Next, we are back over to the Caribbean for our unique destination weddings list.

 

5. Aruba

 

This city is the sixth most visited Island that you will find in the Caribbean and this is because it has a beautiful weather all year round, what’s not to love about constant sunshine!!!

With so many attractions in this captivating Island and plenty of lush tropical greenery as a backdrop, you will quite literally be spoilt for choice! Look here to find how to book a visit to some islands. For me the major pull factor of Aruba, amongst the many brilliantly cute coloured townhouses ( which I just love) have to be the flamingos and the crystal clear white sand!!! I would love have my wedding here, to watch the flamingos, relax on the pristine beaches and if you are feeling more adventurous, swim with the sharks!

 

Activities to enjoy

Whether it’s horse riding, biking, dinner parties, snorkelling, or sailing with a top class lunch, see here for all the exciting activities.

Watch out for the sugar strands that are a sight to behold and the Island never sleeps (the nightlife is always bubbling). You could head out on your wedding eve to some of the casinos in the city (don’t bet too much though) and there are enough high-rise hotels to cater to your guest and they could get some beautiful artefacts from the numerous boutiques in the city. This way they also get to have fun on your special day.

However, if it is a huge wedding with a lot of guest coming around, then you would have to hold it at the City Hall which is a beautiful building right in the city centre.

But this won’t stop you from holding your other ceremony in other parts of the Island once you are done with the official ceremony. Located right in a prime location (south of the hurricane belt). So you don’t have to worry about any form of “terrible wedding weather” on your special day, yet I would make sure you check out any potential storms or that might be predicted, so that you can plan ahead.

Zipping back across the ocean to Portugal.

How could we not put Portugal into the mix of our most popular places for unique destination weddings?

Portugal, Spain and Italy are all some of the best places you can visit in Europe amongst so many others for your destination wedding locations, yet Portugal has captured my heart in an ooooooh so special way.

 

 

6. Portugal

 

Portugal, beautiful weather all year round, with mild winters and lots of sunshine, great food, wonderfully friendly people and much of the country that seems to be covered with the cutest trees, what’s not to love about this unique destinations wedding location? If you’re an adrenaline junky, then this is for you, your honeymoon will be unforgettable.

The wedding venues here are just unbelievably beautiful, stylish and hot for the taking. Portugal does have a wealth of wedding venues available that you can use as a hidden paradise for destination wedding venues that are affordable destination weddings as well as the most luxurious wedding venues in the world. If Madonna just bought a house to renovate and moved there, there must be something special about it right!

Let’s start the ball rolling with my absolute most favourite place in Portugal, Sintra and then on to Bussaco.

 

 

Sintra is a hidden gem for a unique destination wedding location

 

If you love antiques, history, interiors and magnificently decorated palaces, then you must consider having a destination wedding in Sintra. Sintra truly is a historically, sensational place that the aristocrats and Kings of Portugal would reside in.

 

It has an abundance of 19th century striking architectural monuments palaces dotted around the area and each building has its own unique story to tell, Sintra has thus gained a Unesco World Heritage status. It is not hard to see why. Not only are the castles here are out of this world but many of them date back to the 8th and 9th centuries.

 

Pena Palace for quite an extraordinary destination wedding on a hilltop

Many of the main castles such as the Pena Palace which is not only astonishingly colourful and magnificent on the outside but is also equally on the interior, elaborately decorated with astonishing antiques. The Pena Palace is quite literally, and I mean literally situated right on top of a mountain. The best way up their is by bus or taxi, but definitely not by walking! As you can imagine, the views when you get up there are pretty sensational.

Below is the Queluz Palace. It is situated outside Lisbon just as you enter into Sintra and sits in such a quiet place, that is far from the hustle and bustle of Pena Palace.

If you’re wondering, whether these spectacular venues host destination weddings, yes,  each one allows weddings . ( I would get help from a wedding planner from below to get more information and to have someone on the ground to help you get organised). Each time you discover a new palace, there are so many to explore, it’s as though you have discovered a new jewel. It’s like going on an adult Easter egg hunt!

