Ahhh…your honeymoon…the sweet time in your life when you celebrate your love and its new official and legal status! What originated as a day based on Babylon’s calendar of moon cycles – when the bride’s father would give the groom honey beer – is now a tradition in which you take a romantic vacation with your new spouse. Honeymoons are not only time sensitive in terms of ideally going soon after the wedding, but they’re also season sensitive. If you are getting married next Summer or Fall you are probably thinking about where to go on your honeymoon. So we’ve prepared a list of the Top 3 Fall Honeymoon Destinations, so you can be at the right place at the right time!
Top Fall Honeymoon Destinations
1. The Big Island of Hawaii

The Big Island of Hawaii is the ultimate paradise all year round – although fall seasons are better than the others. Being a popular tropical destination for family holidays, fall months offer maximum privacy when most children are in school. Sip on piña coladas and mai tais as you lose your worries in the sand adorned in local flowers and go for a dip with your spouse, or take a helicopter tour over Mauna Kea (the highest peak in the state), or even the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park if you’re feeling adventurous. They say it’s ‘heaven on earth’ for reasons, and you and your beau need to experience them for yourself! The Big Island is definitely top on the list for fall honeymoon destinations!
2. Napa Valley

Thinned summer crowds, “crush time” for the harvested grapes and endless vineyards and apple orchards – it is no surprise why this is one of the best post fall wedding destinations. A sweet spot between the rustic charm of hands-on activities and luxurious resorts, there is something for everyone. Do check out the wooden bridges and balloon rides for a bird’s eye view. Even better than just spending the honeymoon here, say “I do” at a hillside resort and continue living in and making the magic in the days following the big day!
3. Morocco

This one is for those wanting to step out to other parts of the world. Fall in Morocco is a honeymooner’s oasis. Take a private tour of the desert, a romantic trek up the mountains, and explore the Mediterranean & Atlantic coasts and Roman ruins; the strategically located Morocco offers the best of not just two, but three worlds! Rich in culture, experiencing the palette of Mediterranean infrastructure and cuisine is on the bucket list of many. And once the day’s activities are done, whisk off to a luxurious and tranquil hotel surrounded with lush greens and marble and fountains and flowers – this dreamy honeymoon destination is worth including in your wedding budget!
We don’t blame you if reading this list made you want to reconsider your honeymoon destination! However, always remember that the best honeymoons are those filled with quality time with your new spouse. In the midst of your wedding & honeymoon planning, don’t forget a top priority after your big day – to preserve your wedding gown!
Be sure to arrange for the preservation of your wedding dress in advance with the Affordable Preservation Company – so you can enjoy your getaway and come back to your wedding dress cleaned, safeguarded and ready to be stored away. Until next time. Happy Honeymooning!
