From the sun-soaked beaches of Bali to the old-world charm of Tuscan villas, let these six destination weddings inspire you to plan a celebration that takes you and your guests on a journey worth remembering.

Destination weddings have always held a special kind of magic, and in 2025, more couples than ever are choosing to celebrate their love abroad — not as an extravagant escape, but as a thoughtfully curated experience. Today’s couples aren’t simply picking a beautiful place to say “I do”; they’re choosing destinations that reflect who they are, what they value, and how they want to celebrate with the people closest to them.

From the beautiful Bali to up-and-coming destinations like Bintan and Koh Samui, and the timeless romance of Tuscany, these six couples’ enchanting destination weddings will inspire you to plan your own celebration beyond borders — one that feels intentional, deeply personal, and true to your love story.

1. Rebecca and Kin – Colonial-Eclectic Luxe at AYANA Resort Bali

Timeless yet playful, Rebecca designed the wedding around the aesthetic of colonial black-and-white tropical houses, with personal touches like brass frog and chicken figurines and a greenhouse-inspired marquee entrance. With her creative vision at the heart of the wedding’s visuals, their happily-ever-after was immersive and personal despite their large number of guests.

2. Dorothy and Wan Xin – Heartfelt and Contemporary at Tirtha Uluwatu

Dorothy and Wan Xin’s Bali wedding was rooted in emotion and authenticity, placing heartfelt moments front and centre. Set against the dramatic cliffs of Tirtha Uluwatu, their celebration, their celebration was intimate yet beautiful. From joyful, slightly imperfect moments like a first dance learned together online to fireworks lighting up the night sky, the wedding felt honest, fun, and deeply personal.

3. Chanelle and Jay – Intimate Italian-Inspired Romance at BVLGARI Resort Bali

Chanelle and Jay’s Bali wedding felt like stepping into a beautifully curated European getaway, set against Bali’s dramatic cliffside views. Drawing inspiration from Tuscany, they wove travel-inspired details throughout the day, while thoughtfully blending meaningful traditions like a tea ceremony with a refined Western celebration.

4. Theingi and Yancong – Effortless Sunset Romance in Koh Samui

Theingi and Yancong had originally planed to return to the beach in Myanmar that they fell in love with, but when they couldn’t, they set their sights on Koh Samui and had the sunset wedding they’ve always wanted. They kept their décor simple to highlight the breathtaking backdrop, using a low floral arch of whites and greens for their ceremony and fairy lights for a relaxed dinner under the stars. They kept the affair chill and joyous by opting for a buffet dinner instead of a set-course meal, and filled the night with games, music, sparklers and a fireworks show.

5. Tricia and Immanuel – Laid-back Elegance in Bintan

For their destination wedding, Tricia and Immanuel returned to a place that already held special meaning — Hotel Indigo Lagoi Beach in Bintan, where they had fallen in love with the destination during a previous getaway. As their second celebration, the wedding was intimate, elegant and filled with easy joy. With 115 loved ones by their side, the couple embraced a relaxed, heartfelt affair that unfolded like a seaside retreat, allowing everyone to slow down and celebrate together.

6. Amanda and Timothy – Modern Tuscan Elegance at COMO Castello Del Nero

Amanda and Timothy were drawn to the timeless beauty and romantic landscapes of Tuscany, choosing a historic 12th-century estate as the setting for their “I do”. Surrounded by 90 of their closest family and friends, the couple celebrated their happily-ever-after amid the castle’s dramatic architecture and rolling Tuscan countryside. The intimate gathering allowed guests to fully soak in the experience, creating memories that lingered long after the celebrations came to an end.

The destination weddings of 2025 signal a shift in how couples choose to celebrate their love. Beyond the scenery, these celebrations were thoughtfully crafted, centred on shared experiences, and deeply personal. With more couples seeking intimate, meaningful weddings that reflect who they are, destination celebrations are set to become even more sought-after in 2026 — not as an indulgence, but as an intentional choice.
