Honeymoon!

So after we decided it was going to be a UK wedding, our thoughts pretty quickly turned to the honeymoon! This is by far the most exciting part for us both so lots of thought went in! We decided pretty early to hold it off until October for a few reasons. Firstly, my work gets super busy between July-September, so I wanted to have the honeymoon as something to look forward too! A holiday is a big thing for me, so I also wanted to have time to plan the honeymoon rather than just having it straight after the wedding!

Originally we were going to do the West coast, as Steve is absolutely desperate to go! The only problem was the driving, I'm quite a new driver and Steve hasn't passed yet, and the route we wanted to take involved a lot of driving! We decided to put California on the backburner for a bit (first anniversary/Steve's 30th birthday trip!), and go back to Orlando!

Steve really wanted to try somewhere else as well as Orlando, and it was narrowed down to either New York or New Orleans. We eventually decided on New Orleans as we both have always wanted to go, and we could get some American driving practice in before our West Coast trip!

As I'll be writing a pre-trip for our honeymoon nearer the time, I'll show you a quick overview of our plans...

So on the 8th October we'll be flying into Orlando and getting a connecting flight to New Orleans and staying at the Q&C hotel for 4 nights..



I haven't got much planned yet but I know it will involved daiquiris and the french quarter



Then on the 12th we will pick up our rental car (Steve's choice)



And head to Pensacola beach for 2 nights



Staying at the Margaritaville Hotel! I'm so excited!



Then it's on to Orlando! Our first stop is 4 nights in one of my favourite places in the world, Hard rock hotel!



Finished off with 11 nights in somewhere I still can't believe we are actually staying... the beach club!



How exciting! We've booked beach club direct with WDW, Q&C with travel republic and literally everything else (except the margaritaville hotel) with Virgin. I'm super excited now after writing all that down!

Only 385 days to go haha!

Loving this planning journal so far! Drayton Manor sound and looks amazing, I love weddings with a difference! The bottom carousel pic is awesome cause that bride is wearing my wedding dress
The photographer looks incredible. Photos are definitely something that needs to be perfect for you, they are the lasting memory of the day after all!
The honeymoon sounds like so much fun! New Orleans is somewhere I'm dying to go!
We are stopping at the HRH and the Beach Club next October too! We may cross paths.
Can't wait to read more of your plans! X

Fantastic! My DH loved the idea of going away to get married but I was not so keen as I knew certain family members could not make it.

Look forward to seeing all your plans etc.

it's a hard decision to make isn't it, I suppose you have to do what feels right for you.

Thanks for reading along!
