All the latest wedding news for couples getting married in England and Wales, along with bridal fashion and beauty inspiration and honeymoon ideas.
Destination honeymoons have been popular for many years, but trends show that couples are creating unforgettable engagements too. After all everyone loves to go on holiday, so what could be more romantic than going away somewhere really special to pop-the-question? No matter what you choose – a few days in a beautiful city, a beach getaway or an action packed adventure – a destination proposal is a wonderful and memorable way to start your engagement. Britt-Marie Monks the director of London based, specialist travel agency, The Honeymoon Fixer told us that she recently booked a special holiday for a couple at the Sugar Bay Hotel in Barbados and was also asked to organise a private dinner on the beach for the proposal. The client requested candles to line the pathway to the beach, a large heart to be made from red roses and a saxophonist to serenade them once they were seated. The destination you choose doesn’t have to be traditionally romantic. Perhaps you’d like to revisit a place you both love or maybe you’d rather experience somewhere totally new? Here are some ideas from The Honeymoon Fixer.
Wherever and whatever holiday you decide for the proposal getting help from a travel expert is well worthwhile. They can give you advice on the best time of year to visit, help you avoid tourist hotspots, book hotels and organise the itinerary.
One last and important piece of advice from Britt is "don't plan the proposal for the final night. The last thing you want is to spend most of your time away worrying and not being able to fully relax. Remember it is your holiday too!"
