Are You Prepared For Your Honeymoon?

Preparing for the Honeymoon: Honeymoon Fashion Tips

By Sherly A. Mendoza

Aside from the wedding ceremony itself, the honeymoon is one of the most awaited parts of a couple's new journey in life. Couples spend a lot of time and money just to make sure that they choose the perfect honeymoon location. For some, spending their first days together as husband and wife means honeymooning in their favorite island. For others, spending some nights in a posh hotel is enough. No matter where one chooses to honeymoon, though, one thing is almost always taken for granted: the wardrobe.

Even if honeymooning couples normally spend most of their time by themselves, looking good is still important. This is tantamount to feeling good and confident about one's self. If you are getting married soon and are in the middle of finalizing honeymoon plans, it will do you a lot of good to check out the fashion tips that follow.

Summer Honeymoon

- If comfort is more important than fashion for you, your honeymoon wardrobe should consist mostly of cottony outfits. This is especially true if your honeymoon falls in the middle of the summer season. Cotton is a very breathable material, so it is the most comfortable. You'll find a lot of fashionable clothes made of cotton. There are sleeveless summer dresses for the young bride; and cotton shirts for men. Choosing the right color is essential; go for light shades as dark colors tend to attract heat.

- A summer honeymoon means plenty of time in the beach. This means that you should prepare as many swimwear as you can. Bright colors are perfect for beach wear of any type: bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, men's swimming outfits, board shorts and even maxi dresses, colorful sarongs and cover ups. Bring more than one swimwear so that you won't have to wear the same one everyday. Part of your summer honeymoon fashion are your sunscreen lotions and lip balm.

Sleepwear

- Whether your honeymoon is in the summer season or not, bringing the right kind of sleepwear is important. Brides should go for lacy lingerie or nighties. And yes, the groom should go for funky boxers even if sleepwear is only for the bedroom. This does a lot in creating the right honeymoon ambiance.

- Cover up a little more when honeymooning in the winter season. But choose styles that are still fashionable.

Cold Weather Fashion

- If your first romantic outing as husband and wife takes place in the colder parts of the year, it is best to prepare a sweater, jacket or sweatshirt. Winter honeymooners, especially those who plan to spend their time in a ski resort, should bundle up in the right outfit, from the head gear down to their footwear. Look for coordinated outfits like winter jackets (preferably hooded), ear muffs, winter pants and boots. Of course, it is important to go for clothes that you feel most comfortable in; otherwise, you won't be able to move around too much.

Footwear

- For the summer season, it is best to prepare two sets of footwear: a pair of beach slippers and elegant sandals that you can use for fancy dinner dates. Men should go for slipper-sandals that they can wear on the beach, as well as simple dress shoes for romantic dinners. Go for boots for colder weather. And just in case the hotel or resort you are going to stay in does not have one, bring a pair of bedroom slippers.

Extra Stuff

- Lastly, it is up to you if you want to bring hats as these can be especially useful in protecting yourself from the sun. There are hats and hoodies that are perfect for the windy and wintry season.

The best thing to remember when preparing your honeymoon wardrobe up is comfort. No matter how fashionable or expensive your outfits are, if you are not comfortable with what you are wearing, you won't look good in it. Confidence is a big factor in looking and feeling good - whether you're honeymooning or just hanging out with your spouse.

Any time is a good time for a drive.

Long drives in the country are amazing and a great way for couples to communicate. Don't have a specific place picked out just get out and drive. If you are nervous about getting lost then take your GPS. Don't use the GPS unit until ready to go home. Fill your tank up and just head out making turns and looking for interesting things to do or see. Find a place to pull off and talk or take in some beautiful scenery while holding each other in your arms. Some of the most amazing times you will ever have are simply anyplace the two of you can be alone. So start seeking out these places on these wonderful drives.

Do something to get your lovers attention.

Today is a great day to do something to get your lovers attention. Well everyday is a good day for this, but today we are going to do it a little more wild. We are going to make them have to touch you in places that we hope will spark a little more intimate touching later. What you need to do is get a personal item of theirs that you know they will need. Such as their car keys, purse, or even the clothes they are getting ready to put on are good items to start with. Next you are going to place these items near a place on your body that would be a little more intimate to touch. For instance you could have the remote to the television tucked between your legs near you crotch area. Then when they need the item make them come and get it. When their hand reaches for the item make sure to move so that they have to touch you in the intimate area and see how they react to that. Men you can put things in your front pockets and make your partner dig for the item hopefully hitting all the right areas. Ladies you can put money in your bra for when you partner asks for a little cash, go ahead and let them search around your bra for it. Hold thing behind your back and make them have to reach around you to get it then wrap them up in a hug as they do. The possibilities are endless to be creative like the picture above you might be able to get your partner to switch their beer to buttwiser. Sorry couldn't resist the joke. Have fun and get it on.

Get up early

We all claim that there is not enough time in the day to get things done and have time for our relationships. Well you can help that out by getting up a little earlier on the weekend days. Sneak out of bed early and start getting things done so that you will have time later for your partner. Laundry, dishes, and cleaning can get done at anytime of the day so why not make it in the morning and get them out of the way. Nothing says you care more then going out of your way to make more time for you partner. Love is the most important thing to make time for, that is a wonderful rule to follow.

Make a fun drink on a hot day.

