When it comes to the Big Day, many couples choose to kick it up a notch by marking it in a place that adds a little more magic than your standard hometown celebration. The \u201cDestination Wedding\u201d is a thing: bringing all of your friends and family to a place that will not only make the ceremony extra-special but will grant them a Life Experience that they\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

Brides, if your head is spinning over all the many places on the globe you can choose from, we\u2019ve narrowed it down to six hot locations for a \u201cdestination wedding\u201d that are proving to be truly unique choices. Check your passports and get ready to make your wedding one for the books!<\/p>\n

\"punta<\/p>\n

PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC<\/h3>\n

Fantastic beaches, elegant hotels, spas, jaw-dropping scenery\u2026what more could a bride and groom want? This eastern region of the \u201cDR\u201d has become known for super-serving a \u201cDW\u201d (Destination Wedding) with plenty of luxe resort options, five-star amenities and impeccable service at every turn. Your party can also explore gorgeous cliffs and waterfalls, tour historic sites, enjoy a rejuvenating time-out at luxurious spas — and even hang out on a few private islands.<\/p>\n

\"marrakech<\/p>\n

MARRAKECH, MOROCCO<\/h3>\n

It’s been nicknamed “The Red City” for its vibrancy, color, and exotic flavor. Lose yourself in lush gardens (which make perfect backdrops for photos) and ancient architecture that dates back more centuries than you can count. The light in Marrakech is known to take on a \u201cgolden\u201d tinge which adds an enchanting touch to every moment of the ceremony \u2013 before and after (meaning: everything and everyone<\/em> looks amazing in photos). For couples with a sense of adventure, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n

\"bar<\/p>\n

BAR HARBOR, MAINE<\/h3>\n

If you want to keep things within the continental U.S., Bar Harbor is one chic town that offers plenty of breathtaking waterfront locations, and a color palette that mixes the dark blue of the Atlantic ocean with golden beaches and extraordinary sunsets. Oh, and there are lighthouses. Your guests can indulge in kayaking, biking, whale watching and exploring one of America\u2019s best natural landmarks, Acadia National Park. Plus, let\u2019s not forget the abundance of fresh \u201clob-stah\u201d to partake of.<\/p>\n

\"santa<\/p>\n

SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA<\/h3>\n

On the other side of the U.S. is Santa Barbara, often called the \u201cAmerican Riviera.\u201d This elegant destination offers world-class, wedding-centric resorts, magnificent ocean views, and gorgeous beaches. You also can\u2019t beat the weather (less than 79 overcast days per year, and only 3 when the temperature gets above 90 degrees). Throw in plenty of warm Spanish architecture and the Santa Ynez mountains in the background, and you have a can\u2019t-miss locale for your \u201cI do\u2019s.\u201d Wine-tasting excursions and exceptional hiking are enticing post-wedding activities.<\/p>\n

\"lake<\/p>\n

LAKE PLACID, NEW YORK<\/h3>\n

If a \u201cwinter wedding\u201d is your dream, head to the heart of the Adirondacks, a city which has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. You’ll be charmed by the “Alpine Village” vibe, but impressed by the chic resorts. Photo ops are enhanced by the mountain vistas and lakeside backdrops (there are 3,000 lakes in the area). Naturally, plenty of outdoor winter activities –skiing, snowboarding, horse-drawn sleighs, dog-sledding and more \u2013 will give guests of all adrenaline levels a thrill.<\/p>\n

Lake Placid is also popular if you\u2019re planning your nuptials for Fall: the foliage is like nowhere else on Earth, which makes hot-air balloon wedding ceremonies a popular choice.<\/p>\n

\"phuket<\/p>\n

PHUKET, THAILAND<\/h3>\n

Yes, at first glance, it may seem a little extreme. But you\u2019ll find that the wedding packages offered by this exotic southeast Asia location offer a ton<\/em> of value for the money. Once there, your guests will be dazzled by the ancient shrines, eye-popping white-sand beaches, elephant rides and the natural beauty encountered at every turn. If so inclined, couples can also indulge in an elaborate Thai Buddhist ceremony that involves monks offering blessings and wrapping them in a special flower garland. One word: \u201cunforgettable.\u201d<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

PS: Another way to add extra sparkle to your wedding plans is with a dazzling, one-of-a-kind cubic zirconia engagement ring.<\/a><\/p>\n

And consider gifting your bridesmaids, groomsmen and family members with very special jewelry mementos. We offer affordable, one-of-a-kind cubic zirconia rings<\/a> that will remind them of the love, the fun and the adventure that your destination wedding gave them. Let us help you design something as unique as your event!<\/p>\n
