A marriage is something worth marking in style. After all, ideally you’re going to throw a wedding just once in your life. In fact, even if this is your second, third, or tenth marriage, you might want to spend a little extra energy (and money) making the occasion truly memorable one.
Among the most important considerations, of course, is the venue. For luxury weddings, it’s often a good idea to go overseas. Let’s take a look at some of the most inspiring wedding destinations that the world has to offer.
Italy – The Gold Standard of Luxury Weddings
For many, Italy represents the very top of the luxury wedding market. It’s a country that’s packed with iconic settings – ranging from the natural splendor of Lake Como, to the pastel-hued townhouses of the Amalfi Coast, to the labyrinth of waterways that is Venice.
These destinations have enjoyed surging demand among wealthy jet-setters who prize drama and exclusivity. After all, Venice is where Jeff Bezos chose to hold his wedding.
Maldives – Private Island Exclusivity & Elevated Personal Details
If you want your experience to be truly private and exclusive, you’ll want to find an island destination that’s utterly shielded against private eyes. The Maldives is iconic for a number of reasons, ranging from the distinctive overwater accommodation to the pristine white sands. You might even elect to make the day truly memorable by exchanging your vows underwater.
Of course the best way to elevate a wedding of this kind is through small touches. You might look at heirloom jewelry, or bespoke wedding attire. Many couples are now favoring diamond wedding bands, which can take things to an entirely new level.
France – Romantic Estates & Grand European Elegance
You might think of France, and its iconic capital, Paris, as among the world’s most romantic destinations. But more secluded corners of the country are increasingly proving popular among high-end tourists and wedding planners. You might pick out a châteaux in the Loire Valley for a multi-day experience. Provence and the famous French Riviera are similarly suffused with luxury. Of particular appeal might be the architecture and prestige, as well as peerless French cuisine.
Hawaii – Tropical Luxury With U.S. Travel Convenience
A tropical island paradise might appeal for obvious reasons. But visiting one needn’t mean sacrificing the convenience of a U.S. destination, because there’s a ready-made state that’s perfect for American tourists. Hawaii is the top honeymoon destination among Americans, and, thanks to world-class resorts and hotels, it can offer multi-day adventures packed with adventure and relaxation.
