After two years of canceled ceremonies and empty venues, 2.5 million weddings are expected to take place over the summer.

After two years filled with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pandemic-wedding-dress-online-shopping-guide-virtual">pandemic-caused</a> wedding cancellations, postponements, and quarantine <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/unique-celebrity-engagement-rings-ariana-grade-jennifer-lopez">engagements</a>, 2022 is predicted to be the biggest year for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-most-iconic-wedding-dresses-wedding-season">weddings</a> since 1984. Although this influx of weddings will inevitably cause issues in relation to planning and cost (average cost is also expected to go up), <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/luxurious-destination-spots-mini-wedding-greece-spain">destination weddings</a> are looking all the more appealing after two bleak years of travel restrictions and quarantines. As <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/best-wedding-movies-to-stream">wedding season</a> swiftly approaches,&nbsp;L'OFFICIEL has gathered the top wedding destinations for 2022.&nbsp;

The vibrance of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/interior-designer-jacques-granges-comporta-portugal">Portugal</a> makes it the ideal spot for a destination wedding. Whether you want a city-centered spot, a garden, or a beach wedding, Lisbon has it all, with a wide variety of venues that accommodate small and large parties.&nbsp;

Filled with various different venues with panoramic views of the lake, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/hotel-castello-di-reschio-italy-count-bolza">Lake Como</a> is the ideal destination for a picturesque spot for your nuptials.&nbsp;

Who wouldn't want the backdrop of a classic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/boutique-hotel-mykonos-kalesma">Greek</a> sunset at their wedding? The food, architecture, and sparkling blue water of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/scorpios-mykonos-luxury-travel-soho-house-2019">Aegean Sea</a> make this spot perfect for a dream destination wedding.&nbsp;

A destination wedding classic! And for good reason. The serenity of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/the-bohemian-travelers-guide-to-tulum">Tulum</a> is unmatched, its white sand beaches are perfect for a classic and magical beach wedding, and the venue options are endless.&nbsp;

The little island of Ireland packs a huge punch of beauty. Abandoned churches, jaw-dropping cliffs, and stunning backdrops make this spot ideal for a destination wedding. More specifically, the Cliffs of Moher, the most dazzling spot on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/saoirse-ronan-iconic-roles-movies-dating">Irish</a> coastline, with unparalleled views of the Atlantic.&nbsp;

Arguably <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrities-moving-to-australia-zac-efron-nicole-kidman-natalie-portman">Australia's</a> most iconic wedding destination. Hayman Island, a private island open to the public located off the coast of Central Queensland, is the ideal destination for a wedding in Australia. You'll be right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef with access to many different wedding venues.&nbsp;

Cebu is where the city meets the tropics. Not only that, but it also has an incredibly lively wedding industry perfect for a destination wedding. The venues here are endless&mdash;each with equally unique and picturesque backdrops for your special day.&nbsp;
