Italy
Las Vegas
Florida
Costa Rica
Bermuda
The overwhelming majority of these locations feature beaches and tropical climates. That’s no surprise. Tropical beaches provide one of the most romantic possible backdrops for exchanging vows. Whether you choose a barefoot wedding in the sand or a small chapel with a view of the ocean, it’s hard to beat the beach when it comes to destination weddings.
While a destination wedding may seem extravagant and out of reach, most couples planning a destination wedding are balancing practicality with indulgence. Almost all of the top trending destinations are within easy reach of most cities in the United States. Although only two of the destinations are actually within the mainland United States, all but Italy are fairly easy to reach.
With the exception of Las Vegas (which has its own special history as the wedding capital of the United States), all the locations on the list seem to favor romance above all else. The least accessible location on this list may well be the most romantic. It may not be practical, but what could be more romantic than a wedding in Italy? From history to vineyards to beautiful small villages where everybody speaks the original “Romance” language, Italy has it all.
