Our unique wedding customs, from gold and silver wedding cakes to a kiss under a moongate, make ?I do?s exceptionally memorable and delight our guests.

Bermuda?s moongates

Couples who kiss under our moongates ? the wedding-band-shaped arches found in gardens all over the island ? will, according to local legend, be assured a long and happy life together. Walk through one of our lovely stone archways, make a wish, and look forward to a joyful and prosperous future.

His-and-her wedding cakes

Traditionally, Bermudians serve two cakes at their weddings, one for the bride and one for the groom. The bride?s three-tiered fruitcake is covered in silver icing to symbolize their fruitful marriage. The groom?s single-tier pound cake with gold icing signifies prosperity. Both cakes are adorned with tiny cedar saplings that the couple may plant somewhere special on the island to embody their growing love.

Horse-drawn carriages

Travelling from wedding ceremony to reception in a romantic horse-drawn carriage is a time-honoured island tradition. The driver, formally dressed in navy blue Bermuda shorts, knee socks and a white hat, escorts guests to the celebration in a carriage festooned with flowers and ribbons.
