Destination weddings are exciting, beautiful, warm – imagine that?! and for adventurous souls. But did you know you can still have your favourite suppliers? We share 5 surprising facts about weddings overseas, inspired by English Wedding member and luxury destination wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J.
Destination weddings work with any wedding budget
Couples often expect a destination wedding to be cheaper than a UK wedding. You can choose to save – or spend! – wherever you get married though! A micro wedding in the south of France might cost less than a grand celebration in an English country hotel. If you’re spending more on your day, a luxury wedding in Greece might work out the same as a traditional English wedding.
We have the perfect scenes of beautiful tranquility for you this morning, with Claudia and James’s Greek island wedding. The styling is perfection; the setting is out of this world. Huge thanks to Elegante by Michelle J for sharing such a stunning day with us!
Michelle Jacobs of Elegante by Michelle J was our wedding planner – she was a dream to work with and took a lot of the stress off us in the planning process and on the day.
Cartalia provided perfect stationery in the pocket style we wanted.
Vikki and Nick were married at Antica Fattoria Di Paterno, a collection of castles and historic houses known for their luxury destination weddings. They celebrated with a reception in the courtyard as the sun set, and it’s beautiful.
We’re in love with Vikki’s dress – the tulle layers and floral embroidery make a lovely statement, and we adore the timeless style! The photos of the bride in the Tuscany sunset are breathtaking, with the light on the dress falling just perfectly… who wouldn’t want to get married in Italy when it’s this beautiful!
We’re over the moon today to be sharing stunning images from beautiful Shloka Narang‘s wedding in Mumbai. When we first saw these pics we were smitten, and a peek at @Shloka’s insta and the lovely words she’d written about her wedding to Shiv grabbed our hearts and gave them an extra squeeze!
“After having to delay our huge Indian wedding four times due to the pandemic, Shiv and I decided to have an intimate 50 person affair to celebrate our love for each other and to do our Hindu wedding ceremony. Starting with a list of 800 and cutting down to 50 was a task in itself! We decided to do it in Mumbai, India, which is where I am from originally.”
We’re sharing this delicate loveliness to inspire those of you dreaming of a wedding in France. Lovely French wedding photographer Joanne Rabenarisoa got in touch earlier in the year to send this dreamy photoshoot, and we couldn’t resist sharing it with you! There’s a full supplier list below. Enjoy!

This styled shoot has been inspired by the bay of Arcachon, in the Southwest of France, near Bordeaux. This area is very famous for its fresh and delicate oysters that can be savored all year long. As a French wedding photographer from this region, I wanted to bring up a small group of local vendors and models to help me illustrate the charm of our winter season.
