1. Set a budget
Keeping your wedding costs in control can be difficult, and many find that by the time the day comes, they’ve crept to an eye-watering figure. The average wedding in the UK is over £20,000 – and that’s before you’ve factored in the post-wedding trip!
Set a budget that includes a fund for your honeymoon and stick to it so you’re not out of pocket. After all, this is your chance to celebrate the start of your life together in the comfort of each other’s company, and you deserve to splash out.

2. Location location location
Focusing on the location will help ensure you have an unbeatable time on your honeymoon. Spend time browsing the best honeymoon destinations in the world and identify your priorities, whether this is weather, a certain environment, or the opportunity for activities and adventure.
Don’t be limited by stereotypes: beach relaxation in the Maldives is for some, not all! Be led by your interests and preferences and make sure the location reflects these.

3. Pack smart
Remember that what you bring – or forget – can make or break your trip, so pack smart. Research the weather well ahead of your date of departure and collate suitable outfits for all eventualities from bespoke bridal pieces for romantic evenings to sensible shoes for sightseeing.
Take steps to protect yourself from harmful UV rays even if you’re heading to cold climes with a suitable hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Put together a wash bag to include in your carry-on luggage so you feel free and ready to go on arrival – but remember the 100ml limit!
Don’t forget to save space for souvenirs. This is a holiday that you’ll want to remember forever!

4. Book early
In travel, the early bird gets the best deals! Flight fares rise as the plane fills up, and most hotels and other holiday accommodations advertise special offers on advance bookings.
Crucially, the other advantage of booking early is access to the honeymoon specials including romantic suites and private rooms, complimentary upgrades and destination dinners.
5. Personalise
Ahead of arrival, take steps to personalise your itinerary for you and your partner. This is the best way to ensure you both have an unbeatable experience during your honeymoon.
Personalisation might include adding activities, planning sunrise hikes and sunset strolls and surprising each other with events, meals and presents that show your love. More simply, consider how busy you would like to be and remember to build in enough time for rest.
