So we're getting married August 2018 and have been looking at honeymoon...

So we're getting married August 2018 and have been looking at honeymoon destinations. The problem is that I'm terrible when it comes to being hot, I can barely stand the summer temperatures here. Can anyone suggest some cooler honeymoon destinations that have plenty to do and won't break the bank???

Does it have to be abroad? A friend of mine stayed in a treehouse in Scotland for her honeymoon and it looked so relaxing and romantic

It depends what you like? If you're into hiking etc. I would 100000% recommend Norway! So gorgeous. Have a look at places like Austria, Amsterdam etc. And if you go later in the year, Italy isn't too hot. I went to Italy in September a few years ago and it was warm, but not hot i had to have a little jacket on. Hopes this helps x

I haven't looked so could be way off but what about Scandinavia or Iceland or something? Not sure what their weather is like then but might be worth a look? X

Ireland is beautiful. And never too hot, just remember your umbrella. The country is so nice though, lots to explore, or relax in a nice hotel. The food everywhere we ate was amazing. And it won't break the bank. We went in August two years running for a wedding and the flights and accommodation was really nicely priced. We booked really early to get a good price, in the January or February.

Cruises around the Norwegian fjords look amazing.

Iceland is extremely expensive once you get there. We went for a week for our honeymoon. Took £1000 spending money and had to get more out. I would recommend going to any European countries in late autumn and throughout winter. Places south of the Equator like South Africa will be in their winter season in August.

You could go to Iceland or somewhere in the UK or look at northern Europe too x

Myself and my h2b are the same with the heat and don't have the most money for the honeymoon. We are looking at Paris (and Disneyland) :-) and may ask people to put money/vouchers towards honeymoon as wedding presents :-)

We're getting married end of November this year and going to New York - I can't wait to see the tree at Rockefeller centre and the ice rink and all the other sites - hopefully snowy. We are not hot weather people either xx

Vietnam - just choose where to go. We went there for our honeymoon in August 2014. Some places are really hot, others a bit cooler. Cheap once you're there too!

Hi. I'm an independent travel specialist, and advertise on ukbrides for all sorts of honeymoons. Like a lot of people on here have said, it really depends on what you like about a holiday, and of course your budget. Its your honeymoon, so should be special. Rather than a traditional travel agent, I work with you to create the perfect trip, and it doesn't cost any more, often less. There so many ' cool' options ( excuse the pun!) So its a matter finding out what you really want, then making it happen. You can contact me here Steve Friend - Brilliant Travel or email me at [email protected] we're fully ABTA and ATOL protected.
