7 Indian Destinations We Wish Couples Would Get Married At!

I think more than often, as Indians, we don't quite realise how beautiful and diverse our country really is. And as much as we all love destination weddings, there's no shortage of exotic locations right in our motherland! It's just about finding the right place for you. Here are a few gorgeous places in India to get you started!

Hampi

Need a total retreat from all things city life, hustle, bustle etc.? Then why not opt for a place like the truly rustic hindu empire's ancient capital - Hampi! Imagine getting married amidst the regal ruins of the Vijayanagara Empire in Hampi (which is located in South India, in Karnataka). Hampi is a country-side village which is often overlooked and yet one of the most oldest and most beautiful parts of our country.

Mandu

Mandu in Indore has to be one of the most tranquil and offbeat locations for a destination wedding in India. The Jahaz Mahal in Mandu has some serious old world charm and could serve as the most unique and perfect backdrop to all those breathtaking photos you plan on taking! ;) Not to mention an ideal place for each and every wedding ceremony!

Mahabaleshwar

A Mahabaleshwar backdrop for your wedding is seriously just a dream come true. I mean, how lovely are morning brunches amongst a ton of greenery, mountains and just fresh air?! Remember the brunch mehendi from Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani? It was SUPER gorgeous. If you're going for something intimate but beautiful, look for resorts and spas in Mahabeleshwar - there is no way you can't fall in love with a scenic place like this!

Neemrana Fort (Near Gurgaon)

Located very close to Gurgaon, this ancient fort will take your breath away! Neemrana is the bearer of much history and is the perfect amalgamation of heritage and contemporary atmosphere. This is the ideal weekend getaway for those of you who stay in Delhi and a seriously stunning place to have as your wedding destination! Mussoorie (The Queen Of Hills) When you think of Mussoorie, you think of beautiful tree-covered hill tops looking down at the doon valley, the breathtaking view of the Himalayas at sunset, waterfalls, beautiful orchids and architecture, clear skies and twinkling stars. Overall, the entire place is rather dreamy! This place is the ideal hill station to get married at - if these are some of the things that excite you that is. ;)

Hyderabad

One place that tops them all - The Faluknama palace. Falaknuma (meaning 'mirror of the sky') is an iconic marble palace built in 1893 by Naqab Vaqar-ul-Umra - the nizam's prime minister. Some of Faluknama's rarest treasures include its large collection of venetian chandeliers, a jade collection, various works of architecture, paintings, manuscripts and carved balustrades. Basically, this particular destination lets you be a part of one magnificent chunk of history. Spectacular, right?!

Shimla

Imagine getting married amidst boundless greenery, hills and planning ceremonies around campfires outside a beautiful wooden forest house. Is this something you could totally picture? Then Shimla is apt for your wedding! Imagine the Himalayas as a backdrop for all your pre-wedding shoots and if you're a sucker for all things romantic, then this has got to be your pick. So now that you're spoilt for choice, what's your final pick? :)
