A wedding and honeymoon in Switzerland will be filled with
romance, tradition and beauty. Traditionally, the bride wears a
crown or wreath to her wedding to symbolizes her maidenhood and,
after the ceremony, the wreath is removed and burned; if it burns
quickly, the girl is considered to have good fortune. This is
usually followed by a fantastic banquet to celebrate the union of
the couple and their families. Beautiful wedding and honeymoon
destinations extend from the warm Riviera-style resorts of Ticino
to the snowy slopes of the Swiss Alps. There are romantic hotels,
resorts and chalets countrywide to accommodate couples. Seasonal,
and regional, weather differences ensure there will be a time to
suit most preferences.
Wedding and Honeymoon things to see and do
Switzerland has many things to see and do for wedding and
honeymoon couples. The medieval castle, Château
de Chillon, is romantically set on the shores of
Lake
Geneva against an exquisite mountain backdrop. Still in
Geneva, the Jet
d'Eau is the tallest fountain in the world and
definitely worth seeing. Old Town in Zurich
is also beautiful, with historic buildings lining it's charming
streets. Skiing in the
Swiss Alps is a world-famous option for couples, and
then of course there's the Swiss cheese, and chocolate...