Monserrate palace

7. Bussaco

 

Years ago, when I actually visited this place for the first time, it left  a deep and lasting impact on me and we have since returned there every single year, for 15 years.  As you drive up the winding typically “S” shaped roads that curve up the Luso hills you slowly begin to realise that you are driving up quite a height. Yet with barely anything but trees and a few old abandoned villas you start to thing where on earth you are going and if you will ever get anywhere.

Then on your immediate left an orchard of  orange trees perched up on a cliffside are a welcome sight and soon afterwards you arrive at the gate for the grounds of The Palace Hotel of Bussaco, a place known for when the Portuguese kings would stay during hunting expeditions.

As you enter through the large stone gate columns and after a few more twists in the road you come to what appears like an enchanted ancient woodland that has captured time and remained timeless. You almost expect to see Jane Austin ( if in England) running around the corner flitting about in a long length dress or at least Robin Hood and his band of merry men.

Is is as thought the rest of the world was cast out and this place stood eternal in its solitude, yet that was exactly what happened. Intrigued?

Large ancient gardens for lots of photo opportunities

The Bussaco gardens and sculpted from beautifully shaped little hedges and the grounds extend for miles and miles into a dense thick forest of trees. Many centuries old with many species collected from all over the world and cultivated by the Barefoot Carmelite Monks who lived in confinement for more than 200 years from 1630-1834.

The walls around the exterior of the forest extend for 5000 metres which at the time prohibited the cutting down of trees and banned women from entering! The air of mystique and many hidden corners of delight, make this forest the perfect, perfect place for the best wedding photography possible. There is even a convent of Santa Cruz, covered in mosaics, from 1628 standing resolutely right nest to the Palace.

This place it truly steeped in mystery and unseen delights.

The magnanimous Palace de Bussaco was built between 1888 and 1907 by an Italian architect Luigi Manini, influenced heavily by the Portuguese Age of Discovery. The palace itself has great feats of structural design, from carved stone, to twisting intricate design and exquisitely shaped windows, immense stained glass windows and enormous mounds of tiles that tell a story in their own right.

 

Palace interiors

The palace and the entire grounds are a testament to time and an incredibly romantic, meaningful destination wedding venue. The interior is equally as impressive. The monumental treasure trove of carved complexed stone decoration and exuberant doorways, and equally as awe-inspiring grand stairways and colossal blue tile statements win the heart over immediately.

The Palace holds a select few weddings every year but it is far from crowded. It has the most elegant dining rooms which large vaulted dramatic ceilings, fit with all the trimmings for a luxurious destination wedding.

 

Here’s a link to this incredible destination wedding venue.

8. Azores for a rather exotic destination wedding location

 

Following on from Portugal we hop straight onto Azores for our next place in our hunt for destination wedding locations.

Picture majestic dramatic landscapes, vast green valleys and pastures, inspiring hedgerows of blue hydrangeas, hot springs, caverns and column structures formed over time by long gone volcanic lava, deep blue lakes encircled by lush forest, 30 blue flag beaches and perfectly warm diving waters with teaming with everything from damsel fish, moray eels, marlin, tuna, turtles, lobsters and did we happen to mention that you for for whale watching expedition? It truly is an impressive garden of Eden. Oh, and it’s on the list of Unesco World Heritage sites.

9. Madeira

Hopping along to another island, for our most thinking outside the box destination wedding locations hotspot, we visit Madeira. Situated in the centre of the Atlantic, the Portuguese island of Madeira, also alongside Porto Santo, stands as an outstanding area of natural beauty and a haven for the wild and glorious. Known as the floating garden, or the pearl of the Atlantic has a plethora of magical things to enjoy.

If you’re an adventurous couple, then get ready to take a walk on the wild side, through winding dirt paths into mists of clouds. Enchantingly green mountains stand spectacularly tall with peaks of 1,860 metres, topped with tufts of cotton clouds.

