With our wedding just over a month away I am getting pretty darn excited about our honeymoon! Two days after our wedding we're going to Antigua, and I can't wait! Neither of us have ever been to the Caribbean, and since it's finally starting to feel like winter around here a tropical getaway sounds perfect. I mean look at this, can you blame me? I can't wait to be on vacation with my husband (whoa, 'husband'!)!
Now, this brings up a very important wedding task: shopping for honeymoon clothes! I always like to do a little shopping before any vacation, a few new outfits for the honeymoon are a must in my opinion!
Swimsuits: I tend to buy a new bathing suit every summer, I can't help it! J. Crew is definitely a go-to spot for pretty swimsuits. I love their simple, but stylish suits.
I love this next swimsuit, a little reto & fun.
Hats: I have never been big on straw hats for just any old beach trip - but I feel like they seem just perfect and super chic for honeymoon beachwear!
Dresses: I am looking forward to our relaxing (and delicious!) dinners, maybe even one on the beach! Our resort has 11 restaurants, so obviously I'll need a few new summery dresses for these dinners. I love this striped maxi dress, it seems casual and very beach-appropriate.
I recently read an article here that says packing in a specific color scheme for your honeymoon makes things easy, so you can just mix and match most outfits. I thought it was a pretty good tip! I always like blue, so I might try to keep most items in the blue color family. Although a LBD couldn't hurt, and still matches everything!
And of course a cute cover-up (or two) is always fun. I like these two a lot.

Are you doing any honeymoon shopping? I would love to know where you're going on your honeymoon, and what you're packing!
