The 10 Most Instagrammable Places To Get Married

The wedding industry generates several billions of dollars a year, between venues, florists, fashion, entertainers, food and drink, and more. Picking a location is sometimes the hardest part, leaving many brides-to-be searching for the most instagrammable places to get married across the world. The sky is the limit, and you will undoubtedly have an endless menu of spots to choose from. Luckily, fine jewelry designer Ingle & Rhode is here to help.

Ingle & Rhode used the hashtag #justmarried to analyze over 150,000 Instagram photos. They then cross-referenced the geographical coordinates against the nearest cities, and thus determined the most popular places to get married. Some of these locations might mean quite a bit of traveling on your part; but more and more, families are going on these adventures together. Some reports state that destination weddings have shot up as much as 400 percent in recent years. One explanation is that couples are looking to economize and combine their wedding and honeymoon into one trip. Not a bad idea, in my opinion!

Whatever your reasons may be, if you're on the hunt for the perfect place to exchange vows, this is a good place to start. Check out the top 10 places below, and head over to Ingle & Rhode for the full list of 20.

1. Moscow, Russia

The capital of Russia is one of the most populated cities in the world, it houses the largest library in Europe, and it's home of the Big Stone Bridge, built in the 17th century. It's known for its variety of museums, theaters, and architecture, which explain why many claim this is the center of Russian culture.

2. New York, United States

If you're in a New York state of mind, this is definitely an excellent place to say "I do." With some of the most iconic buildings and tourist destinations in the country, New York is a place people flock to for a one-of-a-kind experience.

3. Las Vegas, United States

Take it from this Las Vegas local: There's more to Sin City than booze and gambling. We have mountains, we have palm trees, we have crystal clear blue skies. Forget Disney World. This is the happiest place on earth.

4. St. Petersburg, Russia

The former capital of Russia is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With 93 rivers and canals, about 800 bridges (more than any other European city), over 200 museums, 100 theaters, 1,270 libraries, and 5,830 cultural landmarks, any wedding in St. Petersburg is guaranteed to be picture-worthy.

These pictures don't do it justice. Google Singapore for yourself, and you'll end up speechless. Booking my ticket now!

San Diego has quickly become my favorite escape when I need a break from Las Vegas, and anyone who's visited will understand why. The climate is perfect, the views are beyond memorable, and the culture is warm and inviting.

Los Angeles has already made it on most people's must-see list, and it understandably provides an eye-catching backdrop for couples getting ready to swap their vows.
