Weddings are taken very seriously, especially by us Pakistanis. Some choose to do it with simplicity while others like to go all out with multiple functions and inviting half the town to be part of their celebration. The trend of a destination wedding is slowly increasing. An opportunity for a couple to hold a wedding in a romantic location without spending a fortune, a destination wedding removes many of the stresses of planning a regular wedding.
A destination wedding can be as cool and casual as you like. Want to wear flip-flops or barefoot and dig your toes into the sand at a beach wedding? You got it! Many couples choose to take their destination wedding to countries like Italy and Thailand but not every Pakistani has the time or resources to do so.

Pakistan is no less than Italy, it is just as beautiful so why go far when you can bring the ‘destination’ closer to you! Here are some of the local places where you could have the wedding of your dreams.
