Weddings are warm in Turkey. There’s a tally of places you can say your vows with the sun on your skin – from leafy hotel gardens to bright poolside terraces and wrought-iron gazebos by the side of lakes. For cloudless skies and light breezes that ruffle your veil, you can become newlyweds in the pine-clad hills of Olu Deniz.
Blue Lagoon Weddings
If you’ve already got your something old, new and borrowed, why not complete the picture by opting for the Blue Lagoon as a setting? This protected bay is a piercing turquoise colour. Have your ceremony at dusk and you can wed as the sunset turns the waters of the nature reserve the colour of your wedding band.
Post-marriage meze
Turkey lends itself well to wedding celebrations. You can make toasts with raki and tuck into big sharing platters of meze at your wedding breakfast.
Sightseeing
Honeymoons in this country are memory-makers. Bath in the hot springs at Pamukkale, explore the ancient ruins of Ephesus, and spoil yourselves with lengthy Turkish baths and oil massages in traditional hammams. The country’s a great staging area for pre-wedding planning, too. Your husband-to-be can prepare for the big day with an authentic Turkish shave, while you work on the blushing bride look by the pool.
Where you can wed
In Turkey, we offer weddings in Dalaman and Antalya.
