They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we think a great wedding photo is worth a million. And while choosing your photographer is crucial, securing a stunning backdrop is just as important. We’ve rounded up 10 of the most photo-worthy wedding venues across the country so you don’t have to.
Ask literally any Swiftie and we'll say Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce are meant to be. Whether they're spending time together in Las Vegas, on a Bahamas vacation, or Travis is talking about the singer on his New Heights podcast, it's clear that they're in L-O-V-E. Well, apparently they're more in love than ever because according to ET (a publication that's accurately released news about the ultra-private singer before), Taylor & Travis could be saying "I do" before long.
Are Travis Kelce and Taylor engaged?
YouTube/Taylor Swift/UMG
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven't announced an engagement yet, but it looks like all our teen drama tropes about athletes and artists were true. According to an ET source, "Taylor and Travis are doing amazing, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later. They make a great match and there's no question about that."
However, that doesn't mean their family is clued into a potential engagement. “Nobody knows that,” Donna tells Page Six at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. “We will see what happens. You never know.”
This is one wedding I'll need ALL the details about if and when it should happen. Will Travis propose to "Love Story"? Will Taylor's cats be the ring bearers? (This would actually be so incredible and I would love to see it).
One thing I'm thinking about more than any other is Taylor Swift's wedding color palette. "The Alchemy" singer is such an intentional and detail-oriented person that I know she'll think about every little aspect of the day, including which colors to include in the ceremony and the reception. I would LOVE for the colors to feature gold because of how she sings about love being "golden like daylight." That would be such a beautiful, full circle moment!
On June 1, during the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend's onstage comedy sketch, actor Jason Sudeikis asked Travis Kelce about the potential engagement. "Hey Travis, real talk, OK, just the guys here," Jason says. "When are you going to make an honest woman out of her?"
"Guys," Travis responds, "you're really pushing it." TBH, if I had millions of people talking or asking about my relationship, I'd respond the exact same way!
Does Taylor Swift have an engagement ring?
@everything.norway Taylor Swift is engaged? 😳💍😂🤡@Taylor Nation @Taylor Swift #taylorswift#TheErasTour#theerastourwarsaw#taylorswiftwarsaw#swiftie#warsawpoland#theerastourwarsaw#theerastourwarsawn3♬ original sound - everything.norway
After Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Warsaw on August 3, fans are wondering if an announcement is coming soon. In a viral video during the Lover set, Taylor tells the crowd she's in a "fantastic mood tonight" and then visibly plays with a ring on her ring finger.
Naturally, TikTok's gone wild! "Went that night to the concert and IMMEDIATELY called that out," one user comments, while another says, "I think they have been since the Lake Como photos!...Their engagement announcement is beating my excitement for even Rep TV."
What do Taylor Swift's friends think about her relationship?
Not only did the ET source talk about Taylor and Travis, but also their friendship with Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper! Doubles dates are always a good idea IMO and it's fun to see these A-listers living it up with their friends, too.
"Taylor, Travis, Gigi, and Bradley have a blast when they get together," the source continues. "They appreciate that they can all be themselves around each other and enjoy double dating and spending time with each other." Feeling inspired?

Do you ever have that dress that you're utterly obsessed with, but you're saving it for a special occasion because you want it to have its own moment? That was me with the Esme Dusty Pink Plissé Kaftan Dress. It's a beautiful gown that wasn't my usual style, given its modest cut and color, so I was saving it for a moment that I wanted to try something new!
I recently pulled it out for a wedding, and I instantly felt like a princess — and had a bit of a viral momenton Tiktok. The modest cut of the dress, although out of my normal style, made me feel so classy! Since I fell in love with the look so much, I decided to embark on finding some similar options for future weddings this year. So, if you're also obsessed with a more modest style —, particularly kaftans and abaya-inspired dresses — then let's get into the recs!
What is a kaftan or abaya?
Kayla Walden
An abaya, sometimes known as a kaftan, is a modest garment normally worn by Muslim women. And while this is specific to their religion, I've spoken to many Muslim women who have said that they love to see other women embrace their culture and wear the modest, loose-fitting garments! The dress I'm wearing pictured above is actually similar to a butterfly-abaya, which is loose-fitting on the body with wide sleeves, but has a tie to snatch in your waist a bit. This makes it technically not an exact abaya, because it's a little more form fitting, but the style is very similar!
