    Exciting things to do on your beach honeymoon

    No Comments

    After the romantic wedding, comes the romantic honeymoon. Whether you’re jet-setting overseas for an island getaway or heading up the coast of your homeland, there are bound to be endless options of exciting things to do together.

    Here are a few ideas for honeymoon inspiration.

    1. Scuba diving

    Exploring on foot is one thing but getting to know the underwater world is unlike any other experience. With a team of trained professionals, you and your partner can dive deep and explore the oceanic wonders. It really is a world of its own. It’s also the perfect opportunity to snap some unique pics together.

    2. Hiking

    If you’re on a beach honeymoon, then there’s bound to be a viewpoint of sorts. If you and your partner are quite active, you will enjoy spending some time in the great outdoors. It’s a chance to get in touch with nature and appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Think of those breath-taking scenes that will paint the perfect backdrop for your honeymoon photos.

    #RoysPeak (Post 1 of many ?) When we hike, I used to be the only psycho one about taking a million photos of the beauty that surrounded us. Then we got selfie stick and for this trip, a #GoProHero, and @ssteview started taking just as many photos and videos as me! (Alright maybe not quite as much as me, but enough for a happy wife ?.) It isn’t every day that we get the pleasure of hiking 11km and over 4,000 feet in elevation gain, but I love looking back at all these pictures we took along the way. This hike was a tough one and took 6 hours or so to complete, but the views were stunning from the very start and we even got to see some sheep along the way! (Stay tuned for that!) Oh and if you look close enough in the last picture, you will see me struggling to get up the last stretch! ? . . #nz #royspeaktrack #newzealand #honeymoonhike #honeymoon #honeymoondestination #queenstown #wanaka #mustdonz #nzmustdo #mustseenz #nzmustsee @purenewzealand #purenewzealand #beautifuldestinations #beautifulplaces @beautiful.newzealand #earthpix @earthpix @newzealandtrails @newzealandguide #southisland #southislandnewzealand #southislandnz #nzsouthisland

    3. Get to know the locals

    Exploring the local town you are staying in, is best done on foot. It gives you the chance to interact and talk to the locals, to find out inside information on hidden gems, like restaurants or things to see in the town. It also gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the the culture. This helps you to gain a whole new perspective on a place you were once unfamiliar with.

    4. Appreciate the beauty

    If walking, hiking and diving aren’t for the newly wed couple, you can simply just appreciate the beauty. Spend your days on the balcony, on the beach under a palm tree or on a guided tour of your destination. Make sure you enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. Take a stroll by the ocean and venture out for romantic candle lit dinners. This is your honeymoon after all.

    5. Sky diving or parasailing

    If you’re looking for an extreme honeymoon be sure to check out sky diving. Enjoy the adrenaline rush while you and your partner embark on this adventure. If sky diving is a bit too extreme, opt for parasailing behind a boat. Both get you sky high and are a thrill-seeker’s dream come true.

    6. Dancing

    Where there is people, there is dancing. Even if you have two left feet dancing can be so much fun. Ask aorund for local dancing spots near where you’re staying and head out. It’s romantic and exhilarating. Enjoy the wiggle and laugh.

    7. Spa day

    While a couples spa day is appropriate on any honeymoon, take some time to spoil yourselves wherever you choose to go. Indulge in a hot rock massage, relaxing in a steam room or soothing facial. Some spa’s even have couple packages so you and your partner don’t have to loose any time together.

    Pros and cons of a destination wedding

    No Comments

    Destination weddings are quickly becoming a popular option, but as with any wedding choice, they come with their own pros and cons.

    Guests

    The biggest appeal of having a destination wedding is being able to get married in a beautiful setting and potentially having a much smaller guest list as not everyone will have the time or money to make the trip. However, this also means that some people that you would have wanted to be there might not be able to make it.

    Before settling on the idea of a destination wedding, chat to the people that you absolutely have to have at your wedding and see if they are able to make it. You can also consider covering a portion of their costs if your budget allows. For example, you could pay for their accommodation and then they are just responsible for their flights.

    Costs

    While your guest list may be smaller, meaning your ceremony and reception will cost less, you will have to spend more money on events surrounding the wedding to thank your guests for attending and making their trip worthwhile, and again, if you decide to cover their accommodation or some other costs, you will be spending even more.

    Gifts

    The biggest gift you will receive from your guests is their presence; if you are having a destination wedding, that should be enough. Since most of your guests’ budgets will go towards flights and possibly accommodation, you need to be okay with receiving smaller or fewer gifts.

