The Top 7 Honeymoon Trends in 2023

2/17/2023

0 Comments

 
It's no secret, that for many people the honeymoon is the most exciting part of their wedding. If you're planning your wedding in the near future, you'll want to check out this list of the top 7 honeymoon trends for 2023. These top trends will give you a good idea of what the future of “honeymooning” will look like in 2023 and beyond!

1. Planning earlier than before:
Planning your honeymoon earlier
Make sure you plan your honeymoon earlier
Before the pandemic, it was customary for a couple to book their honeymoon around 6 months out, but as the world has opened up again, many couples are doing what I call “revenge travel!” for all of the lost and postponed trips couples have had to deal with these last two years. In 2023 there will be higher demand and lower inventory, which also drives up prices.

BOTTOM LINE: The sooner you can discover the destination & resort you want for your honeymoon, and book it, the better!
 
2. Premium on Service:
Candle light dinner on the beach
Choose a romantic candle light dinner
In 2023, couples will be putting a premium on pampering, luxury, and service. They are looking for great value. Not a low price, but a honeymoon that includes extra touches of service, [link to June 2022 Content Hero Post on top honeymoon packages or similar post on honeymoon packages] such as a private airport shuttle, having a butler welcome you with a refreshing drink and moist towel, and then entering your honeymoon suite to see a chilled bottle of champagne, with gourmet snacks waiting for you as you enter your honeymoon suite.
 
3. Bucket List Stays & Experiences:
Honeymoon in paradise

In 2023 couples are looking to do a “bucket list” experience for their honeymoon. More and more couples are expecting their honeymoon to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, (you can check my previous blog about how much it actually cost to go on a luxury honeymoon), including staying in an over-the-water bungalow, a luxury honeymoon suite, or even renting a private yacht. Many couples now want their honeymoon to include some type of archaeological tour or visit to historical landmarks or cities.

PRO TIP: If you don’t quite have the budget for a full 7 or 14-night stay in an over-the-water bungalow, then I always suggest to my clients doing a split stay. Maybe start your honeymoon off with a bang at the more expensive “WOW” factor room, and then finish your honeymoon in a room that allows your whole honeymoon to fit your budget.
 
4. Group Moons!

Have fun with your friends in your honeymoon
No, this isn’t a honeymoon for swingers, but many couples who had to postpone their weddings or honeymoons during the pandemic want to make up for the missed opportunities to travel, as well as now being new parents. They still want a big fun celebration, and therefore they are now bringing their closest family and friends to join them to celebrate with them on their honeymoon.
 
5. Focus on Health & Wellness:
Fresh ingredients
Enjoy farm to table meals
Many couples will be planning their honeymoon with a focus on rejuvenating both mind & body. These honeymoons will include an itinerary of farm-to-table food experiences, eating at local fresh food restaurants & markets, as well as pampering spa treatments, sunrise yoga sessions, meditations, and activities that promote all-around health and vitality.
 
6. Honeymoon Registries:

Let your family and friends contribute to your honeymoon
With rising inflation, and couples looking to have an above-average honeymoon experience, many couples will create a honeymoon registry or fund that their family and friends can give as a wedding gift to help them pay for their dream honeymoon.
 
7. Consulting with a Honeymoon Consultant

In 2023, couples will consult and hire a honeymoon specialist to help them make sure they are getting everything they want and the maximum value out of their honeymoon. Couples are busier than ever before as they work, start their family, buy a new home, and try to fit in time for each other, all while trying to plan their wedding. It’s worth the investment to spend a little extra to get their honeymoon planned right, and take the stress & frustration of planning the perfect honeymoon off of their plate!
 
Clearly, in 2023, you will have more honeymoon options at your fingertips than ever before. A suggestion to future wedding couples everywhere is to consider some of these trends without sacrificing what’s ultimately important to you for a romantic and pampering honeymoon. These may be 2023 trends, but old-fashioned romance never goes out of style!
