The best day of your life should be in the most beautiful location. We’ve found four wonderful wedding spots that exceed even the highest expectations. Check out these inspiring destinations and you’ll be saying ‘I do!’ before you know it!
A wedding in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is even more romantic than you could imagine. Here you can have the entire ceremony in an actual palace. The Palazzo Vecchio was the most important government building in the city for many centuries, and features a variety of halls.
The largest, the Salone dei Cinquecento, dates back to 1494 and measures 53 by 22 metres in size. As the name indicated (cinquecento = 500) it can welcome 500 guests among the 39 frescos and stunning painted ceilings. Another unique hall is the Sala Rossa with its ruby upholstery on the walls and ceiling which haven’t been changed for over a century and a half, dating back to 1860.
Instead of going to a bright-pink wedding chapel and having a fake Elvis present the rings, a classy wedding is also on the cards in Las Vegas. Take, for instance, the Mandalay Bay hotel. In line with the extravagant Las Vegas style, the hotel features ten wedding locations under one roof.
Say your vows with your feet in the sand at the artificial Mandalay Beach, or exchange your ‘I do’s’ under water in the Shark Reef tunnel. After the ceremony, you can enjoy a festive dinner in one of the 26 in-house restaurants which feature a smorgasbord of world cuisines.
A wedding between traditional rice paddies and holy temples. Welcome to the romantic island of Bali. From the wide array of luxury hotels the island has to offer, we recommend Alila Ubud where you can marry between the orchids with stunning paddies and the greenest hills in the world as a backdrop. The hotel also features an infinity pool named among the 50 most beautiful in the world. Is there a better place to start the rest of your lives together?
After the official ceremony, there are unlimited options for your wedding party. A wide variety of cuisines are possible, from local rice specialities to Italian antipasti, and entertainment by traditional Balinese dancers.
Between the hills of the Yllas ski resort you’ll find Laino Snow Village, a miniscule village with a few wooden cabins, a snow hotel, an ice restaurant and a luxury spa. It is the perfect setting for a romantic ceremony in the snow, with a reindeer sled to take you to your wedding location over the torch-lit paths, and a steamy hot tub for when you return as a married couple at night.
Snow as far as the eye can see, and (if you’re lucky) hours of enjoying the Northern Lights against the jet-black skies at night. This is a wedding the Lapland way. Here you can tie the knot in an idyllic wooden church, a chapel made of ice or even a traditional shaman’s hut.