Madeira’s diverse landscapes, impressive volcanic cliffs, lush greenery and its tropical blooms for which this haven has become famous for can be found all year long make this the perfect destination wedding location.

The north of Madeira is more wild and rural but the south around Funchal, has been catapulted to fame, due to its being the famous footballer Ronaldo’s home. Funchal has since been developed with some of the finest hotels, coupled with a vibrant and diverse food range sure to please some of the most discerning visitors.

10. Wales

 

Among the best destination wedding locations to get married in the Europe, we have to head out to Wales, U.K, the land that Catherine Zeta Jones comes from and calls home.  If your looking for buckets of fairytale charm, visions of Jane Austin and a powerful overwhelming feeling charm, history and sophistication all wrapped into one, then you have to consider exchanging your wedding vows at the Chateau Rhianfa in Wales.

If you’re a castle fanatic, then this is one of the most perfect destination wedding locations for you. The drive down through the small country roads is a treat in itself.

On the drive down to the island of Angelsey to Chateau Rhianfa, you’ll pass dozens of monumental castles steeped in hundreds of years of history, castles knitted into the woodland facades, abandoned yet still standing resolutely strong, miles of rich coastline and many beaches along the way will be enough to woo you to the side of the road for a good break along the way.

Intimate destination weddings

Chateau Rhianfa can easily accommodate around 60 people, so it perfect for a small luxury wedding party. It’s has three large stately lounge rooms, that all have large floor to ceiling windows that provide the most spectacular views over the direct view to the beach. It’s grand banquet room, fashioned from deep wood is quite large and can easily host around 150 guests. The grounds hold many unique little areas that are perfect for wedding photographers.

11. Over to France for some destination wedding magic in Chateau Vaux le Vicomte

 

 

France is another perfect destination wedding location, the land that represents the epitome of romance, sophistication and elegance. Rather then look at the iconic Eiffel Tower, there are masses of grand chateaus dotted throughout France fashioned by Italian architects, that would catapult any destination wedding straight into something far from cliche but mesmerising instead.

If you are thinking about a destination wedding in France, look at this blog post, here.  It takes a close look at this Chateau and looks at other Chateaus of the same calibre that sit around the edges of Paris.

Immaculately situated in vast royal landscaped gardens Chateau Vaux le Vicomte is so immaculate that it has been used to film more than 80 television productions! Yet surprisingly it is not over run with hoards of tourists. The walk up to the entrance gates seduces the heck out of you and as you walk around the gates to the impressive entrance you are completely taken aback and transported to a magical world.

 

Sightseeing around the Chateau

If you are going to have a unique destination wedding here, you must urge your guests to fly in a day or two ahead, so that they can spend at least a day exploring the grounds and the Chateau. It holds a multitude of Italian antiquities and richly decorated with heavy baroque beauty, elaborate tapestries, wall hangings and the ceilings! Oh the ceilings are magnificently painted and your guests can stand there transfixed, staring up at the immense painted work.

12. Northern California – Point Reyes

 

Next, for our unique destination weddings  we venture onto the protected coastline of Point Reyes. Where is Point Reyes I hear you ask? It is found in the northern part of California, called the Marin County not far from San Fransisco.

An area of outstanding beauty, if you’re a nature lover, or have always loved the idea of a beach elopement or even and engagement session, this really is on of the most picturesque places you can venture out to.

Point Reyes offer many options from hilly ridges, mountainous peninsulas, ancient trees and mounds of grass, to a landscape of open grasslands, a long shore that stretches out into the distance with endless bounds of crashing waves.

California also offers many other locations like the Orange County beaches, Napa vineyards, Santa Barbara ranches, Big Sur luxury lodges and Lake Tahoe ski lifts ( depending on the season that you plan your visit) are perfect wedding locations that will add a bit of spice to your wedding if you choose to come to this city.