    Planning

    Some resorts at popular destination wedding locations offer all-inclusive packages which means that most of the planning and execution will be done for you, which takes a lot of the stress off. But leaving the fate of your wedding day in the hands of others, especially when you are not able to be there to oversee planning and preparations, can also be very stressful. One way to combat this is to be flexible and to find reputable vendors.

    Legality

    Do your research on marriage laws in the location of your wedding and find out if the marriage licence you obtain is also legal in your home country. A way to get around this potential hassle is to get legally married in your home country and use your destination wedding as your celebration. You can decide whether or not to tell your guests about your legal marriage before the wedding, but since your destination wedding will be the main event and look exactly like any other wedding it might not be necessary.

    Honeymoon

    A big pro that comes with having a destination wedding is that you will save on your honeymoon as you will already be in the setting of your dreams. Although, this also means that your wedding guests will potentially be on your honeymoon with you as they have already travelled quite a way. You can consider travelling a short distance from your wedding location for a more private honeymoon. For example, if you decide to host your wedding in Santorini, you and your partner can travel to one of the other Greek islands for your honeymoon.

    Things to consider:

    – Whether the location of your destination wedding is easily accessible
    – Sending out save the dates way before the recommended time to give your guests enough time to look at flights and book at cheaper rates
    – Whether you are able to contribute towards any of the costs that come with a destination wedding like flights, accommodation or food
    – The fact that not everyone will be able to make it… and that some people you were hoping wouldn’t come will think this is a great excuse to take a little vacation.

    At the end of the day, it is your wedding and you decide where you get married, so you just need to see if the pros outweigh the cons based on your personal preferences.

Some of the lakes and smaller islands near Coron are restricted only to Tagbanwa tribespeople, held sacred as burial grounds and ancient ritual sites. Traveler tip: If you get a chance to make it to this beautiful, history-laden destination, be sure to visit Kayangan Lake, Maquinit Springs, and to go for a swim in the turquoise waters off the island’s coast, pictured here.

Well unless you’re Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, you may need to budget and plan for your great escape. Honeymoons can be expensive, so to help you along, we’ve gathered a few spots for a budget-friendly honeymoon:

    Proudly South African

    With so much beauty around the corner, you may want to opt for a local honeymoon. Do you know your own town, city or province?

    1. The Garden Route

    With 300km worth of beauty, the options are endless. Make a road trip of it. Check in to a local lodge or hotel and become a tourist in your own town. Make sure you don’t miss out on whale watching in Hermanus and the nature reserves along the Garden Route. Enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches of Plettenberg Bay. Get your surf on in J Bay, or pop in to the Addo Elephant Park.

    2. Cape Town

    It is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With so much to see and do, you and your partner will have plenty to keep you busy and connecting in a special way. Be sure to checkout Table Mountain, Bo Kaap, Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, and Chapman’s Peak Drive.

    Me dragging Erik to another photo shoot like… ? He likes to act like he hates taking photos, mostly because we took about a million our wedding weekend. But honestly, is there anything better than going on vacation, especially your honeymoon, and having a photographer there to get some incredible shots? ? I don’t think so. So we scheduled a shoot in Cape Town using @flytographer. They set you up with amazing photographers all over the world to capture those special moments for you. Our photos were taken by Nadine with #flytographer and we could not be happier with the results ?. If you’d like to use them for a photo shoot as well, you can use the code ‘DoctorDiaries50’ for $50 off either a photo shoot or a gift card, which will be valid until the end of the year (‪December 31st, 2019‬). I hope you love these photos (and this company) as much as we do! ?

    PICTURES: Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s romantic honeymoon

    No Comments

    Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are luxuriating in the Maldives for their honeymoon after their second wedding. The couple were first wed in an impromptu Vegas-style ceremony on May 1 2019, the same day as the Billboard Music Awards. They made a little elopement to a chapel, and the ceremony was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator.

    On June 29, the two had another wedding – this time planned and a little more conventional – and tied the knot again, in front of family and friends. The romantic ceremony was held in a picturesque chateau in the south of France. Sophie wore a beautiful Nicholas Ghesquière wedding gown from Louis Vuitton. The beautiful silk and lace dress included an open back, traditional veil, plunge line neck and lace sleeves. Joe opted for a Berluti, black tuxedo designed by Kris Van Assche.

    The details are kept to a minimum though, as Sophie stated that she wanted to keep things private.

    After a wedding for the books, of course, comes the intimate honeymoon. The (kind-of) newlyweds are enjoying their honeymoon at one of the Soneva Fushi beachfront villas on Kunfunadhoo Island.

