Destination weddings are all the rage as of late. From Positano to Provence, there are plenty of locations to have a destination wedding. However, today we’d like to take a look at why more couples are choosing Stockholm, Sweden, for their wedding and why you might want to too. As wedding photographers, we know how important it is to choose the right destination, so we’ve listed a few reasons why getting married in Stockholm makes that much easier.
It’s Exotic
While Sweden is one of the more popular vacation spots for Europeans, it isn’t the most popular spot for Americans. However, the diverse landscape, unique culture, and rich history make the country and the city of Stockholm, in particular, one of the best locations for a destination wedding. From mountains to small quaint villages, the area surrounding Stockholm offers up plenty of opportunities to work with your theme. No matter what ‘look’ you’re after, you’ll love what this part of Sweden offers couples.
Various Types of Backdrops
Whether you’re looking for ancient castles or modern cityscapes, Stockholm provides a rich architecture that you’ll love. Depending on what time of year you plan your wedding, you can also benefit from the diverse wildlife and scenery such as a stunning archipelago and wildflower meadows or snow rifts, within the city, or just a short boat ride away. No matter what type of backdrop or architecture you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Stockholm.
Ideal for Various Ceremonial Traditions
If you or your husband is Swedish but has moved away, having your wedding in Stockholm is a great idea. If you want to embrace your culture and heritage. Then having your wedding in the region where your ancestors came from makes your wedding personalized. Not to mention special. You’ll have access to ceremonial traditions of times past. Moreover, you’ll give your guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
