When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a huge wedding. Fairy lights lining the aisle. Glamorous flower arrangements. A puffy ball gown. You know, all that jazz. Then I grew up, and my friends started getting married, and I realised I did NOT want to spend thousands of pesos on a dress I’d only wear once in my life.
Of course, small weddings aren’t for everyone. If you want to splurge on your wedding day, go for it! But in case you’re considering the more affordable, intimate route — or if you’ve been forced by the pandemic to forego any big gatherings, for that matter — then welcome to the club. To make wedding planning (or dreaming!) a tad easier for you, here are some of the most romantic wedding venues available on Airbnb.
