will need certified copies of the divorce decrees while widows or widowers will need to have the death certificates of their spouses at hand. You can get all the documents verified by the embassy and then to take them to the Amphurs office to register your wedding. The obtaining of the wedding certificate won't take long from then on. After these steps, you will be legally married in Thailand and ready to get on with your beautiful ceremony. Of course, in order to make sure that you are legally married at your own country, you will need to take the necessary steps and to gather up the necessary documentation.
