While these destinations are some distance from the UK, "they are popular with UK couples as they are viewed as the perfect backdrop to celebrate love in an intimate, secluded, and most importantly, beautiful setting," said Ursula Barzey, Marketing Director, Weddings Abroad & Honeymoons. "Also, celebrity couples like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who recently had their honeymoon in the Seychelles has helped to make these picture postcard islands quite popular."
