With stunning views and incredible wildlife, Alaska is unlike any other wedding destination you could ask for. Nicknamed "The Last Frontier," up to 52% of Alaska's acreage is wilderness, making it an incredible spot for your wedding's backdrop.


Whether you want to host a formal wedding or you prefer something casual by the fireplace, you can make your wedding day extra special in Alaska. Not quite sold on the idea? Here are five reasons why Alaska is the destination of your wedding dreams.

1. Alaska is great for lovers of the rustic style. Rustic-style weddings have been all the rage in recent years. Go above and beyond with your rustic wedding by hosting your ceremony in an Alaskan lodge with a mountain view rather than in a rented barn.
    
2. You don't have to worry about tropical storms. Every year, couples need to unexpectedly move the date of their wedding or cancel the ceremony altogether because of a tropical storm or hurricane. This is because destination weddings at the beach are often located right in hurricane country. With Alaska destination weddings, you don't have to worry about a hurricane ruining your ceremony.
    
3. You can stay right where you are for your honeymoon. In some destination weddings, couples will host their ceremony in one spot and then fly somewhere else for their honeymoon. In Alaska, you don't need to go anywhere to feel the magic. Whether you love to hike, kayak, or simply take in the beautiful views, Alaska has something for everyone and every couple.
    
4. You'll save on photography expenses. It's one thing to pay your photographer to take your wedding photos and another thing to construct the perfect backdrops for those photos. When you have an Alaska destination wedding, you don't need to construct a thing to get those gorgeous backgrounds.
    
5. Your food will never be fresher. You've had the nightmare -- your wedding guests enjoy your food at the wedding only to have food poisoning the next day. With an Alaska wedding, you don't have to worry about your guests' stomachs. The fish and other catering will be fresh from the ocean.