If you love that style too, we have some kaftans and other dresses that are quite similar to the style as well!
Esme
Esme Lace Kaftan Dress
The original dress I wore unfortunately sold out entirely after my post, but the brand has one that's super similar with lace detailing on the sleeves. I find this style to be so stunning and graceful — it's sure to make you feel like a princess as well!
Anthropologie
Hutch Column Maxi Dress
The color palette of this dress is perfect for autumn with the burgundy, rust, and neutrals. The looseness of this silk gown helps to stay true to the modest and classy theme we're going of with these looks, too. It also has the butterfly sleeve that I'm so obsessed with that comes across very ethereal and elegant!
Nordstrom
Farm Rio Kaftan Dress
Who says wedding guest dress shopping for modest looks has to be boring? This feather-trim kaftan proves to be anything but boring — especially paired with the fun, floral pattern draping the gown. It's probably one of my favorite modest options to still feel fun and fashionable with your choices.
Mango
Mango Satin Dress
In the mood to feel like Cinderella this wedding season? This modest dress is the perfect combo between a princess-like vibe and a beautiful winter blue! I could see this dress gracing the wedding dance floor of any winter weddings you may have coming up this year.
Banana Republic
Banana Republic Abigail Silk Dress
The word is out: fuchsia is in for the fall. This gorgeous shade of fuchsia is just a hint brighter than your typical autumn burgundies, and I think it's just divine! Not only would it work for fall, but I totally see it also as a great winter color as well. The long sleeves and loose fit make it a perfect contender for a modest look, while obviously still seeming so chic.
Amazon
ZESICA Long Knit Dress
Forest green is one of my favorite autumnal and winter shades — it looks so flattering on so many different skin tones! This dress has the trending "drop waist" that I've been looking for in all my dresses lately. It elongates your body to help make you look taller. And don't we all love that! Additionally, this dress is under $45, so run to add it to your cart!
Anthropologie
Significant Other Demi Dress
I normally steer away from oranges shades — as a redhead they can sometimes clash with my hair— but this burnt orange is one I would risk everything for. I mean, just look at how divine the rich, orange color is! I'm in love with the balloon sleeves on this modest dress as well; they'll make you feel so regal! Definitely pick this one up to style with gold accessories like above.
Amazon
Hiyan Creation Kaftan Dress
Another amazing Amazon find, but this one is only $30! Can you even believe it? This looks like it was taken right from Tôteme's catalogue! It's giving timeless, chic, and elevated luxe. This dress will truly have people asking you how you got the quiet luxury, Sofia Richie look on a budget!
H&M
H&M Balloon Sleeve Dress
Burnt orange is a trend this season, I see! The color is making waves in the high-end and low-end world, and I can't say I mind! This dress, specifically, is a favorite of mine. Not only because it's affordability, but also because it looks very boho chic and western. Pair with some heeled boots and a boho-style bag, and you'll definitely be labeled as the "fashion girly" at the wedding. To get a more modest look with this sheer dress, be sure to add a maxi slip dress underneath!
Nordstrom
Diarrablu Maxi Dress
This one is a great go-to if you tend to opt for a darker color palette with simpler and more luxe look. It reminds me of some of the pieces I'm seeing in high-end stores like The Row and Khaite. This silk number would be great paired with some classic black or metallic silver pumps, and a matching silver bag to accessorize the look!
Mango
Mango Printed Turtleneck Dress
Mango is a great place to find wedding guest dresses that are extremely high quality, yet not too pricey. The pieces are always perfectly on trend — like this printed turtleneck dress here — and also so wearable that you'll be holding onto them for many seasons to come! This Mango dress is another example of how dressing modestly does not have to be boring. Grab some fun, printed heels and a yellow bag for an exciting wedding guest look!
Nordstrom
Nordstrom WAYF Cassandra Dress
This simple, yet elegant option is hitting the mark on all the modest requirements. It's flowy, long-sleeved, and hitting right above your ankles. The floral green is also giving me serious Folklore vibes, so if anyone needs an outfit for T-Swift, this one's got you covered!
