Where is everyone going for their honeymoon? We had really wanted to go to the Caribbean or the Far East but as we are getting married in September it's the wrong time of year :-( We want to go literally straight after the wedding to keep the magic sparkle going so are thinking Europe, possibly Croatia or Santorini. Has anyone had any experience there, or got any good ideas?

We are going on a weeks holiday straight after the wedding and then having a 'proper' honeymoon abroad next year when the season is better and we have more annual leave! Haha!

We are going to Tuscany. Beautiful part of Italy. We are going a couple of days after our wedding.

Why don't you go on a minimoon somewhere straight after your wedding and then go to the Caribbean as planned in say March when the weather is better? I think it might give you something else to look forward to as well rather than all the excitement of wedding and honeymoon being over at once :)

I've been to the Caribbean twice in September (Mexico at the start of the month and Domincan Republic at the end of the month) and the weather was fantastic!

We went to santorini in October and the weather was stunning. Really warm in the day but a bit chilly at night. It is the most breathtaking place I've been and the views are incredible. We went to a wedding at the rocabella hotel which was incredible...

Croatia was our second choice! We've picked Rhodes! Again it was the wrong time of year for Caribbean.

One of my bridesmaids is getting married a week later so we are not going on honeymoon straight away :) As others have said, maybe do a mini moon, we will be going somewhere like Brighton for a couple of days straight from the wedding then honeymoon in Thailand later in the year or maybe even next year :) Santorini is amazing though if you did want to go there. Best holiday I have been on, so much to explore as the island is so small and so many gorgeous views. We stayed in Perissa which has the best beach and is the cheapest area. Some lovely retaurants and beach bars along the beach :) Jo Jos beach bar https://www.facebook.com/JOJO-Summer-Beach-Bar-Santorini-1439287932976803/ is the best and restaurant wise, FortyOne https://www.facebook.com/41-Forty-One-507133719464421/?hc_ref=SEARCH has the best food, we ate there twice! Too many other amazing things there to list but highly recommend :):)

We're getting married in September. We had our hearts set on Santorini but when we went to the travel agents they strongly advised against it as its raining season so we've booked Mexico which we also loved the look of X

We might go to Chile for our honeymoon if we get married in September/October. It will be their summer at that time and apparently it's lovely :) (H2B has family out there so knows it well)

I went to Croatia in August which is where we got engaged. The lady we stayed with said that the season really dies down from September and the last few days we were there wasn't great weather. We went to Vietnam for our honeymoon the following August and chose where we went carefully to get the best weather as Vietnam has different climates. We've also been to Mexico in August and whilst its hurricanes season I think we actually had better weather then than when we went last year in may

We can't afford a honeymoon straight away but we wanna go to Iceland in a year or so. Japan is our dream destination, but waaaaaay too expensive!

UKbride Administrator 21 Apr 2017

What about Italy? Amalfi, Tuscany, Sorrento and Venice are all lovely places. Rome is also amazing if you're in to that sort of thing. Could have a day in Capri which is stunning. I haven't been to Santorini but have been told it's amazing x

We went to Cuba in September. Nothing wrong with the weather and it a lot cheaper to go there than most of the Caribbean.

We went to Costa Rica in August. The hot season starts in October! But it was hot in August over 40degrees! If you love wildlife and nature it is definitely the place to go. The picture is from the hanging bridges in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Santorini is absolutely stunning!!! We had our Honeymoon in October 2015, 2 days after our wedding. We went to Crete for 10 days but did a day trip to Santorini. The temperature was always between 22 - 28 degrees!

I'm doing Mexico in September. Was doing Mauritius but hotel shut for refurb and the hotel he put us in was the windy side of the island. What about Aruba? It's Caribbean but under the hurricane belt. Bali? Sri Lanka? Cape Verde? Thailand? Seychelles?

We have the same issue we are getting married middle of December next year and my partner wants to go to the Caribbean and I want to go to the Maldives but are worried about temperature and weather. I suggested going late January being of February but my partner wants to go right after the wedding so we would be away over xmas and new year which again bumps up the price. Anyone been away late December early January? We want it to be hot!

We risked going to the Dominican. We got married on 24th September last year and flew out within a few days. We went for 2 weeks and was aware that it was the wet season but had heard of a few people that had been that time of year with no problems. We had rain but it was through the night. You never knew it was raining as it was completely dry when you got up the next morning. The temperature was always hot aswel. x

We are get married two weeks tomorrow and are headed straight for the Dominican Republic 2 days after . This is the start of the wet season bit have friends thatwent around the same time and said it only rained at night and it's very humid during the day. We also looked at Cape Verde but believe it or not it was a lot more expensive and we're getting less for our money. xXx

I'm not really convinced about some of the advice you've been given regards the weather! The 'rainy' seasons are nothing more than guidelines based on past experiences. It can rain anytime, trust me....and no travel agent worthy of the name would try to predict it!! However, there are places that tend to have reasonably consistent weather patterns......it all depends on the type of honeymoon you want( I'm guessing hot?! Beaches?!....) . As an independent travel specialist I'd be happy to help. I advertise on ukbrides.. You can contact me here.... Steve Friend - Brilliant Travel
