Known for it's steep rolling hills, cable cars and as the home of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is sure to be at the top of many of your honeymoon destination wish lists. Which is why, when I was there recently teaching a workshop, I took copious notes on all the awesome things we did and saw for this blog post!Read more...

I wouldn't say Gareth and I were particularly impulsive. My diary is usually pretty booked solid these days, and in the rare times when it's not I spend most of my time glued to my computer screen, trying my hardest to power through my ever expanding 'to do' list. Gareth has also never, ever surprised me with a holiday before so its not something I'd ever expect him to do.Read more...

If there's one thing I've learnt from doing so much travel, its that packing the right things can make or break the flight. Even the longest journey in cramped economy can be much more bearable if you go into it prepared. I wouldn't dream of hopping onto a plane without any of these things now!Read more...

I've travelled to many a-far flung place over the past few years but I was really looking forward to last weekend's trip down to Camber Sands. The reason being that I was going there with these beautiful creatures, and we hadn't seen each other in FOREVER. It's the things closest to home that are often the most special don't you think?Read more...

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Palm Springs was visiting The Saguaro, the famous rainbow hotel. In fact our friends Allie and Christina booked in here just so we could stop by and take photos!Read more...

Planning your honeymoon can be just as difficult as planning the wedding itself, but it's also got to be up there with one of the best parts of the whole thing too. Kicking back and relaxing after a year or so of intense preparation is going to be pretty blissful, but how do you make sure you get your choice of honeymoon destination right?Read more...

One of my ultimate highlights of my trip to Queensland was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. It wasn't something that I ever thought I'd have the opportunity to experience and I nearly squealed with delight when I found out that it was on our itinerary.Read more...

When the initial email from Celeste at Tourism and Events Queensland came into The Blogcademy inbox asking us if we’d consider an all-expenses paid trip to Queensland I nearly deleted it, assuming it must be spam. I mean, this kind of opportunity doesn't exactly come knocking on your door everyday. After verifying that Celeste wasn't, in fact, just playing a rather cruel prank, we started to plan our epic adventure down under!Read more...

More couples than ever before are looking for alternative gift list ideas. Adding new pots and pans to a department store registry is about as exciting as it sounds, which is why so many newlyweds are opting to forgo the new linens and ask money towards getting started in their new married life or for something they've always wanted but could never afford.Read more...

I'm not going to pretend for one second that I'm some kind of expert in the world of travel or honeymoons. BUT you may have noticed that I've done rather a lot of globe-trotting over the past 12 months. And as we're about to launch our 2014 Blogcademy world tour in a couple of weeks it would appear that it's not really going to change any time soon! So I figured, why not share some of the places I've visited and the experiences I've most enjoyed with you lovely lot? First up is a honeymooners paradise - Santorini.Read more...

You might have guessed already, but 2013 is the year of travel for Rock n Roll Bride. I am scooting off to a scarily high number of far flung places all with The Blogcademy and I couldn't be more excited about it all. I can't wait to experience new things and have the time of my life doing it, all the while passing it off as work!Read more...

Earlier this month I went to lunch with one of my best and oldest friends, Katie. We've known each other for years, ever since we started skipping Sunday School together! Anyway, this lunch was extra special (and it wasn't just because we went to Wagamamas) because she told me she was getting married...in March! Yes in under 3 months time! Anyway one of the first things we got talking about (after the dress of course) was the wedding gift registry. She told me they'd decided to go for the cash registry option and wanted to know if I thought it was 'tacky' to ask for money over gifts. They already live together, but they want to have the honeymoon of their lives. So, instead of asking for toasters, dinnerwear and cushions, they're asking people to contribute as much as they feel comfortable with towards their dream trip. They've added small things from as little as £5.50 for a favourite cocktail, all the way to a few hundred pounds for flights. I thought it was a great idea! Who needs another throw cushion anyway!?Read more...

You might remember Tim & Merrill's self-engagement shoot (and here) or their ridiculously amazing wedding. If so, you'll be just as excited to see their 'Honeyversary' shoot as I was yesterday. The couple are photographers and have just been married over a year. As they moved to New York pretty much straight after their wedding they never had time for a honeymoon so they decided to take a trip to Palm Springs this month.Read more...

So you're almost ready to tie the knot and you're getting into that fun bit amongst all the stress where you decide what you want to do for your gift registry.
