How to Plan Your Honeymoon in 5 Easy Steps

Many couples find themselves balancing their wedding budget against their travel budget. What have you always imagined for your honeymoon? What feels realistic, but where does your imagination take you? Are you the type of couple who can spend days relaxing on a beach and still need more time? Do you like to be active, exploring and engaging in what’s around you? Consider what kind of travelers you and your partner are. Perhaps your ideal honeymoon lands somewhere in between relaxation and adventure with a mix of rest and exploration.

Discuss what you feel are the essentials of traveling together, from how you like to travel to the types of food you want to eat, the places you have always wanted to visit to the must-have experiences you each expect. By figuring out which type of travelers you are as a couple and how much you want to spend, you will more quickly be able to refine which destination and trip style is best suited to your honeymoon.

There is a perfect destination for you both no matter the time of year you choose to travel. Zicasso travel specialists cover 92 countries around the globe, and we can help you determine the right place for your once in a lifetime honeymoon. Do you want to travel immediately following your wedding? Or would you prefer to wait for the ideal travel time for your dream destination?

Taking your long-dreamed-of tropical beach honeymoon will not work out well if you travel during the wet season, while visiting a romantic European city may feel less intimate during peak season. With some flexibility, in either timing or perspective, the best destination for your essential travel goals is in reach.

The key to setting your travel budget revolves around your flexibility when it comes to things like transfers, accommodations, dates, and tours. Where you want to travel will also have a major impact on your budget with some parts of the world inherently more expensive than others.

Planning your perfect honeymoon is a welcome and enjoyable getaway as a couple. It can take you on a brave adventure or to white sandy beaches, through vibrant cities or to ancient ruins. The best destination for you and your honeymoon goals may be the one you have always dreamed of but could also be a place you have not yet considered, that offers you similar experiences but within your preferred budget.
