Plus the pictures are cool! So here we have a list of the most popular places in India when it comes to destination weddings.

These places have been a hot favorite of the to-be brides and grooms all over the country for a while now. Let us start –

RAJASTHAN

Literally any city in Rajasthan is a hot favorite when it comes to destination weddings. Just look at the number of famous people who got married here in the past couple of years alone! Though Jaipur and Udaipur are more popular, other cities like Jaisalmer and Pushkar attract quite a few future brides and grooms too. The reasons for Rajasthan’s popularity as a wedding destination are apparent. The whole royal ambiance with culturally rich experiences makes it unique. Not to forget the folk specialties!

GOA

The most obvious one on this list but who can blame us? Goa has always been almost everyone’s first choice when it comes to things like trips, vacations or parties. Destination weddings are no different… and we can understand why. Imagine getting married on the backdrop of the beautiful ocean and all the pre-wedding and post-wedding pictures showing Goa’s architectural magnificence. Add to that the all-year-round great weather and you are ready to go!

MUSSOORIE

Step aside, it’s the turn of the queen of hills herself to take the stage! The beautiful view from atop a hill, the breath-taking sunsets and lush natural beauty- everything about Mussoorie are perfect for a destination wedding out of a fairytale! It may sound like an exaggeration but just imagine being married under the clear skies surrounded by nature… sounds picturesque, doesn’t it? A perfect destination for a summer wedding!

HYDERABAD

Less obvious but it is not really surprising to see Hyderabad on the list. Its rich culture and mouth-watering cuisine in addition to the architectural brilliance of this old yet modern city- makes a perfect backdrop right?

KERALA

This one is just starting to gain momentum but owing to its natural treasures and the iconic backwaters, Kerala is expected to emerge as one of the major destination wedding spots in the near future.

ANDAMAN

Ah… the Andaman! It has dozens of islands, all one-upping each other when it comes to tourist attractions and is a natural paradise. But the Havelock Island is emerging as a popular destination wedding spot even among them. The golden beaches and clear skies, good weather and blue sea… who wouldn’t want to get married in such a setting?
