Byron Bay, New South Wales

Byron Bay is Australia's most famous boho wedding destination, where subtropical hinterland rolls down to surf beaches and the country's most easterly lighthouse. Couples come for barefoot ceremonies on Wategos Beach, hinterland estates wrapped in rainforest, and a golden light that photographers chase all year round.

The Byron wedding scene is laid-back but polished: think festival-style celebrations under fig trees, luxe farm stays, food-truck receptions and some of the nation's best celebrants, stylists and caterers concentrated in one postcode. From intimate elopements at the Cape Byron headland to three-day celebrations on private acreage, Byron sets the standard for relaxed coastal romance.
