2. Udaipur

Often billed as the Venice of the East, Udaipur’s enchanting city seamlessly weaves together history, romance and regality. The idea of saying your lifetime vows amidst the backdrop of the palaces, lakes, forts and sheer luxury makes it the ultimate wedding destination to experience a celebration fit for royalty.

Our top pick in Udaipur would have to be the City Palace — a majestic architectural marvel that lines the shore of Lake Pichola. It creates a dreamy-textured backdrop for exchanging vows. Alternatively, another great option is the Jag Mandir Island Palace that rises serenely from the still waters of Lake Pichola. Simply choose your palace and you can guarantee that by the end of the night, you’ll actually believe you’ve been living a fairy tale.
