Whether you are choosing classic european honeymoon packages or looking for far flung honeymoon destinations, you may want to consider a brief honeymoon in the UK immediately after your wedding - an option so popular that there is now a term for it, a "mini moon". To add to the booming honeymoon market in the UK, largely due to couples keen to cut out the cost of overseas flights, ‘Mini-mooning’, a new word for the wedding dictionary, is becoming an increasingly popular trend. The traditional honeymoon is being put on hold and replaced by a short break away, normally a couple of days, straight after the wedding. This gives newly weds more time to save up for a longer honeymoon when they will really appreciated it after the excitement of the wedding day has subsided.By putting off the main honeymoon, this also allows you to choose to honeymoon at the best time of year for your chosen destination. Why not take a look through our reviews and recommendations? Many couples opt for a honeymoon in the UK rather than starting their married life by casting a carbon footprint from overseas flights.

You will save a lot of money on not needing flights and all the costs that go with an overseas break, so perhaps can afford to splash out on a UK hotel. Your honeymoon will last longer too if you aren't having to waste a day at the start and end in an airport or on flights.