Cider
Cider Satin Long Sleeve Dress
We have another great, affordable option with this dress from Cider that's under $45! Shopping for weddings can sometimes seem really overwhelmingly, because you have to shop based on season, occasion, type of wedding, and avoiding their wedding colors; there's a lot of rules as a wedding guest of do's and don'ts. So I like to shop affordably most of the time, to keep from having the issue of never wearing the dress again. This is a dress that you don't have to stress about the price, but that you could also wear again! The color and cut is so flattering, and definitely hitting the mark for modesty!

There's no other place I'd rather vacation than Disney. I know, that might be a controversial statement, but I love visiting the Disney theme parks on my own, with family, friends, and basically anyone else who will join me. As an annual pass holder and self-proclaimed Disney adult, I seriously frequent Walt Disney World multiple times a week — and it's absolutely on my bucket list to visit all of the other parks around the world in my lifetime.
I've been to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure — and I'll be able to check Disneyland Paris off my list soon — but until then, I've come up with a list of the parks I've already visited (and want to visit) in order of priority. Here are all Disney theme parks around the world you should visit, ranked.
TL;DR
- Magic Kingdom
- Epcot
- Hollywood Studios
- Animal Kingdom
- Disneyland
- Disney California Adventure Park
- Disneyland Paris
- Walt Disney Studios Park
- Tokyo Disneyland
- Tokyo DisneySea
- Shanghai Disneyland
- Hong Kong Disneyland
All The Disney Theme Parks, Ranked
Disney World
1. Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is quintessential Disney for both the young and young-at-heart. Located in Central Florida, when you think of Disney, this is usually what comes to mind. It's most notable for the larger-than-life castle where Cinderella and her princess friends get together to meet guests everyday.
I especially love Magic Kingdom because it has a bit of everything for those classic fairytale lovers and thrill seekers. You'll find coasters such as Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, as well as more classic attractions like It's A Small World and Peter Pan's Flight that are suitable for the whole family. Plus, the entertainment is top notch with a daytime parade, evening fireworks, and a show on the castle stage.
(A word to the wise, though: there really isn't any alcohol in this park, so don't expect to have that Epcot-esque experience here)
Disney World
2. Epcot
Speaking of Epcot, it's genuinely unlike any other theme park in the world. The park somehow brings together futuristic concepts (Space 220 is out of this world) and cultural diversity (hello, World Showcase!) in such a unique way! Not only can you explore 11 different international pavilions, eating and drinking to your heart's content, but you can also enjoy incredible rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
And while Epcot has rides and character meet and greets, this park really stands out for its festivals. Every few months, guests can experience different themed festivals filled with varying entertainment, food, and beverage offerings. Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival is arguably the most popular — I mean who doesn't love to celebrate that?! Other incredible celebrations include the International Flower & Garden Festival, International Festival of the Arts, and Festival of the Holidays. I highly recommend scheduling your trip to Epcot during one of these festivals periods because it truly shows the park at its best capacity.
(And if you're feeling a silly, you can "Drink Around The World" in Epcot's World Showcase any time of year 😉)
Disney World
3. Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is flashy and fun, featuring larger than life productions to high-tech attractions and rides. You'll find a bit of everything at Hollywood Studios, but Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land are the park's newest developments with attractions including Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon, and Slinky Dog Dash. Oh, and I can't forget about Tower of Terror — the icon of the park that can be seen from multiple points across the Disney property.
Lastly, you won't want to miss Fantasmic, the parks nighttime spectacular that combines water, characters, fireworks, and more into a breathtaking show for guests each night. Content Editor Haley Sprankle constantly has the theme song stuck in her head — it really is THAT good.
Disney World
4. Animal Kingdom
No trip to Disney World is complete without a visit to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Whether you're looking to be in tune with nature or see wildlife in action, you can experience it all at DAK.
For starters, you can go on the Kilimanjaro Safaris where you'll be guided around an African savannah right in the heart of Florida to see animals like giraffes and hippos in their natural habitats while learning facts about the park and their conservation efforts. Outside of the rides, you can't miss the Festival of the Lion King which is a 30-minute Broadway-style show that features acrobats, live music, puppetry, and fire throwing — all in celebration of the beloved film!
