The wedding was a sizzling-hot success, now you can soak up the sunshine with your new husband… don’t forget to pack these honeymoon must-haves…
Aah ladies, the honeymoon. Don’t plan your packing without our fabulous honeymoon must-haves…
So you’ve toiled away on the big day – the ultimate labour of love – for upwards of a year (or let’s face it, since you were six). Finally, now you and your new husband can relax, let it loose, and bask in the warmth of each other’s love. No more panic attacks waking up in the dead of night (‘But it’s supposed to be off-white! Off-white I said! Nobody understands me!’); no more cold sweats at the thought of what Aunt Mabel might say to Aunt Edna, and fears of your younger brother commandeering the microphone after too many Proseccos are happily dismissed as but a distant and empty threat. It was beautiful. You were positively radiant. The day was divine and everyone said so. And now –nothing sweeter – than to honeymoon…
But still you want to look gorgeous, correct? You still want to rock the best-accessorised newlywed in the business, right? You still want to recapture some of that big-day magic and reminisce with your man, am I right? Well look no further! We have put together our top tips for a fabulous honeymoon with these brilliant must-haves…
Hats off to them!
We cannot get enough of this absolutely brilliant idea from Kittens in a Hat (kittensinahat.com). Protect your locks with this incredibly personalised look! With a selection of hat styles including boater and panama, we love the thought of jazzing up your name in sequins, rope and pom-poms (you could even get a ‘Mrs’ plus your new surname!)
If the shoe fits…
Ladies, we don’t need to tell you this, but when it comes to footwear, we’re going to have to request both fashion and form please; we want user-friendly and high-performing footwear that looks cute as a button (is that too much to ask?!). Fortunately, Saltwater Sandals (salt-watersandals.com) have heard your prayer! We love their in-and-out-of-water philosophy, and in a collection of styles, patterns and colours… you just can’t put a foot wrong!
For the love of lace…
Oh so inevitably ladies, a sensational new set of lingerie for the honeymoon is an absolute must. He’ll be wowed, naturally, but seductively beautiful underwear is, more importantly, a joy for you too. We’re all for becoming our own muses these days, and in these lacey little numbers from SPANX’s Spotlight On Lace collection (SPANX.com), you’ll feel and look a million dollars.
Sun-Kissed, not soaked…
If sun is set to play a part in your honeymoon (and you’re anything like us), you’ll be welcoming it with open arms. Take care to cover up and protect that newlywed bod with this fabulous travel-sized complete sun-care range from Green People (greenpeople.co.uk).
Quality reading on the beach…
We absolutely love this idea: save reading through your guest book until it’s just you and your new hubby, secluded on a sandy beach somewhere… What a brilliant way for reliving those big-day moments and sharing in your guests’ excitement! Updating the traditional guest book, we love this game-effect idea from Guest Who (illustries.com/guestwho) – guests leave a message with a clue to their identity and the couple has to guess the guest! Hours of endless fun! (well, you’ve got to think of something to do on honeymoon…)
