With the average engagement estimated at 14 months, couples have about one year at their disposal to prepare for their big day. But what if the wedding is scheduled during a period when the legendary wet and cold British weather reigns supreme? British couples who prefer to hold their wedding in a romantic place where the days are long and warm should consider the following options:

• Las Vegas

In case you both have hectic schedules and didn’t have time to properly prepare for the reception, then Las Vegas might be the destination wedding for you. A classic quick wedding destination, getting hitched in Las Vegas is as simple as showing up at the Marriage License Bureau with your passport and paying a fee. Rest assured that if you’re looking for a more extravagant wedding, Las Vegas is full of glamorous casinos that can provide you with everything you need.

• The Bahamas

In spite of the fact that the archipelago is not the most affordable wedding destination, it compensates via the incredible spots where you can get married. For instance, if you want a small, private and romantic wedding, then fly to one of the Out islands. Not only can you have an entire island all for yourself, but you can also exchange vows at sunset, if you want to.

• New Zealand

If you fancy the idea of a private and intimate ceremony, then New Zealand could represent the ideal place to say ‘I do’. As far away from the bustling British city life, New Zealand is renowned for its incredible landscapes, which you can take advantage of for your ceremony’s backdrop. On a side note, this is also the perfect destination for adventurous couples who don’t fancy the idea of sitting all day at the beach or in a luxury spa; don’t forget that Queenstown is the adventure capital of the world!
