Planning SOS
| Q | We've just started planning our honeymoon; what advice can you share to help the process? |
| A | Amisha Patel says: The honeymoon is when you kick back and focus on the two of you while thoughts of seating charts, wedding favours and centrepieces become a distant memory. With a literal world of destinations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. At Tailored Retreats, it helps to consider some fundamental questions starting with those centred around you as a couple. What do you enjoy doing together, and are there destinations or experiences you both have on your bucket lists? Weddings often reflect the happy couple; the perfect honeymoon should follow suit! Next, think about whether you have set travel dates and departure points or if you have flexibility. Many hotels offer honeymoon benefits for couples travelling within a year of their wedding, and flexibility can mean cost savings as well as a greater choice of destinations, hotels and flights. Finally, agree on your budget. Without an idea of what you want to spend, planning a honeymoon can be exhaustive to no avail. Off the back of these initial questions, a good travel agent can narrow down destinations before working with you to design a tailor-made itinerary for your dream honeymoon. |

Travel
| Q | Following the last 18months, how has the wedding industry changed? |
| A | Kimberley Greenslade says: They say the more things change, the more they stay the same. Well, in The Bahamas, the sands are just as white, the waters just as blue, and the champagne just as cold as before. What's different? There's a little more rhythm in the air and there's a little more wanderlust in the eyes of lovers new and old, after the long awaited 'I dos' due to Covid, it's made it now more meaningful than ever and they want to celebrate on their honeymoon. With 16 main islands there's no shortage of special locations for your honeymoon in The Bahamas – a dream for social distancing if this is still a concern for those looking to travel abroad! Leave your footprints across miles of pink sand beaches on Eleuthera and Harbour Island before retiring to your waterside cottage. Craving adventure after a year of lockdowns? Immerse yourself in some of the clearest waters in the world and dive, snorkel, or fish the day away. For that special selfie with the famous swimming pigs, visit them in The Exumas, Rose Island, The Abacos, and Spanish Wells! |
