The most popular type of wedding hotel, Sri Lanka has to offer are the beach resorts. These offer guests a choice between planning a simple low key wedding by the sea or a very lavish and traditional Sri Lankan style wedding. A simple ceremony by the sea on the soft sandy beach will be a tranquil affair while the traditional weddings eagerly arranged by hotels, include drummers and dancers to escort the bride. Traditional rituals such as blessings and chanting's according to Buddhist culture, flower arrangements, traditional décor and even setting up of a poruwa, which is a special decorative platform structure which the happy couple stands on for the exchange of vows. These and many other rituals are offered by beach resorts that specialise in Sri Lanka weddings.
