Destination beach weddings can be overrated. How about getting hitched in a winter wonderland instead? There’s nothing more romantic than a classic, all-white wedding at winter wedding venues. If you’ve been dreaming of a snowy wedding, we know just the spots to go abroad for the most gorgeous, snow-filled backdrops.

A Stunning Finland Wedding in Winter

For a Finnish wedding with all the stops, host your reception dinner at Katajanokan Kasino, a historic restaurant with the finest touches, like gold plated mirrors and extravagant gardens perfect for any refined occasion.

The next morning, take your guests less than eight minutes away to Restaurant Saaristo, an awe-inspiring wooden mansion complete with a red roof.

Nothing says glamour like the white interior of the venue located next to the frozen bay. Your guests will be taking pics from dawn to dusk to compete for the most envy-inspiring Instagram photos.

If you’re going to tie the knot in Finland, why not incorporate some of their wedding traditions into your ceremony?

Unlike American weddings, in Finnish ceremonies, the groom and the bride enter the wedding venue and walk down the aisle together. So grab your partner, rings and bouquet and head down the aisle, step by step.

After all, you’re going to embark a lifetime together, so why not start the journey now?
