Honeymoon Bliss: Your First Adventure Together
Planning a honeymoon is a big deal—it’s your first adventure
as a married couple and the cherry on top of your wedding celebrations. But
when should you start, and where should you go?
When to Start Planning:
- Ideally,
6-12 months before your wedding, especially if you’re eyeing
popular honeymoon destinations or peak travel seasons.
How to Plan Your Dream Honeymoon:
- Set
Your Priorities: Relaxation, adventure, culture, or all of the above?
Your travel consultant can design an itinerary that reflects your
interests.
- Consider
Your Budget: Whether it’s a luxury overwater villa or a charming
boutique hotel, there’s something for every couple.
- Add
Special Touches: Think candlelit dinners on the beach, private tours,
or spa days—because your honeymoon should feel extra special.

Bora, French Polynesia: Overwater bungalows and crystal-clear lagoons.

Africa: Combine safaris with wine tasting and scenic coastline drives.
Hen & Stag Parties: Let’s Get the Party Started!
The hen and stag do is a rite of passage, a final hurrah
before the big day. But organising it? That’s usually the responsibility of the
Maid of Honour or Best Man, and it’s no small task.
Who Organises the Hen or Stag Do? Traditionally, the Maid
of Honour plans the hen do, while the Best Man handles the stag.
However, delegation and teamwork are key—it’s all about making it stress-free
and fun for everyone!
Checklist for the Organisers:
- Pick
a Destination: Keep in mind the bride or groom’s personality—are they
beach lovers, adventurers, or city slickers?
- Plan
Activities: Think spa days, wine tastings, paintballing, or comedy
clubs.
- Organise
Accommodation: Ensure it’s group-friendly and suits everyone’s budget.
- Secure
Transport: Book flights, trains, or party buses well in advance.
- Consider
the Budget: Make sure costs are clear to everyone from the start.

- Amsterdam:
Trendy bars, canal cruises, and unforgettable nightlife.

Perfect for sun, sea, and the best clubs in the world.
- Edinburgh:
Ideal for whisky tastings, ghost tours, and a lively bar scene.
