10. San Diego, California
Weather is always at the top of the list of worries for brides to be. Though there are no guarantees, the odds of a sunny day are much higher when the wedding location is San Diego, California, home to some of the world's loveliest weather. 70 miles of white sand means plenty of options for laid-back lovers looking for a barefoot-on-the-beach ceremony, while the bustling Gaslamp Quarter is a perfect choice for couples who want a cosmopolitan locale in which to say "I do".

9. Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Even couples who've traveled to Mexico many times have likely not been to Riviera Nayarit, a short drive north but seemingly a world away from the bustle of popular Puerto Vallarta. Stretching 100 miles along the Pacific Coast from Nuevo Vallarta in the south to San Blas in the north, the region is the home of all-inclusive megaresorts to tiny boutique hotels and everything in between. Depending on preference, a couple might choose to begin their lives in the laid-back surfer enclave of Sayulita or at one of Punta Mita's ultra-luxe beachfront resorts, like the St. Regis Punta Mita.

8. Orlando, Florida
Princess dreams die hard, which makes Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando the ideal place for regular ladies who've managed to find their own Prince Charming to begin their happily ever after. With locales ranging from exotic gardens to waterfront pavilions, there's likely a place for nearly every taste. There's no location, however, better suited to carrying out a princess fantasy than Swan Boat Landing with Cinderella Castle as the backdrop. Complete the dream by choosing Cinderella's Coach, complete with six Welsh ponies and two footmen in full costume, as your transportation.

7. New York City
New York City has been the inspiration of countless songs, been the setting to blockbuster movies aplenty and is home to some of the world's most iconic sites. What better place to provide the backdrop for the most important day of your life? Forgo the traditional limo and use a taxi for transportation, choose an ornate hotel ballroom or stark loft for your reception, and afterwards, continue the celebration into the morning hours by taking part in New York City's unrivaled nightlife scene. There's nothing cookie-cutter about this city, and no shortage of ways to have a one-of-a-kind wedding.

6. Nevis, British West Indies
When a bride imagines taking her vows on a beach at sunset, it's likely the Caribbean she's picturing. If it's solitude you seek, make a beeline to Nevis, part of the two-island nation of St Kitts and Nevis. The islands, though a short ferry ride from one another, have entirely distinct personalities, with Nevis being the quiet, untouched sister island to St, Kitt's hustle and bustle. Nevis is all that's right with the Caribbean - beautiful volcanic ash beaches, full-service resorts and easy to get to - while still managing to feel like a well-kept secret. Nevis's legendary sunsets are the perfect backdrop for a Caribbean beach wedding and the stuff wedding photographer's dreams are made of.