    About Sophie Turner’s custom Louis Vuitton gown

    No Comments

    The long-awaited wedding of Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and musician Joe Jonas finally took place in June and we couldn’t help swoon over the stunning Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière wedding dress she wore.

    Rumour has it the intricately detailed work of art took over 10 embroiders working for 1 050 hours on 14 metres of fabric to finally complete the immaculate creation.

    Each panel of the dress was decorated with 5 400 crystal beads complimented by 50 400 white beads with a veil to match – which also took 48 hours to hand embroider.

     

    View this post on Instagram

     

    Absolute beauty @sophiet

    A post shared by ? (@nicolasghesquiere) on

    The dress has a classic design with long sheer fitted sleeves, a thick waistband and plunging V-neckline to accentuate Sophie’s figure.

    The beautiful bride paired her dress with a cascading white bouquet and a natural make up look with loose hair.

    Ghesquière designed the custom wedding dress for Sophie, complete with flower-embroidered tulle and silk gazar.

    A cut out back was included in the one-of-a-kind design as well as a lace-trimmed veil with minute decorative ornamental needlework.

    The gorgeous couple were wed in a French chateau and a general theme of French flair was certainly present throughout the affair.

    It goes without saying that Sophie’s stylish assumable was the envy of brides-to-be everywhere as she happily made her way down the isle. We can’t all afford Louis Vuitton wedding gowns but we can most certainly dream, drool and pin it on our Pinterest boards.

    Diamonds: Understanding the 4 C’s

    No Comments

    You’ve  heard about the 4 C’s in diamonds, especially when choosing an engagement ring, but what do they actually mean?

    The 4 C’s – cut, colour, clarity and carat – refer to the standards by which  the quality of diamonds are assessed and allows one to compare diamonds.

    Cut

    The cut is important for the diamond’s overall beauty, as it determines how well the diamond unleashes light. This is not to be confused with the shape of the diamond. Cut refers to the diamond’s light performance (in layman’s terms, how much it sparkles). The cut will determine how the stone refracts and reflects light. A perfect stone (balanced and symmetrical) will be cut in such a way that the light that enters it will only reflect out the top of the stone, therefore making it very sparkly. A diamond that is cut too shallow or too deep will cause the light to leak out of the sides or bottom of the stone which causes a loss of shine. The sparkle of a well cut diamond can make it appear larger and you can therefore opt for a smaller carat weight. Who knew, right?!

    Colour

    Strangely enough, this actually refers to the lack of colour found in a diamond. The less colour, the more rate it is. Diamonds are graded on a scale of D-Z; with D (or white diamonds) being completely colourless. D-F are considered colourless and are therefore the most expensive. G-I are near colourless and slightly less expensive while J-Z have noticeable colour in the stone. Only diamond experts can actually tell the difference in anything higher than a G grading, so if budget is a consideration but you still want a white-looking diamond, a G or H grade diamond will be perfectly fine.

    Clarity

    Measures the imperfections found in the diamond in terms of number, size and position on a scale that ranges from imperfect to flawless. Internal imperfections are referred to as inclusions and external as blemishes. Clarity is often considered the least important of the 4 C’s due to the fact that the imperfections are often microscopic and depending on the location of the inclusions found in the stone, they can be hidden with the right ring setting.

    Carat

    Refers to the weight of the diamond, not the size. Two different shaped diamonds can have the same carat weight but appear slightly different in size. With a larger carat weight, the colour becomes more visible and therefore needs to be taken into consideration.

    Once you understand the 4 C’s, you will need to think about which one is the most important to you when choosing your ring.

    You’ll be spoiled for choice on your honeymoon at Sabi Sands Game Reserve

    No Comments

    Known as one of the most famous private game reserves and neighbour to South Africa’s crown jewel the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands Game Reserve offers guests a safari experience like no other in the world. Enjoy your chance to see the Big Five, luxurious accommodation to suit any taste, spectacular views and bird watching galore.

    Sabi Sands Game Reserve was previously agricultural land. Due to all the cattle that appeared in the area, there was a great need for a reliable water source on the farms. In order for this water to be provided, boreholes had to be drilled to ensure that there was a steady supply of water. Years after Sabi Sands Game Reserve was established, all the boreholes that were drilled are still in perfect working condition. They now provide not only the cattle on surrounding farms with water but also all the wildlife on the game reserve, making Sabi Sands a prevalent place for great herds of animals.

    Sabi Sands Game Reserve is home to many different lodges that all have something unique to offer. Some are luxurious, while others are simplistic and very affordable. The best part about Sabi Sands accommodation rates is the fact that all meals and safari activities are included.
