Destination Wedding: Stateside

There are so many amazing places around the United States worthy of celebration and guaranteed to make any destination wedding unique.

Aspen, Colo., is a world-renowned ski resort town with amenities galore and amazing views. Any location is picture ready and guests will have more to do on their downtime than they will know what to do with.

Almost any site in Maine would serve as the perfect, naturally rugged getaway. In the late summer and early fall, Maine is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes, lighthouses and parks a couple could ask for in their backdrop.

Another northeast gem would be Newport, R.I., for a destination option. With ancient wealth, insane mansions and a beach nearby, there is a little something for everyone.

Zion National Park in Utah is home to some of the most amazing, natural wonders. With epic rock formations, gorgeous light and streams running through an ancient desert there is much to behold. Hiking through the park to find the perfect spot would be breathtaking enough to sell most couples on this desert retreat.

New Orleans has so much history, culture and beauty, making it a great place to plan a wedding. Without having such a major city feel or being too rural, New Orleans can be a perfect blend of the two. The French Quarter offers beautiful banquet halls and ballrooms as well as colonial homes and restored buildings. A little outside the city lines are historic plantations and resorts catering to the more southern style a couple could want for their special day.

Destination weddings on a beach are classic for a reason, but it can be fun and unique to consider something more original and catered to the couple.
