September: Villa Eurydice, Mykonos, Greece A spectacularly positioned Cycladic retreat, well-versed in hosting star-studded celebrations, Villa Eurydice is the perfect partner in a Greek-isles commitment ceremony. Take over the whole show-stopping villa: as celestial as it is stylish, this dreamy wedding-cake of a venue dazzles with lacquered alabaster surfaces, billowing snowy linens and pristine paintwork. The property not only has a charming little chapel of its own on the terraced grounds, it can also host up to 300 well-wishers, and (bonus!) all your photos will be backdropped with azure sea melting into bright-blue skies. The Villa Crew team is set up to host the most lavish of nuptials, with restaurant-quality catering from its South African chefs being just one of many feathers in its party cap.

October: Farol Design Hotel, Cascais, Portugal Take over the beachfront nightclub with an intimate soirée for 30 or a blow-out bash for 500 at Farol Design Hotel, an old-meets-new escape in Cascais, not far from Lisbon. Perched on an outcrop of rock jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, this contemporary crib combines a traditional Portuguese villa with a modern wing encasing a slick restaurant and additional rooms: stark white and minimalist on the outside, wood-panelled and luxurious in. The design savvy extends to the grounds, which ooze Café del Mar cool from the white double loungers to the sea-view infinity pool. Jet here before the big day to get bronzed on yachts and motorboats, and be sure to make time for a romantic private dinner on the hotel jetty with your better half the night before your nuptials.

Book the Long Gallery, overlooking the courtyard garden, for an elegant affair for up to 100 guests, and spend your wedding night in the gorgeous Dylan Thomas Suite, with pretty garden views. Arrive at the hotel's private pier in style aboard a traditional canal boat, or host a once-in-a-lifetime post-wedding tasting dinner on Dylan's exclusive dining boat, the Muze: this floating chef's table for six is tended by Vinkeles' maître d'.

December: Condesa DF, Mexico City City wedding or country? Quirky-cool or calm? Why choose. The surprisingly serene Condesa DF in the bustling metropolis of Mexico City is where it?s at, with bold and brilliant floral prints offsetting the ice-white modernism of its interiors. Whether it?s an intimate affair or a packed house of 300, the park views and city sights are sure to please. The hotel can help with booking a house-rocking DJ, wedding paparazzi and decorations -- although it will be hard to rival the twinkling skyline. Have your posse arrive a day or two before you take the plunge and indulge in the rooftop spa with hammam to help warm up any cold feet...
