Seychelles participated in the first wedding show of 2015 at Paris-Porte de Versailles from January 31 to February 1 in partnership with travel agency Votre Voyage.

Organized by Marions-Nous! Magazine and the website www.sitedumariage.com, the show launched the latest collections of more than 2,000 exhibitors. Future brides could find everything under one roof: fashion and wedding gowns, wedding planning, decoration, caterers, entertainment, photos & videos, invitations, honeymoons, jewelry, etc., the weekend meeting spot for all brides to be.

This show is planned at the beginning of the year compared to others in Paris which usually takes place in the last quarter. 20,000 visitors were expected for this weekend with future brides often accompanied by their families and friends.

Votre Voyage was the only travel agency that participated with partners such as the Seychelles Tourism Board, represented by Ms. Jennifer Dupuy and Solea Vacances, a tour operator specializing in the Seychelles destination.

Honeymoon requests were mainly for “island destinationsโ€ with many for the Seychelles, especially as the destination has remained intact and preserved its beautiful postcard image, charm, and romantic allure.

The trends show that newlyweds leave just after the wedding or a few days after the ceremony, so the requests were mainly for this year and often less than 6 months in advance. A large budget is put aside for the trip, and the destination is well chosen to ensure an unforgettable honeymoon.

Marions-Nous! Is one of the leading magazines for weddings in France since 1996 and the website www.sitedumariage.com is the first wedding portal with 300,000 members (newlyweds and future brides).

Seychelles is a founding member of the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP) .
