Your destination wedding deserves to be everything you have ever wanted and more, and now more than ever it has never been as easy to achieve. With such a wealth of stunning destinations around Europe, the difficult part is not finding where, but more deciding which. Take a look at some of our top choices for the most stunning locations for your winter wedding destinations.
For the Stunning Snowy Landscapes
Halstatt, Austria
Average Winter Temperature: 3 degrees
Not a particularly obvious choice for your dream winter destination wedding, yet certainly one not to be overlooked.
Halstatt, in the Salzkammergut region of Austria, is a picturesque little town nestled on the shore of Lake Halstatt, and is growing ever more popular for its authentic, rustic beauty, and simple way of life.
The town is often stumbled upon, or recommended by fellow Austrians, and is a true hidden gem.
Lapland, Finland
Average Winter Temperature: -6 degrees
No dream Winter Wedding Destination list would be complete without a region synonymous with the magical season – Lapland!
Famed for its ties with Christmas, enjoy the spectacular scenery in Lapland, complete with igloo hotels, Reindeers and even views of the incredible Northern Lights.
However, with temperatures plummeting as low as -6 degrees, make sure you pack a coat…or several!
Zakopane, Poland
Average Winter Temperature: 2 degrees
Another ‘off the grid’ selection, yet an immensely popular choice for those in the know, Zakopane in Poland is a tremendous option for your dream destination wedding, particularly in winter.
Situated at the base of the Tatras Mountains, the area becomes covered in snow during the winter months, providing a serene backdrop to your big day.
Furthermore, there are a wealth of winter activities that can be enjoyed by the whole wedding party, with sweeping mountainous views that will ensure that your wedding day is completely unforgettable.
For the Wonderful Winter Sun
Marrakech, Morocco
Average Temperature: 20 degrees
If cold temperatures are not your thing, a winter wedding in Marrakech should be top of your dream wedding destination list.
With realms of history, the stunning city provides all that the perfect destination wedding requires; magnificent architecture, bags of eccentric culture and plenty of wonderful weather for your guests to escape to.
For total 5-star luxury, take a look at La Mamounia for the perfect venue.
Portofino, Italy
Average Temperature: 15 degrees
As a country that is known all around the world for its dazzling love affair with romance, Italy will always make the list for dream wedding destinations, whatever the season.
If winter sun is what you are searching for, however, as far away from the breathtaking Alps may ensure that warmth is more likely.
Try Portofino or the Amalfi Coast for some truly stunning backdrops.
Santorini, Greece
Average Temperature: 15 degrees
Iconic white buildings, splendid blue domes and views for days…what more could you want from your wedding destination?
Still basking in sunshine, the island of Santorini is a remarkable spot to host the most important day of your life, and with the plethora of stunning restaurants and hotels, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to the reception.
For sweeping coastal views, make sure you take a look at some of the best restaurants of Santorini with a view.
