Here at Luxe + Wander Travel Co. we see a lot of brides and I do mean A LOT! We have been in Bridal Show season and have had the opportunity to touch base with over 1,000 brides in January as they are busy trying to prepare for their weddings and honeymoons! They spoke and we listened! Here are the Top 5 Hottest Destinations for Honeymoons and Anniversaries for 2020! And as we all know every bride wants something a little bit different…
EUROPE - “The Bucket Lister“
When we started in the Wedding biz most everything was all about the Caribbean, but the 2020 bride isn’t always looking for a beach getaway! She is wanting to see the world and she wants to see it all! She wants to start in Europe where the new couple can take the rail together seeing as many countries as possible … France, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Croatia and even Spain. There is no stopping this bride, she wants to celebrate her nuptials with history, cultural and delights in the food and wine scene. This is where we come in, we meet briefly with each bride and find out what is most important to them and their fiance to make sure we stick with the budget and still meet their preferences curating an experience is seamless from start to finish. Friendly to budgets $5-10K
2. St.Lucia - “The Adventurer”
St. Lucia is a complete classic honeymoon destination, perfect for those couples looking to relax and seek adventure. St. Lucia offers the beaches, rain forests, lush cocoa plantations, the iconic Pitons, volcanoes and waterfalls nestled in the jungle. Truly something for everyone! Our honeymooners have loved staying at Sandals Grand St. Lucian in Rodney Bay for its fabulous beach and lively atmosphere, nestled right next door Pigeon Island where you can hike to the peak for amazing views. If you are looking for something a little more exclusive, celebrity honeymooners love Jade Mountain for it’s open air luxury suites and 180 degrees piton views. Friendly to budgets $6k and beyond!

Our motto is, “If we are doing this, we are doing it right” if you want over-the-water bungalows in the south Pacific we think you should get just that!
