If scorching sunshine and a backdrop of azure blue seas are high on your wedding priority list, you’ve probably (wisely) already set your heart on a destination wedding. But where to choose? When it comes to the very best European locations, take a note of these five locations that are currently top of our wedding wishlist.

1. Santorini

We’ve never met a Greek Island that we didn’t love, that’s just a fact. But Santorini is oh-so special. The white-washed buildings and Insta-worthy rooftops contrasting with that bluer-than-blue water? It's a recipe for the most-perfect wedding photos.

Match your scent and your sandals to the deep blue scenery, then go easy-breezy in a lace-trimmed gown – just the ticket if you’re planning on dancing until the wee hours.

2. The French Riviera

If chic is on your agenda, the Côte d’Azur is for you. Nestled between Cannes and Nice, you’ll find Antibes where 16th Century ramparts sit alongside luxury yachts in the Port Vauban marina. Oh, and you’re in France so you know great wine is a sure bet too.

Your look? Go minimal in true French style with a fuss-free gown teamed with classic sandals. Of course, your wedding day calls for a spritz of a gorgeously alluring fragrance and you can't fail with Versace Dylan Blue. With a floral bouquet of rose, petalia, rosyfolia and jasmine, it's the perfect accompaniment to your bridal flowers as well as the exotic location.

3. Amalfi Coast

On Southern Italy's Amalfi Coast, you’ll find Positano, a cliffside village with steep, narrow streets lined with boutiques, cafes and Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta with its majolica-tiled dome and 13th-century Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary.

The vibe is Audrey Hepburn in 'Roman Holiday' so choose modern pieces that could just as easily be vintage finds. Then snap instant selfies of you and your beau to your heart's content then keep them for a lifetime.

4. Majorca

The quietest, and perhaps most unspoilt of the Balearic islands, Majorca’s port town of Soller has it all: beautiful boats, a sweet little tram and up-high on the neighbouring hills, lots of picture-perfect cathedrals and chapels.

Embrace ruffles and frills (you are in España, after all) with a senorita-approved dress from the likes of Self-Portrait. Arm yourself with Versace Dylan Blue's elegant bottle to provide the perfect accessory to your Big Day, not to mention a romantic fragrance inspired by the blue hues of the Mediterranean Sea.

5. Croatia

It may take your wedding party a little longer to make their way to Hvar, but boy, is it worth the wait. The island is home to the sweetest old town, tiny neighbouring islands that play host to beach bars and clubs, plus more super yachts than you've ever laid eyes on.

When it comes to what to wear, simple styling with unexpected details are the order of the day, from tasseled or charm earrings to a peek-a-boo wedding dress.
