We have definitely seen an increase trend in couples from across the globe opting to tie the knot in a picturesque country, like Africa. But when I came across this gorgeous Zimbabwe Safari wedding, I see why this landscape, the people and the variety of stunning cultural aspects make it such a great place to get married. Corey and Lynette Perkins flew all the way to Zimbabwe from the United States for their wedding. It was the first time Lynette had been back in her home country in four years and the first time the groom had met her family.
Yes they even had a cute special guest :) How cool is this photo with an elephant?
The groom is American and even though he hadn’t met his in-laws before, they seem to have gotten along great.
The beautiful bridal party jumping for joy!
Love the wooden fram shots the photographer incorporated in their wedding photography. Great & low cost!
Love the colors of the bridesmaids traditional Zimbabwean dresses. The patterns, tangerine & lime green really pop!
The sweetest part of this couples lovely wedding story is before their wedding day, the couple spent time building a safe-house for young girls suffering from abuse.
Ceremony setup right under a symbolic tree! Very simple but so classic.
When choosing a location for a destination wedding, many couples choose tropical islands as an easy and low cost option, but why not go for a gorgeous country like Zimbabwe, Senegal, South Africa or Ethiopia since there are an abundance of stunning locations to choose from. Love how this couple incorporated traditional dancers at their wedding.
The couple also honeymooned at beautiful Victoria Falls.
Overall from these gorgeous photos from Corey & Lynette we see that Zimbabwe is truly a remarkable destination, set apart from other international weddings locations due to the warm hospitable nature of the people and meticulous attention to detail and amazing scenic views. Congrats to them for staying true to themselves and having a beautiful love!
