It’s June, the sun is shining, the Wedding Season of 2013 is well underway, and if you are one of the happy couples tying the knot this year, it is time to get down to the ‘serious’ job of planning your honeymoon!

Two weeks somewhere warm and exotic where you can indulge the seven senses, relax with your soul mate, and celebrate your marital bliss, the perfect honeymoon really is the icing on the wedding cake, which is perhaps why more and more couples are asking for honeymoon donations over wedding gifts.

Toasters and cutlery may well come in handy, but I have yet to meet anyone who would choose a blender over a honeymoon in Fiji! So if your wedding budget is tight, why not give your guests the opportunity to contribute to your first holiday as newlyweds, that way they don’t have to think of a gift, and you get the honeymoon you have always dreamed of!

Once your honeymoon budget is set, the next step is choosing where to go.  Hawaii, Mauritius, the Caribbean and the Seychelles are all popular honeymoon choices, but if you are looking for something a little bit different, you might just find it in our Honeymoon Hot Spots for 2013 Weddings:

The Island of Spice – Zanzibar, Tanzania

Breathtakingly beautiful and warm all year round, Zanzibar is still relatively undiscovered and a great place for those looking to relax in 5-Star All-Inclusive luxury.

Sabi Sand Game Reserve – South Africa

Luxurious hotels in one of the world’s most romantic settings, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve attracts honeymooners from across the globe.

Venice – Italy

If you are looking for a seriously romantic European honeymoon destination, look no further than the Italian paradise of Venice, where beautiful hotels, gondola rides and delicious dining comes as standard.
