Cayman Islands Presents Crate and Barrel Wedding Gift to Newlyweds

Couples now have yet another reason to choose the Cayman Islands as the setting for their wedding day; the Department of Tourism is offering an exclusive gift from U.S. retailer Crate and Barrel to couples who marry on the island.

Shipped direct to their door, newlyweds will receive either a trio of tabletop vases or a centrepiece bowl from Crate and Barrel's "Cayman Collection" as a thank you for choosing the Cayman Islands as the location for their wedding. Designed to reflect the brilliant colors of the sea, the contemporary Cayman Collection home accents come in aqua blues and greens.

"As far as I know, the Cayman Islands is the first Caribbean destination to offer such a promotion," said Rebecca Grinnals, strategic consultant to DOT for the wedding and honeymoon market. "We hope the beautiful gift will evoke happy memories for the couple of their time on our island paradise and remind them to come back again and again."

"We are excited to offer such a unique gift to our newlyweds, and we are very pleased to team up with Crate & Barrel, a brand associated with quality," said Pilar Bush, Director of Tourism. "This best of brands tie-in is very much in line with our wedding strategy and the promotion should do much to strengthen our position as the Caribbean destination of choice for discerning brides and grooms."

The wedding gift will be shipped directly to the couple's home address upon returning from their honeymoon and the program is available for stay-over bride and grooms while supplies last.
