Honeymoon 101

Yes, your wedding day will be the most magical day of your life... You'll spend months making sure it is absolutely perfect. blueshoe loves being a part of this big day! However, let's not forget about the day after, the much needed post-nuptial getaway. The blueshoe team can help you plan the perfect honeymoon as well... Wherever, whatever that means to you.

For all of you DIY'ers, the honeymoon is a great way for the husband-to-be to get seriously involved in the planning process. As the resident 'male influence' here at blueshoe, I'll periodically post about travel tips, locations and all things honeymoon.

Planning a honeymoon can be very challenging. Especially if you’re attempting to plan the “super secret honeymoon of the century!" The decisions are endless: where do we go? Where do we stay? How much will it cost? All-inclusive? Bed and breakfast? Beach? Mountain? This is where you say to yourself, “I wish there was a website that has the answers to all of my travel questions in one convenient, easy-to-use location!” Well today's your lucky day, TripAdvisor is exactly what you're looking for!

TripAdvisor has become the world’s leading travel site. It has info on every travel destination you can think of. I mean EVERY destination. With info on every hotel, restaurant and attraction near by.  As you can see below, it’s very user-friendly with links to airfare and hotel booking sites, as well as a quick search box to get you on your way. And, of course, they have a mobile app for every platform possible.



Everything is ranked based on advice and reviews from real travelers, who take pride in writing honest, helpful posts. I guarantee you will spend hours on this website reading blogs, looking at pictures, trying to find the perfect honeymoon destination.

My favorite page on the whole site is their “Best of” lists. Every year, TripAdvisor publishes Traveler’s Choice awards showing the best of everything according to their rankings. This is a fantastic place to start your research.

Happy planning!


FYI – This site is a great resource as well if you’re thinking of tying the knot in one of these exotic locales. Of course, blueshoe is ready to help you make your destination wedding absolutely unforgettable!

Vendor of the week - Big Rock Little Rooster

I told my husband after visiting BRLR the first time that we would probably be renewing our vows every couple of years. Ladies, the dresses in this boutique will make you want to get married over and over again. The best part is that each wedding could take on a different personality - there really is something for everyone!!! Plus, the staff is absolutely amazing!!

Here are a couple of my personal favorites...



Not only do they carry bridal couture but also bridesmaid dresses and fabulous accessories! Recently they showcased head pieces from Amy Hamilton of Granville Millinery Company.








































And, It wouldn't be quite as much fun without a little sass...

Badcock Apparel

Recently we collaborated on a fabulous photo shoot - blog coming soon and a gallery showing/cocktails & couture to celebrate in September - details will be released shortly!!
