Washington DC’s answer to “where are the best places to get married?”

Have you ever wanted to get married in a different country? Maybe you have scotish in your blood or your fiance’s family is from india. Who knows maybe you’re just interested in a particular culture and would love to mix their wedding traditions into yours?

I am bride to be and have often wondered myself what it would be like to get married in another country or somewhere on the other side of the US. There are so many beautiful places around the world. Why should I limit myself to the Washington DC area? Then I realized…I don’t. And neither do you. So I’ve been doing my research DC. And here’s what i’ve come up with for the best wedding locations.

 White Sand Beaches Wedding

Imagine hearing the words, “Welcome to Mauritius,” as you gaze over the clear waters and dig your toes into white sand. Small breezes blow around your hair and kiss your cheek and you feel absolutely revitalized and so in love. It’s truly for the romantic soul. So if you’re one of those women who utterly love sappy romance flix and novels, I think Mauritius is like that to me.

Have the chance to wear a beautiful summer wedding dress. And sip on a cocktail before you walk the beach with your partner.
