One of the most exciting things about getting hitched is the honeymoon that follows! According to Brides Magazine, Here are some tips about where to go, and when… depending on your wedding date! I’ve also included some great resorts to look into at each location and some fun activities to dive into while you are there! These are some of the more popular locations, however places like Costa Rica, Bali and Greese are quickly growing in honeymoon travel.
Hawaii- Hawaii is seasonless, normally 87 degrees/70 degrees, but April to June and October are the top months to visit. August and September are hot, and very popular with families on vacation. It rains the most January-March, but is still busy. Top Honeymoon islands? Maui and Kauai. Helicopter rides and luau shows are the most popular island activities.

Europe- June to September is high season. During this time cities and coasts are crowded, hotel rates are high. Late September/October can be ideal, and a bit less expensive. Low season is said to be November to April, less crowds, but colder weather. Italy is the top Honeymoon location in Europe!
