Destination Locations: France
Planning a Parisian Wedding
If you are tired of reading about the same destination wedding packages to the Caribbean, and especially if you are not necessarily enamored with the idea of a tropical wedding, consider France—one of the most romantic and geographically interesting countries in the world. France has 22 provinces, and many could make wonderful destination wedding locations. Here are a few French traditions you could incorporate into your wedding:
- In provincial areas, the groom will call on his bride on the morning of her wedding day and escort her to the wedding chapel.
- The groom usually escorts the mother down the aisle before the wedding precession begins.
- When the couple leaves the wedding venue, guests sprinkle laurel leaves in their path, which the bride and groom walk over.
- At the reception, after the toasts have been made, the newlyweds drink wine from an engraved, double handled goblet (which has typically been passed down through the generations).
As far as destination wedding locations are concerned, France is a gorgeous country, full of culture, museums, art, vineyards, incredible food, gorgeous beaches, amazing countryside, ski areas (if you get married during the winter), mountains, and charming little villages. Your guests will love exploring the different regions in France or spending some time in the City of Light!
