Being declared once as the world’s fashion capital, London is a multicultural city where culture meets fashion. The locals are dressed with an array of colours, designs and styles making it the largest and most diverse city in the United Kingdom. Tourists looking for hotels near Hyde Park London would find that Berjaya Eden Park London Hotel is a quaint building with a Victorian setting adding to the glamour and history of this city.

Much of the locals and tourists’ fashion styles are dependent on the climate for the day. As most days are usually gloomy, wet and cool; spring, summers and winters have a mind of its own as visitors might see more rain in spring than in winter. Always carry an umbrella, unless dancing in the rain on the streets of London is on the bucket list. Wellingtons or rubber boots, trench coats or jackets are a popular clothing item in London as the chances of using these accessories are quite high. Keep in mind that most people, although they dress with an air of glam and the latest trends; comfort is the key. Women typically boldly accessorise themselves with statement jewellery and eye-catching purses. From sneakers to stilettos, leisure apparel to designer wear, women’s fashion styles adds colour and life to the streets of London! Men’s fashion styles are no different, as the latest trends, comfort wear, various colours, styles and prints are popular amongst men’s clothes and accessories.

For an evening function or a cultural event, men and women don their best attire for special occasions. Shorts and flip flops should be avoided for a special evening function. Being smartly dressed, either in a dress and heels for women or pants and a button down shirt for men is usual on a night out in London. Also keep in mind that most clubs don’t permit jeans and sneakers.

If shopping has been allocated for a whole day in the itinerary, pack a minimum amount of clothes and get to the busy fashion packed streets of London to sport the latest trends and outfits.

With magnificent islands bordered by pristine white beaches, turquoise waters teeming with exotic marine life and golden sunshine throughout the year, it is no surprise that the Maldives has been awarded the title of ‘World’s leading island destination’ for a third time. An archipelago of almost 1,200 idyllic coral islands, it provides the ideal location for a dream vacation.

Apart from thousands of sun-worshippers, diving and water sports enthusiasts and families who arrive here looking to enjoy that holiday of a lifetime, the Maldives also attracts a special category of visitors – those who fly in for a destination wedding. With secluded islands, glorious sunsets, and warm and friendly locals, the Maldives as a location for a beach wedding is hard to beat. The fact that only Muslim ceremonies are legally recognized in the Maldives is no deterrent, judging by the increasing number of couples opting to seal their love in a romantic beach ceremony here or even go in for a more atypical exchange of nuptials under water.

Some beach weddings are preceded by an official ceremony back home while a renewal of vows is celebrated on a Maldivian beach. From romantic settings overlooking the Indian Ocean with vows exchanged under a flower-adorned tent surrounded by family and friends, fresh seafood barbecues to champagne breakfasts the morning after, every feature will be taken care of.

Beach wedding attire is another important aspect of a beach wedding and couples have the option of sporting local garb – a sarong for the groom and coloured dress for the bride. Others may prefer more traditional Western attire with a white wedding gown for the bride and suit for the groom. However, as the weather will be warm, light weight and comfortable clothes are recommended while high heels are not.

A growing number of Maldives Resorts are gearing up to offer all-inclusive wedding packages to meet the growing demand of this unique category of guests. Various Maldives spa resorts have special spa packages for bridal couples to indulge and relax both body and soul. The Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is a luxurious resort nestled on a breathtaking coral island. While offering the highest standards of comfort this hotel also adheres to Green Globe policies.