The only downside to DAK is that it can get extremely hot, and there aren't a lot of places to find relief from the brutal Florida sun. I'd definitely be sure to wear protective hats and hydrate, whenever possible!
Disneyland
5. Disneyland
A visit to the original Disney park is a must-do at some point in your lifetime. Disneyland is home to Sleeping Beauty's castle and has a quaint, old-school feel that instantly transports you back in time. Unlike Disney World, characters at Disneyland roam and meet guests as they interact with their environment — almost as if they just hopped off a page from a storybook.
In terms of rides, there's no shortage of them at Disneyland, from Indiana Jones Adventure to Pinocchio's Journey. Lastly, no trip to Disneyland is complete without paying homage to Walt outside of his apartment on the top of Main Street U.S.A. Don't forget to grab a churro too — they're delicious!
Disney California Adventure Park
6. Disney California Adventure Park
Directly across from Disneyland is Disney California Adventure — here you'll find a mix of Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters and rides for the whole family. DCA is home to the beloved Cars Land, AKA where you can visit Radiator Springs Racers and Flo's V8 Cafe. Other highlights of the park include Pixar Pier, San Fransokyo Square (inspired by Big Hero 6), and Avenger's Campus. If you get hungry at DCA, there are plenty of dining options, from Carthay Circle to Lamplight Lounge. Plus, who doesn't love that iconic Mickey Mouse ferris wheel?!
7. Disneyland Paris
Making your way to Europe? Be sure to make a stop at Disneyland Paris — located only 40 minutes away from the downtown area — to get your fix of Disney magic. Disneyland Paris is centered around Sleeping Beauty's Castle and is home to four lands — Fantasyland, Frontierland, Adventureland, and Discoveryland.
Like any Disney theme park there are so many rides, characters, and fun to get into. Step foot into Phantom Manor or Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain to immerse yourself in Disney's iconic storytelling whether by yourself or with family members.
Walt Disney Studios Park
8. Walt Disney Studios Park
Next to Disneyland Paris, you'll want to head over to Walt Disney Studios Park to find attractions and characters inspired by Disney, Pixar and Marvel. Some of the most exciting elements? Crush's Coaster, Cars Road Trip, and Ratatouille — because of course we couldn't exclude Paris's favorite rat. It's definitely a slower paced park with less offerings, however, you'll still feel the magic as soon as you step foot onto the property.
Tokyo Disneyland
9. Tokyo Disneyland
If you find yourself in Tokyo, then you'll absolutely wanna do yourself a favor and head over to Tokyo Disneyland. While it's completely it's own park, Tokyo Disneyland seems most similar to Magic Kingdom with its seven different "lands" throughout. You'll find the World Bazaar, Adventureland, Westernland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Toontown, and Tomorrowland.
You'll find some classic Disney attractions, like the Enchanted Tale of Beauty and The Beast alongside other family-friendly options like Pooh’s Hunny Hunt and Monsters Inc Ride and Go Seek. Plus, you'll be able to see lots of characters throughout — not to mention the exciting entertainment offerings from Jamboree Mickey to Harmony in Color!
Lastly, this park has SO much great merchandise options, so you can bring home something unique with you to remember your trip!
Tokyo DisneySea
10. Tokyo DisneySea
Head on over to Tokyo DisneySea where you'll find a plethora of rides and characters from beloved Disney movies. Aside from Mickey and Minnie, you can meet lots of princesses alongside Duffy and friends (the cutest little animal characters!) to fill up your autograph book and camera roll to the max.
This park is self-described as the "only Disney park themed to the myths and legends of the sea," adding extra intrigue to the experience. You'll find the Mediterranean Harbor, American Waterfront, Port Discovery, Fantasy Springs, Lost River Delta, Arabian Coast, Mermaid Lagoon, and Mysterious Island.
Tokyo DisneySea's latest expansion is Fantasy Springs where you'll be immersed into the worlds of Peter Pan, Tangled, and Frozen. Plus, you can get on Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea — which you also won't find at any other Disney park!
