Before we begin our post on some of the greatest honeymoon destinations, let me introduce you to the author of this post, my husband. Bram and I have been travel enthusiasts since we met in Australia over three years ago. Bram launched his blog Travel Experience Live, a travel website dedicated to travel and photography, in 2012. So what better person to write a guest post on honeymoon destinations!

Honeymoon destinations are plenty and where to go depends entirely on the taste of the newlyweds. Not everyone’s the same and, as a result, what people look for in a honeymoon varies greatly. From romantic to adventurous, honeymoons can be divided in a wide range of categories.

So, let’s take a look at the very best destinations in each category.

Greece

One of the oldest countries in the world, Greece is set at a fabulous location. Think tens of thousands of Mediterranean islands, golden sunsets, gorgeous seaside towns, blue water and sunshine. Some places in Greece seem like they were just made to be visited by honeymooners. Santorini, for example, is easily one of the most romantic places on the planet. Continue Reading →

Tips I’ve Learned From My Own Wedding

Let me preface with the fact that my wedding on the summer solstice was basically my dream wedding (another post will share the details). However, I think that most brides can look back on their wedding and compile a list of things they could have done differently - or at least conjure up some ideas and tips for future brides. Here are a few things I’ve learned from my own wedding.

A beautiful dress doesn’t have to take half your budget

Often as a future bride, we look at photos of incredible dresses online or in magazines only to find out they’re top designers who will charge you an arm or a leg for them. Think beyond the designers. Your dream dress doesn’t have to cost a whole lot. I had three months to plan my wedding, so I didn’t have a lot of time to search for a dress and even if I had found that perfect Vera Wang dress for me, there’s no way I could have gotten it in time for my wedding. I went into David’s Bridal and just 300 dollars later I came out with a dress I loved. Later, during the wedding, I was continually being told how stunning my dress was and being asked where I got it, as if it were some unique dress and I was the only bride to have it. If you do end up finding your dream dress is out of your budget, try searching online through websites that re-sell brides dresses, preownedweddingdresses.com is a great one.
