After two years of scaled-down ceremonies and empty venues, 2.5 million weddings are expected to take place over the summer.

After two years filled with pandemic-caused wedding cancellations, postponements, and quarantine engagements, 2022 is predicted to be the biggest year for weddings since 1984.
Although this influx of weddings will inevitably cause issues in relation to planning and cost (average cost is also expected to go up), destination weddings are looking all the more appealing after two bleak years of travel restrictions and quarantines.
As wedding season swiftly approaches,&nbsp;L'Officiel&nbsp;has gathered the top wedding destinations for 2022.&nbsp;

The vibrance of Portugal makes it the ideal spot for a destination wedding. Whether you want a city-centred spot, a garden, or a beach wedding, Lisbon has it all, with a wide variety of venues that accommodate small and large parties.&nbsp;

Filled with various different venues with panoramic views of the lake, Lake Como is the ideal destination for a picturesque spot for your nuptials.&nbsp;

Who wouldn't want the backdrop of a classic Greek sunset at their wedding? The food, architecture, and sparkling blue water of the Aegean Sea make this spot perfect for a dream destination wedding.&nbsp;

A destination wedding classic! And for good reason. The serenity of Tulum is unmatched, its white sand beaches are perfect for a classic and magical beach wedding, and the venue options are endless.&nbsp;

Phuket is a highly versatile spot for a destination wedding. Whether you want to have a 2-in-1 wedding/honeymoon spot, get married on the beach, or say your vows in the jungle, one of the many local wedding planners in Phuket can make your dream wedding a reality.&nbsp;

The little island of Ireland packs a huge punch of beauty. Abandoned churches, jaw-dropping cliffs, and stunning backdrops make this spot ideal for a destination wedding. More specifically, the Cliffs of Moher, the most dazzling spot on the Irish coastline, with unparalleled views of the Atlantic.&nbsp;

Only accessible by way of Auckland, New Zealand, the Pacific Island Niue is the ideal spot if you want an intimate wedding with few onlookers with incredible views of limestone cliffs jutting into the ocean.&nbsp;

Arguably Australia's most iconic wedding destination. Hayman Island, a private island open to the public located off the coast of Central Queensland, is the ideal destination for a wedding in Australia. You'll be right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef with access to many different wedding venues.&nbsp;

Cebu is where the city meets the tropics. Not only that, but it also has an incredibly lively wedding industry perfect for a destination wedding. The venues here are endless&mdash;each with equally unique and picturesque backdrops for your special day.&nbsp;

Cape Town has a climate perfect for destination weddings. Whether it be on a vineyard or overlooking panoramic ocean views, Cape Town offers a wide variety of spots for your wedding.&nbsp;
