Your London Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 67)

SAIL INTO THE SUNSET Experience a honeymoon sailing through sparkling waters, relaxing on stunning beaches or hidden coves and watching the sun set from a deck of a private yacht. Dream Yacht Charter has launched a by-the-cabin option that newlyweds can enjoy in some of the world’s most romantic hotspots such as the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Indian Ocean, Asia, the Pacific and the Mediterranean. Couples need not worry about having to hoist sails or drop the anchor as the yachts have a full crew to manage the sailing and to cook delicious meals using fresh local ingredients. In addition, the cruises follow carefully planned itineraries sailing through some of the most beautiful waters in the world.  Turquoise Holidays offers a seven-night by-the-cabin cruise around the British Virgin Islands from £1,655 per person, based on two adults sharing a cabin with private bathroom. This price is for travel in June 2020 and includes a 25 per cent discount for the bride. Visit turquoiseholidays.co.uk to find out more.

However, slippery pool surrounds pose quite the hazard to newlyweds, and ending up in the local A&E – wherever that may be – with a sprained or broken ankle isn’t going to be on anyone’s bucket list! Luckily this fun and funky new line of Slipfree® shoes provides the perfect solution. Thin enough to swim in, yet with a sturdy grip for soggy surfaces, the footwear prevents falls on wet or dry surfaces. Visit iloveslipfree.co.uk to order. Prices are £18.95 for adults and £14.95 for children. WINE AND DINE DOWN UNDER No Australian honeymoon is complete without a trip to see the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge; however, as striking as the city is, there are plenty of sights outside the busy metropolis just waiting to be explored. Hunter Private Tours take newlyweds on a chauffeured trip around boutique wineries in the Hunter Valley – one of the country’s most acclaimed wine destinations. Couples can create their own itinerary for the ultimate day out amongst the rolling countryside and lush vineyards. For details visit hunterprivatetours.com.au 121 HONEYMOON NEWS
