TRAVEL COLUMN: Honeymoon – or maybe a mini-moon

The price of weddings is skyrocketing and with the ever – increasing demands of work, newlyweds are seeking mini- escapes directly after their wedding, in order to delay the traditional and longer honeymoon until the best season hits their destination of choice.
Peak wedding season in the UK doesn’t naturally mean it is peak season in many of the traditional honeymoon destinations.
For busy couples a mini-moon/maxi-moon idea works well for them, they have the choice of a short break post wedding to perhaps destinations with a shortish flight time such as Marrakech, Venice, Rome.
Some may choose Antigua, Dubai or New York as these are easy to organise and can be done quickly so as not to add to the sheer exertion of organising the wedding.
The advantages are clear to see.
One aspect is of course in the planning.
Once back from your mini-moon with the memories and photographs of your special day you can then focus on planning your dream honeymoon at the perfect time for your chosen destination.
For couples looking for a romantic UK break, you will find that UK hotels are tapping in on the trend by creating standalone rooms with extra privacy for mini-mooners.
These can range from the Cotswolds to Scotland with a range of budgets to suit everyone.
Should you wish to celebrate your wedding abroad or if you are looking at taking a mini or maxi moon, please come along to your local Independent!
