Nothing spells wonderful than a lavish wedding in a palace; a palace by a quaint lake, with a history that will bring goose bumps to your skin. Now wouldn’t that be a good wedding story to tell your grandchildren? The Jag Mandir Palace in Udaipur promises that and more. Situated by Lake Pichola, this opulent structure will take your breath away and make you feel like a queen. A little extravagant maybe, but hey, a wedding is a one time affair, isn’t it?

Alila Diwa – Goa: 

If you’re the kind of woman whose idea of a perfect wedding is an after-wedding party on the beach, with delicious fenny and scrumptious lobster, then the Alila Diwa in Goa is just right for you. This hotel is situated in the charming little village of Majorda and is surrounded by greenery so pristine, it will bring tears to your eyes.

Dakshineswar Temple – West Bengal:

Nothing means more to a pious Indian couple than a simple but beautiful temple wedding. Though many temples in India perform wedding rituals, the Dakshineswar Kali temple in West Bengal caught my eye for its sheer magnificence and allure. Call it the power of Kali or the old-world charm of Kolkata, this beatific temple situated on the banks of the Hooghly River is just the right place for a quiet but sacrosanct wedding.

Hotel Amarvilas – Agra:

Who wouldn’t want to get married in a place where the symbol of a forever after kind of love, the Taj Mahal resides? The Oberoi Amarvilas offers a very regal, Mughal perspective on all things romantic as the hotel itself is majestic, and affords a view of the Taj Mahal. Beautifully conjured structures and colours give way to a wedding that can only be dreamed about. If you are a hopeless romantic and would want nothing short of a magical wedding, this venue is just right for you.
