Unforgettable winter wedding destinations

From Narnia-inspired snowscapes to a tropical romantic escape, we’ve got the best destinations to make sure that your winter wedding is bigger than Christmas.

• Trento in Italy

Northern Italy offers loved-up couples a combination of romantic landscapes (those rolling hills, those idyllic farmhouses) and mild, dry weather to ensure that your trip to the church is fuss-free.

While Verona and Lake Garda are more well-known destinations with plenty of options for elaborate celebrations, the historic town of Trento provides old-world charm and a relaxed atmosphere. Toast the happy couple with one of Trento’s famous, local wines for a wonderfully-memorable reception.

• Lake Placid in New York, USA

When it comes to enchanting wedding destinations that look like they’ve come straight from Pinterest, Lake Placid in the state of New York is hard to beat. And when the winter months come around, the lake becomes even more impressive than usual with ice-skating on its frozen surface, a blanket of snow covering the ground outside and frost-tipped foliage.

For a wedding location to complement the silvery surroundings check into The Whiteface Lodge. This wooden structure offers couples the chance to say their vows in front of the Adirondack Mountains.

• Jukkasjärvi in Sweden

The Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi is made out of ice cut from the nearby Torne River and filled with ice sculptures from international artists. While heated rooms are available, sleeping in the icy ‘Art Rooms’ under a blanket of reindeer hides and thermal sleeping bags is a special way to spend your wedding night.

And if you want to keep the ice theme going, why not hold the ceremony next door in the hotel’s Ice Church? Open from December to April each year, the Ice Church embodies pure, glittering romance.

• Bariloche in Argentina

Based in the foothills of the Andes, the city of Bariloche is often referred to as ‘Little Switzerland’, thanks to the Santa’s workshop-like assortment of chocolate shops, ski runs, snug bars and plenty of snow. Book into the Llao Llao Resort for a white wedding that won’t turn your guests blue with cold.

• Turks and Caicos in The Caribbean

Are you looking for a white winter wedding but don’t fancy the freezing temperatures that usually accompany snow? Well turn your eyes to the white sand beaches of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

While the islands have more than enough luxury hotels and venues to host your wedding party, the COMO on Parrot Cay offers an extra special experience. The island’s laid-back vibe and sublime views are best experienced from the COMO’s infinity pool, and what better place to say your vows than on a private beach, overlooking the Caribbean Sea?
