The wedding season is back with a bang in 2022. After two years of intimate weddings, this year has proven that ‘Big Fat Indian Weddings’ will never cease to exist. With destination weddings also seeing a comeback, it’s interesting to note the selection of destinations. Yes, Rajasthan still remains a popular choice in India, but if the pandemic has thrown light on something it ought to be the fact that India is a country replete with natural beauty. From the hills to the beach, and architectural gems, here are a list of destinations for your wedding day other than Rajasthan!
It can’t get more romantic than tying the knot with the Taj Mahal in the background. A place that is home to the monument of love, along with the rich Mughal culture, if royal and grand is your memo, then this is the perfect destination for your wedding. Agra is undoubtedly one of the most stunning wedding destinations in India under the dark blanket of twinkling stars. And for us, the buck stops at The Oberoi Amarvilas for a wedding to remember.
While beach weddings are a dreamy affair, the hills have a charm of their own. With picturesque views and serene landscapes, getting married in the Queen of the hills, Mussoorie is a great idea. Not only is the view of the mountains a delight to the eyes, but if a summer wedding is on the cards, escaping to a cooler destination would be great. And it can’t get better than JW Marriott Mussoorie for a lavish celebration.

The backwaters of Kerala are not given as much credit as they deserve. Be different from the rest as you pick this as one of the top destinations for your wedding, with a unique wedding dinner on a houseboat. An agreeable destination for those who desire a quiet and picturesque ceremony, beaches covered with coconut palm trees, make the backwater heavenly. We recommend Kumarakom Lake Resort.

What this Indian destination wedding brings about is the prospect of entering a new realm, away from the mainland, in the midst of white sand beaches, and possibly in an astonishing private resort. Comprising idyllic beaches and lush green forests, choosing this as your destination promises magnificent beauty while you’re in the midst of nature. The Havelock Islands is one of the most charming places to tie the knot and so is Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans.

There’s nothing as scintillating as the wisp of fresh air in the hills, especially when you are tying the knot.

Warm bonfire nights and sunny winter lunches are what weddings are made of at Wild Flower Hall Shimla.