Disney
11. Shanghai Disneyland
Shanghai Disneyland features the Enchanted Storybook Castle right in the center of the park, where guests can take pictures and get immersed in the magic. The park has eight different themed areas — Mickey Avenue, Gardens of Imagination, Fantasyland, Treasure Cove, Adventure Isle, Tomorrowland, Toy Story Land, and Zootopia — with each offering it's own unique vibe. Some popular attractions include Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, Tron Lightcycle Power Run, and Peter Pan’s Flight.
According to their website, this park is also the most "technologically innovative" Disney theme park, so I'm sure you'll be in for some really exciting features! Plus, the Enchanted Storybook Castle is "the tallest, biggest and most interactive of all Disney castles the world over." Okay, sign me up!
Hong Kong Disneyland
12. Hong Kong Disneyland
Hong Kong Disneyland may be last on this list, but the park definitely has some incredible standout options for guests! (Plus, you know I'm never mad to be at any Disney theme park ever!)
For starters, no other Disney park has a Mystic Manor, an alternative take on the Haunted Mansion where guests are ushered inside as Henry Mystic shows visitors inside his home that's filled with antiques. Other highlights include the Iron Man Experience, Slinky Dog Spin, and Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.
Plus, this park has stunning views throughout. The main castle is surrounded by lush, green mountains that are totally breathtaking — and totally different than anything you'd see in Orlando!

In case you missed it, a new rom-com following a pair that bears a great resemblance to the internet's favorite “It” couple is coming to Lifetime for the holidays! Although the film isn’t technically inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story per se, the story line is quite uncanny to their high profile romance (but more on that later). From the release date to the plot, here's everything we know about Lifetime’s Christmas in the Spotlight. Read up on Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown — and the Kelce who joined the cast!
- Lifetime's Christmas in the Spotlight is a new holiday movie premiering this November.
- The movie follows a popstar who starts dating a pro football player after they meet at one of her concerts.
- The film stars Jessica Lord, Laith Wallschleger, Jeannie Mai, and Haley Kalil.
What is Christmas in the Spotlight about?
Lifetime/A&E
Christmas in the Spotlight Plot
Set to be a part of the network's “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup, which officially starts November 16, Christmas in the Spotlight follows a famous pop star named Bowyn (Jessica Lord), who always sings about falling in love, but has yet to find The One. Right when she's given up on finding Prince Charming, sparks fly when she meets a handsome professional football player named Drew (Laith Wallschleger) after one of her shows. However, they don’t start dating until after Drew publicly declares his feelings for Bowyn. Sound familiar?
The movie synopsis continues, “With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger…but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family.” I need this on my screen now!!!
Is there a trailer for Christmas in the Spotlight?
Well, no. (At least, not yet). But there is a preview teaser for Lifetime’s “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” lineup, which features numerous clips from the upcoming Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-esque holiday film Christmas in the Spotlight. In the first few seconds of the teaser, co-stars Jessica Lord and Laith Wallschleger can be seen gleefully walking side by side while surrounded by holiday decor. Meanwhile, another clip shows Lord’s Bowyn wearing a blue football jersey. Now, if that’s not TayVis-coded, then I don’t know what is.
When is Christmas in the Spotlight coming out?
Christmas in the Spotlight Release Date
Be sure to mark your calendars because Christmas in the Spotlight is scheduled to debut on Lifetime November 23, 2024, at 8 PM ET/PT. Let the countdown begin!
Where can I watch Christmas in the Spotlight?
Lifetime/A&E
If you can’t catch the premiere on Lifetime, then don’t worry because we have you covered! After the movie premieres on the Lifetime channel, Christmas in the Spotlight will be available to watch on TVE/VOD in addition to the Lifetime Movie Club.
Who’s in the cast of Christmas in the Spotlight?
Lifetime/A&E
Christmas in the Spotlight Cast
Aside from Lord and Wallschleger, Christmas in the Spotlight stars former The Real talk show host Jeannie Mai, who will portray Bowyn’s manager. But she won’t be the only familiar face in the ensemble cast. And if you’re constantly on TikTok, then you may recognize TikTok influencer Haley Kalil, who, according to People, is set to make her onscreen debut as Drew’s sister-in-law, Nicole.
