Imagining a romantic beach wedding? Or maybe hoping to elope for some adventure? Check out this list of the top 10 wedding destinations to say “I do” in 2014 for some exciting destination wedding ideas.

Greece

With ancient architecture that leaves even non-history buffs in awe, and crystal-clear waters bordering idyllic coastlines, Greece is truly one of the world’s most romantic destinations. Get married against the backdrop of Santorini’s famous white-washed houses and black and red sand beaches, or on glamorous Mykonos Island, where you’ll be torn between waking up early to enjoy the sun, and staying up all night to experience this island’s buzzing after-hours entertainment. Greece may have faced some economic challenges over the past few years, but the result is that travel in this country is cheaper than ever, and even the most popular tourist sites are much less crowded.  Greece has been the host of some of the best destination weddings and easily makes it into our top 10 wedding destinations.

Fiji

Fiji’s icing-sugary white-sand beaches, lazy palm trees, and colourful coral reefs come pretty close to the classic vision of paradise. This country’s long-time popularity as a wedding destination means that there is no shortage of lovely venues, with a range of resorts, chapels and scenic gardens available. Fiji’s heavenly beaches are the perfect setting for a barefoot ceremony in the sand, or go for something more exotic and say “I do” in front of a misty waterfall. Then spend some time bonding over Fiji’s exciting activities: Scuba dive hand-in-hand, surf, or unwind in the natural hot springs.

Spend your evenings sipping Scotland’s famous malt whiskey in charming country pubs, tour crumbling castles, explore fascinating museums, or discover the culturally-rich cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

If you’re searching for the perfect scenic backdrop for your ceremony, get married in the picturesque fields of Tuscany, the luxurious Italian Riviera, or the gorgeous Amalfi Coast.

Argentina

If you can’t decide between glamour and adventure, then head to Argentina for the best of both. Its capital, Buenos Aires, exudes European chic with sophisticated shops, stylish sidewalk cafes and elegant architecture. While Buenos Aires is undeniably enchanting, Argentina’s real beauty lies in its diverse natural landscapes: towering peaks, lush wetlands, rambling deserts, immense ice fields, and lovely lakes. Embrace Argentina’s gaucho spirit and get married at a ranch in Patagonia, or pamper yourself at a relaxing spa venue overlooking Argentina’s beautiful countryside.

France

Paris is practically synonymous with romance, filled with iconic monuments, artisan shops and lavish cuisine. Consider a ceremony in front of the Eiffel Tower, or on a luxurious yacht sailing down the Seine. Spend your days eating flakey pastries in sidewalk cafes and your evenings sipping wine from world-famous wine regions like Bordeaux and Provence. However, France’s charms don’t stop in the city of lights: Say “I do” in a traditional church in a pretty French village, in a snow-dusted log cabin in the mountainous Pyrenees, or in one of the historic villas and castles scattered throughout the country.

Thailand

With ethereally-beautiful beaches, spicy cuisine, warm-hearted locals and ornate temples, it’s no wonder why Thailand is such a popular destination for weddings. Imagine a beachfront ceremony against the backdrop of Ko Phi Phi’s bright blue waters, or choose between secluded bungalows and luxurious villas on Ko Samui. For something a little different, head to Thailand’s cooler northern regions and tie-the-knot in a verdant jungle or in front of a thundering waterfall. Opt for a traditional Western wedding, or incorporate Thailand’s peaceful Buddhist traditions into your special day.
