Home to compelling art and architecture, quiet piazzas, narrow lanes, and medieval villages, Tuscany<\/a> presents a fairytale for fall weddings. The region in Italy provides a fine backdrop for weddings in the fall, thanks in part to the weather. Conditions are still mild and the tourists of summer have cleared out for the most part. Tuscany in the fall also presents loads of festivals and activities surrounding the harvest of wine, olives, and truffles. Harvest events can offer your guests loads to do and more importantly, to taste. One of the best parts about having your wedding in Tuscany in the fall are the venue options. You can get married in Renaissance palaces, in a vineyard, or under the roof of an atmospheric medieval church.<\/p>\n

Winter wonderland lovers need look no farther than Swedish Lapland for their winter weddings. While Sweden<\/a> is acclaimed for its Midnight Sun in the summer, the country delights in winter just the same thanks to its wealth of mountain resorts for snow-related activities and the chance to view the northern lights in places like Abisko National Park. For a truly unique wedding experience, head to the tiny village of Jukkasj\u00e4rvi in Swedish Lapland. The village proudly houses the world famous hotel made from ice, the Icehotel. Built every year in late October, you can welcome your guests to a structure composed of 30,000 tons of snow and 4,000 tons of ice. There is also always a chapel on-site where you can get married and then host your reception in the ice-covered structure.<\/p>\n

From the snow and ice of Swedish Lapland to the atmospheric fall foliage scenes in New England, planning your fall or winter wedding will leave you having a difficult time deciding where to say \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n
