How To Dress For Wedding Season, No Matter The Location

How To Dress For Wedding Season, No Matter The Location

While wedding season comes around every year, this year feels particularly special. Holidays and events are set to begin again, warmer weather is bringing with it the buzz of summer anticipation, and the blossoms are readying themselves with blooms of white and blush to envelop newlyweds in petals of confetti.

Whether you’re looking to pop the question or planning ahead for the big day, we’ve uncovered the world’s most Instagrammable engagement and wedding spots for some matrimonious inspiration. With locations included from across the globe, we’ve made sure to offer our insights on the perfect ways to style our cashmere for the occasion, no matter the clime. 

Reviewing Instagram data for some of the world’s romantic retreats, we’ve collated Instagram’s top ten proposal locations based on hashtags including ‘proposal’ and ‘engagement’, and hashtags including ‘wedding’ for Instagram’s top ten wedding locations. 

Europe and North America come out on top for hosting the most Instagrammed hotspots for weddings and proposals. Europe takes up six out of the top ten proposal locations as well as six out of the top ten wedding locations. Meanwhile, North America scores three locations in the top ten places to propose, and four of the top ten wedding locations. 

France is the most popular country for declarations of love, taking first place for both the most Instagrammed proposal and wedding locations. For betrothals, Paris takes the heart-shaped biscuit, while the French Riviera proves most popular for weddings. 

France and Italy both boast four features across the two lists, including iconic romantic troves like Paris, Rome and the French Riviera. Greece and Hawaii both feature twice - once on each roundup. The stunning Greek island of Santorini is unsurprisingly on both lists. In Hawaii, however, it seems Instagrammers are getting engaged in Kauai and married in Maui. 

Take your pick of these breathtaking locations for your special day and explore the full results below.
