Choose a magical wedding Lake Bled offers a magnificent backdrop

• The history.

This has to be one of the most historical places for a wedding Lake Bled oozes history and tradition. Did you know that first settlers lived here as far back as in the 7th century? Bled is also the place where the ancient Slavic king Samo had left his mark, as the remains found at the sight point out to his culture and traditions in the region. 

•  The location.

When choosing your ceremony location, you have to bear in mind that guests might be coming from very different directions to attend your wedding Lake Bled offers fabulous connections with the rest of Europe. It lies only a half and hour’s drive from the main international airport of Slovenia, and only about 10 minutes’ drive from the highway exit. Your guests can choose from the many hotels and accommodation facilities in the region.

• The beauty.

It is indeed difficult to describe and even harder to imagine the Alpine beauty of the town that you choose for your wedding Lake Bled has a unique position, in the middle of the Alpine peaks and a stone’s throw away from the Triglav national park. Many guests adore the island in the middle of the lake, with its little church, where you can ring the wishing bell.

5 advantages of a wedding in Slovenia

1.  Easy to reach: As already mentioned, a wedding in Slovenia is easy to organise from the logistical point of view. The country lies at the crossroads of Southern and Central Europe, bordering Austria and Italy. Venice is about 3 hours from Bled by car, as is Vienna. Your guests might enjoy combining a visit to the nearby sights in the wider Alpine-Adriatic region.
   
2.  People speak English: Due to its relatively small size and the peculiarity of its Slavic language, many Slovenians have been forced to learn languages from a young age. Therefore, expect very few language barriers if choosing a wedding in Slovenia.
   
3.  Great food and wine: Influenced by the gastronomies of the neighbouring countries, Slovenia is a foodies’ paradise. Be it succulent meat or fish dishes, lush vegetables or mouth-watering desserts, this is something your guests will remember: you can’t walk away from a Slovenian table with an empty stomach.
   
4. Lots to see and do: Slovenia is packed with natural, cultural and historical sights. Full of lush forests and lakes, it also boasts a coastline in the West and Panonian landscapes in the East. The many museums and cultural events make it a real gem for discovering quirky stories and mysterious sounds. All of these reasons have led many people believe that Slovenia is the best place to get married in Europe.
   
5. A beginning of a beautiful friendship: You can be sure that several guests from your wedding party will return to Slovenia in the future.
