Top9HoneymoonEssentials

While we often get caught up in the excitement of the wedding, the fun doesn’t stop once you say “I Do” – now it is time to plan your honeymoon! Whether you are traveling across Europe, embarking on a cross-country road trip or soaking up the sunshine on a picturesque beach, these are the top 9 things we suggest you pack for your once in a lifetime trip.

  1. A Chic Travel Wallet – This one from Cuyana is dual purpose and will work as a wallet with elegantly labeled compartments for your travel documents, passport and currency. It can also transform into a clutch for the evenings! (We also love their straw tote for warm destinations and the travel case set – perfect for packing your toiletries, sunscreen, and beauty must haves!)
  2. A Signature Scent – Many people attribute scents to their most cherished memories. Pack your favorite fragrance on your honeymoon and years from now, you will fondly remember your travels every time you spritz that fragrance or burn a special candle. This set from Diptyque is the ideal travel companion. You also can’t go wrong with travel friendly rollerball fragrances!
  3. Pretty Pajamas – We love the gorgeous chemises from Eberjey. They come in the prettiest hues and the softest fabrics!
  4. Hammamas Towels (Set of 2) – perfect for picnics or trips to the beach, these cotton towels are inspired by turkish towels and handcrafted with soft absorbent cotton. They can also be used as a wrap on the plane!
  5. Stylish Swimwear – Marysia Swim is our go to brand for bathing suits. How fun is this scalloped style?!
  6. Sandals that will take you Day to Night – These grown up jelly sandals are perfect to take you from the beach to a casual dinner!
  7. Travel Friendly Electronics – a portable speaker, mophie, electric adapter that works in 150 different countries, and of course a camera to document your adventures!
  8. Dinner Dress – On your honeymoon you will be taking tons of photos. Pack a dress for dinner that makes you feel special and you will love for years to come as you reminisce on the pictures you took on your trip.
  9. Reading Material and Guidebooks – If you have extra time on the plane or the beach, be sure to pack reading material (your kindle or favorite magazine!) and guide books that will help you plan your trip and not to miss any of the exciting sites of your honeymoon destination.

Happy Packing!
