1. Sapa – a gem on the mountain
As The Planners have recently made our first wedding in Sapa, we shall indulge ourselves and put it at the first slot of the list. Nevertheless, this dreamy town lying on the mountains is worth all the praises it has been given. If a beach wedding seems to not satisfy you and your special ones, how about an upward endeavor to a magnificent mountainous landscape?
If you decide to hold your wedding in Sapa, you are guaranteed to be able to enjoy chill weather (no more worries about getting all sweaty during your wedding ceremony!). In addition to that, speaking from our own experience, the grandeur of mountainous sceneries will undoubtedly blow you away! What better way to celebrate your tying the knot than standing on top of the world among the clouds?
If beach weddings bring tropical vibrancy, weddings on mountain possess a lovely sense of intimacy and coziness. With Duy and Tram’s wedding, the most captivating moment for us must be their gorgeous dance in the sparkling lights of chandeliers and disco balls. The chill and foggy weather are perfect catalysts for a warm and mellow dinner reception!
