You\u2019ve dreamed about it almost every day leading up to it and always imagined it being perfect, so of course you want it to live up to those lofty expectations.<\/p>\n<p>One way to make your wedding especially memorable is to make it a destination wedding. Everyone loves an excuse to travel to a relaxing, picturesque locale, right? Well, then bring the family and friends out to one of these beautiful destination wedding spots to watch you walk down the aisle all dressed in white.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hawaii<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that this one makes this list. Hawaii is a bit of a trip for most people (read: basically all people) but it\u2019s well worth it. Maui has some surprisingly affordable options for weddings; the Big Island features a diverse 11 of the world\u2019s 13 climatic zones; and Kauai is so beautiful you\u2019ll wonder why you\u2019re leaving it to go home\u00a0 once it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Caymans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looking for world-famous beaches and other gorgeous scenery but want to avoid traveling halfway to Japan? Then you\u2019re probably looking for the British Cayman Islands. The Caymans are the go-to Caribbean location for wedding planners, and with good reason. These remote islands are packed full of scenery that looks like it belongs inside a frame on your wall. Consider the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort Spa, Rum Point or the Grand Old House for you nuptials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Florida Keys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Home to more than just delicious key lime pie, the Florida Keys are a fantastic wedding destination at the southernmost tip of the United States. The Keys have tons of shopping, nightlife and historic \u201cOld Florida\u201d locales in Key West. Key Largo and other destinations along the Keys, meanwhile, are filled with wildlife and laidback spots for nature lovers \u2013 as well as clear blue waters and white-sand beaches all around you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Puerto Vallarta, Mexico<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want to get away from the States? Think about heading down to Mexico to experience something a bit different while also enjoying an all-inclusive wedding package. Experience Puerto Vallarta\u2019s breathtaking coastlines and take a tour of the local foodie scene. Consider scheduling your wedding between December and May if you want to catch a glimpse of the amazing humpback whales that migrate to its shores each year. It\u2019s not uncommon for the massive creatures to show up unannounced for seaside nuptials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambergris Caye, Belize<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ancient Mayan ruins, verdant jungle scenery, gorgeous beaches, the world\u2019s second-largest ocean reef and an array of exotic wildlife are just some of the best reasons to get hitched in Belize.\u00a0 To get the most of the experience, you\u2019ll want to choose a waterfront setting (trust us) like the Victoria House, El Secreto or the Grand Caribe. You really can\u2019t go wrong with getting married at any of Ambergris Caye\u2019s spectacular beach venues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bar Harbor, Maine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thinking about something different than the always-popular exotic locations? Try heading up to New England and getting wed at Maine\u2019s scenic Bar Harbor. The rocky coasts and dark-blue ocean waters lapping up onto golden-sand beaches offer a beach scene that rivals any tropical location, but with a little New England flavor. Visit the iconic lighthouses and Acadia National Park and make some time for whale watching, bike riding or watersports. Here\u2019s a quick tip, though: go in September to avoid the huge summertime crowds and still enjoy lovely (if a bit crisp at times) weather.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Park City, Utah<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want to avoid the beach altogether? Try Utah during ski season (early December through mid-April). Park City, aka \u201cSki Town USA,\u201d boasts peaks so spectacular that you might mistake them for the Alps. Throw in the local feeling of European sophistication and you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve hopped across the pond without ever flashing a passport. Three excellent ski resorts and a location that\u2019s just 40 minutes from the Salt Lake airport make Park City a great choice for anyone looking for a winter-themed wedding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Napa Valley, California<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wine Country, USA is also Wedding Country, USA. The opulent landscapes full of rolling hills and deep valleys that are home to countless acres of vineyards that make for a fantastic romantic backdrop for any wedding. And don\u2019t forget about the world-class restaurant dishes and wines available in abundance. There are so many inns, resorts, spas and vineyards that the hardest part isn\u2019t deciding whether or not to get wed in Napa Valley \u2013 it\u2019s deciding where in Napa to do it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oh, and About That Ring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t have the perfect wedding without first having the perfect wedding engagement, of course.
