How to Plan a Destination Wedding Mini - Moon

By Maria-Teresa Andreacchi

Combining a destination wedding to include a honeymoon is a great way to cut costs and keep the celebration going.

Relax at an all-inclusive in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is the perfect place for a mini-moon. Many hotels offer reduced rates, pending the number of guests you bring. Alternatively, you can hotel-hop right after the wedding, enjoying the same island, but trying a different hotel. Islands like St. Lucia have a mix of family-friendly hotels and adult-only honeymoon spots, such as the highly rated Jade Mountain Resort, which make it an ideal place for a destination wedding and mini-moon.

Tick off your bucket list in Europe

Travel within Europe is easy once you’re there, which is why some couples use European weddings as a passageway to their dream honeymoon. Countries such as Italy have the sun-filled Amalfi Coast, while places like Sweden offer a skier’s paradise. The variety in climate, landscape, and history lets you customize your honeymoon to fit you.

Cruise into your honeymoon

Cruises come with the thrill of multiple destinations. Sailing virtually anywhere in the world, you can choose a port that best suits your wedding backdrop, then use the other ports for incredible honeymoon images. Princess® Cruises, Tie the Knot SM offers three great ways to create your unforgettable wedding, from being married at sea by the ship’s Captain to a harbourside ceremony or a wedding ashore in an exotic destination.
