Planning a wedding in Stockholm

While it may not seem the most obvious setting for an overseas wedding, the Swedish capital of Stockholm has a lot going for it. Using a Stockholm wedding planner or not some tend to think of Stockholm as always being a little cold, thus an ideal setting for a winter wedding, but with the sun shining eighteen hours a day on this beautiful city in the summer months it really is sublime. Not as hot as some destinations like Greece or Italy granted, but every bit as stunning,  and Sweden has the land of the midnight sun. So your Stockholm will have some sunshine.

Venue
There are plenty of stunning locations around Stockholm to give you a Scandinavian dream of a wedding. From the ancient to the ultra modern, the choice is yours. Having a wedding planner take you around is one way at looking at venues Villa Pauli is a beautiful venue owned privately.  Located just 10 minutes outside Stockholm, this venue offers all types of rooms and due to its décor coming courtesy of a famous artist it’s a wonderful wedding setting.

If your ideal Stockholm wedding location is olde world, rustic and by a glorious lake then check out  Stallmästaregården.  Literally on the edge of Stockholm,This glorious treat is the home of Princess Victoria and the whole setting with the lake and grounds is a photographers dream.

There is an ethereal feel about the Villa Källhagen which makes it perfect for those seeking an informal wedding that is very much back to nature. Located by the sea, the photographic opportunities here are endless, absolutely gorgeous.
