Honeymoon Destinations

So your big day is coming up; the ceremony is all planned, the flowers and décor are picked out and your dress is simply breathtaking. But have you put equally as much thought into the vacation post the wedding? Now is the time to focus on what could be considered as the best part of the wedding, the honeymoon. While weddings are an exciting time all on their own, the vacation that follows is meant to give you the time to relax and enjoy one another. For most, this is the vacation of a lifetime and one that is both romantic and fun. So don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to your honeymoon and regardless of you budget find the designation that right is for you. Here are my favorites, happy planning! 

If you’re a sporty and active couple on the hunt for a honeymoon filled with killer beach activities, Turks and Caicos is the perfect spot. Between scuba diving, windsurfing and boating, this Caribbean adventure will leave you feeling even more in love.

How about an idyllic road trip up the coast of Maine? Sip your coffee while lounging in a picturesque Adirondack chair by the sea, while enjoying lobster rolls and crisp New England air. Romantic walks along the beach and the quaint setting will leave you lovebirds feeling totally relaxed and focused on one another.

Are you both super adventurous, looking for a trip with memories that will last a lifetime? How about making your honeymoon a trip to the wilds you won’t forget. Totally lavish and exclusive, a safari excursion in Africa offers the ultimate in luxury and adventure all wrapped into one.

Are you planning your honeymoon right now? Have any of these swayed your decision?

BRIDESMAIDS

Jennifer Lawrence  is used to stealing the spotlight on red carpets and at awards shows. But for her brother's wedding last autumn, she was happy to let the bride have her moment.

The 23-year-old actress was one of 10 beautiful bridesmaids  in the Kentucky wedding, which took place in October 2013. The gorgeous nuptials are featured on the cover of the new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.

In the stunning cover shot, Jennifer and the other smiling bridesmaids crowd around the blushing bride, Carson Massler. All 10 ladies are wearing lovely J.Crew dresses in the same champagne colour - though they chose varying styles. Jennifer's strapless version is the J.Crew 

What color dress should your bridesmaids wear?? Let me know!! xo

Sag es durch die Blume

Schon im 18. Jahrhundert nutzte man Blumen  zur heimlichen Kommunikation .

Welche Botschaft in Ihrem Brautstrauß steckt, lest ihr hier:

Rose: Die Königin der Blume in der Farbe Rot symbolisiert Liebe, Rosa bedeutet Jugend,
          Weiß wiederum Unschuld und Treue


Lilie: Insbesondere die weisse Sorte symbolisiert Licht und daut Reinheit

Calla: Früher stand die Blume für Unsterblichkeit später wurde ihre Botschaft
          " Du bist zauberhaft schön"

Tulpe: In der Blumensprache steht Sie für Liebe und Zuneigung. Es heisst je dunkler,
           desto intensiver die Gefühle

Vergissmeinnicht: Wie der Name schon sagt, sollende Blumen dran erinnern, den Angetrauten
                              niemals zu vergessen und außerdem steht sie für die wahre Liebe

Freesie: Wegen ihrer frischen Farben und viele Knospen stehen sie vor allem für Zärtlichkeit
              und romantische Komplimente

Maiglöckchen: die süß duftenden Glöckchen sind Sinnbild für die erwachende Liebe....

Weiss noch jemand, von wem das der Brautstrauß war??

Heiraten im Paradies

 Das Beste zum Schluss: Jetzt geht es in die Flitterwochen!

Aber vielleicht möchten Sie sich ja auch lieber gleich an einem dieser romantischen Orte trauen lassen......

Hier meine Tipps auf die Ihr achten solltet:

Jedes Land hat eigene Richtlinien. Sobald das Wunschziel für eine Hochzeit feststeht, geht es ans Organisieren. Jets Lag benötigt einen bestimmten Satz an Unterlagen, die teilweise auch zuvor übersetzt und beglaubigt werden müssen. Deswegen unbedingt Zeit und Kosten einplanen.

Nachträglich die Heirat im eigenen Land registrieren lassen, denn die im Ausland geschlossenen Ehe muss im eigenen Land immer amtlich nachgetragen werden.

Ausnahme: möchte man in einem muslimischen Land heiraten, dazu gehören z.B. auch die Malediven, wird die Ehe in vielen katholischen  Ländern nicht anerkannt, da es sich um keine n üblicher Form der Eheschließung handelt: dann muss man nach der Rückkehr noch mal das Aufgebot bestellen.

...so und jetzt drei traumhafte  Anregungen von mir  , wo ihr Euren schönsten Tag des Lebens verbringen könntet:

HAWAII - Big Island Fairmont Orchid-Resort 

MAURITIUS - The Residence

LAS VEAGAS - Bellagio 

Lasst mich wissen, wo ihr gelandet seid - freue mich über Eure Feedbacks!!!!!!!
