I think it'd be fair to say that the vast majority couples plan their weddings around warmth and sunshine, praying that the heavens will not open on their special day. However, I think there is something incredibly romantic about a winter wedding, think roaring open fires, the soft glow of candle light, snow capped mountain peaks, rich a warm and ambient environment. If the idea of a cosy romantic winter wedding abroad appeals to you, then look no further than having your wedding in Austria. Vienna is wonderful at Christmas time with traditional Christmas markets and festive lighting all over the city and the Austrian Alps offer many unique locations where you can combine your wedding with a spot of skiing. Although, Austria isn't just beautiful in the winter. If you are looking for a wedding destination that combines history and culture, then Vienna is a fairytale setting that has its own unique charms in every season. And the natural beauty of the Alps, Austria's meadows, pine forests, crystal clear lakes, rushing streams and fast flowing rivers will not disappoint the nature lovers in the warmer months. Having been captivated by Austria on a recent visit I would whole heartedly recommend it as a wedding destination.

Having your wedding in France is bound to add an extra touch of romance to your day. If anyone asked me for my number one choice for a wedding destination abroad, the honours would have to go to France. Okay, there may be a slight bias here as it was the setting for my own wedding abroad. However that aside, I am certain if you have your wedding in France you will be guaranteed stunning scenery, fine wine and food, impeccable service, style, sophistication and an extra sprinkling of romance! France is a truly wonderful destination for a wedding abroad and I know you and your guests will be captivated by its charms. In fact if you choose to have your wedding in France one of the most challenging aspects is deciding which of the many beautiful locations and venues will set the scene for your big day. Unfortunately France has some of the most stringent residency requirements of all the European countries, as such, many couples who would have otherwise chosen to get married in France choose an alternative destination. My advice is that you don't have to let the residency requirements stand in the way of having your dream wedding in France. My husband and I certainly didn't, we opted to have a "secret" civil ceremony in the United Kingdom prior to our wedding day and then had a highly personalised humanist wedding ceremony on the day of our wedding.
