Highgrove: The Honeymoon!

At last... after all the planning, saving, and emotions leading up to the ceremony and reception of your wedding day, it is time for the honeymoon!  After months of planning and focusing on the wedding, the honeymoon is a welcome vacation for just the two of you and can be the trip of a lifetime. Whether your ideal is an exotic luxury trip to Fiji or a quaint romantic get-away to Charleston, there are options and possibilities to fit everyone's dreams. With so many options out there, how do you know where to start? 

Wedding Wire has a helpful article to get you started in thinking about just the type of get-away the two of you may be looking for. There is more than just budget to consider, but also what you want to do when you get there, how far away you want to go, etc. 

After you may have narrowed down the search a little, The Knot has a great article entitled 24 Honeymoon Destinations You've Never Thought Of. Many of the locations listed in this article may be familiar, but possibly never a consideration for a honeymoon. I like the wide variety of locations shared, from right here in the US to far away exotic places as well.

Finally, when you are really ready to get some details nailed down, Honeymoons.com is an excellent site for researching and booking your honeymoon. You can filter your results by: Experience, Scenery, Travel Profile, Romantic Getaways, and Budget. The site is easy to navigate and makes planing your once-in-a-lifetime trip exciting and fun! 

The most important tip to remember is that this trip is all about you two. While the wedding may have been about considering family and friends along with your wishes, this trip is the time where you and your new spouse can focus just on each other and whatever makes the two of you happy. Whether it's relaxing on a beach all day or zip lining down a mountain, your honeymoon is your chance to do whatever you like. Bon voyage!
