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?

A destination wedding classic! And for good reason.

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.