The weather is hot right now here where we live. This makes it hard to stay cool let alone want to snuggle down. The two of you can beat the heat a little by making a fun drink using ice cubes and whatever fruit you like. Just grab a blender and take turns picking fruits to put in the blender as some ice and blend away. This will make you a fruit slushy that is sure to cool you down a little bit. Make silly combinations like blueberries and bananas, or strawberries and peaches. It doesn't matter what you put in the drink as long as it is cool it will quench your thirst and help relax you. Check out the store for some crazy fruits to try like papaya or starfruit. Heck if you have the time try out several different combinations. If you of legal drinking age you could even add a little rum to make it a little more festive. What ever you choose I am sure it will help keep you cool on these dog days of summer.

The good morning kiss

So often in our rush to get up for work and get ready we miss on of the most special times of the day. The good morning kiss, is an action that can turn the day around right from the start. It is not a passionate kiss but a little peck on the lips or check. The good morning kiss, gives us the feeling of love right from the start of the day. When we feel loved, we are more confident and passionate about everything we do. Now the next time the alarm wakes you to confront your day, make sure to lean over and kiss the person that brings love into your life. Not only will it start your day of by doing something nice but it might just make your partners day a great one.

Get out of your comfort zone.

We all have our normal routine that we go through day in and day out. We do the same things enjoy the same hobbies over and over. Why, because they are comfortable to us, we know we like them and it is easy to pick something to do when we know we like it. Well in the business of romance we need to think a little differently, because different is romantic. Get out of the comfort zone and pick something a little different to try on a date, just for fun or when you need a boost spicing up your life. We recently discovered geocaching and at first we felt really silly looking around place for little hidden boxes, but know we love it. Our next adventure is going to be laughter yoga, and I want to try going on a volunteer vacation. These thing are not our normal thing but who knows just like our geocaching they might become our normal thing as we get into it. To me romance it experiencing things with the person you love, and the more you experience the more memories you make but the more romance you have.

Do you touch each other while you sleep?

I an curious about how much people touch while they are asleep. I am a huge fan of touching and the comfort of it while I sleep. However, my partner isn't so we battle back and forth on the subject. She tries to touch and times I try not to but I think that maybe it is each individuals make up. We all know that touch is important in our daily lives studies have shown the touch is a very positive thing to us. But is it when we are sleeping? I would love to see a study done on this topic and see what the conclusions are. Chime in yourself and let me know how you feel about touching during sleep. Is it a comfort or a annoyance to you? Does it help you sleep or does it keep waking you up? Lastly, how do you touch during sleep stages, are your arms around on another, head on chest, or do you feet touch? I am curious and would love for you to send me your feelings on this subject to thecouplesspot@gmail.com Now go get some sleep.

The slightest touch can mean so much.

Touch is one of the things that most people desire. We want to feel that warmth of another human being putting their hands on us. The touch of a child is also very therapeutic with in their innocents. Even the slightest touches can mean so much to your partner. Think about how comforting the simplest of touches can be. When you touch feet in bed at night says I am here for you. The touches that just happen without warning like when you just brush each other as you pass. The soft caress on your arm as you are sitting together. The tingles that are sent up and down your body with the excitement of these touches is a joy that everyone should feel. Brushing away your partners hair as you look in their eyes or even just the touch of when you have to get something in front of them, says so much in a relationship. You hands are a wonderful tool for showing and expressing your love, so touch and enjoy.

Watching other relationships around you fail!

All of us know of other relationships that fail for one reason or another. It can be disheartening when a couple you know and have a relationship with decides to end their relationship. You almost feel cheated by them ending it. Especially when it is what you see as a great couple. You lose heart in your own relationship thinking will ours end like that? First of all you can't let other relationship dictate what you do in your relationship or make you act differently. All relationships can end in disaster or they can be the strongest one ever. That my friend is up to the two of you.!!

How important is your relationship?

Do you spend time evaluating your relationship, deciding what areas need more work and if you are meeting the needs of your partner. Just like anything else in our life we sometimes lose focus on things that are important to us. You see it in the work place as you get bored with your job, and you see it in activities that you lose excitement for over time. Don't let this happen to your relationship. Sit down and think or write out what areas of your relationship need work. You can do this alone or with your partner, so that you get both sides of the relationship. When both of your work on this you actually get to see what areas your partner feels needs work, and that might be a totally different area then you thought about. When you do this it is important not to down grade your partners concerns, if they say that the two of you don't have enough dates then don't respond with "Yes we do" or "That's silly we just had a date last week" You have to realize that your partner wouldn't speak of it unless it was an issue to them. If you are not willing to work on the concerns your partner has about your relationship then you will find your relationship turning sour at some point. No matter what their issue is your need to put some effort into that area and vice versa he/she needs to put some focus into yours. With a little practice you will quickly learn to address areas of concern before they get to large to make a quick fix on them.

Take turns undressing each other.

There is an art to getting undressed for your partner, but it is even more fun and exciting to let your partner undress you. This can be the start of foreplay if you take turns undressing each other. Go back and forth let each other take off one piece of clothing then let your partner do the same to you. Go slow this is not a race, sometimes it is fun to rip his/hers clothes off but this time I want you to take your time. Enjoy each and every part of your lovers body that you expose. Try to give them cold chills with the removal of each item. The anticipation and excitement will build to a very high level as you get them closer and closer to being naked. Make it a game if you want, play strip poker with the other person getting to remove your clothes and throw them on the table. Use your hand to explore each and every inch of their skin with light and delicate touches. I am sure this suggestion will have you more then ready to proceed with intimacy after the clothes are gone. Make it last set a time limit like you can only remove a piece of clothing every two minutes and you have to continue to massage or touch the area the last piece of clothing was removed for the remainder of the time. You can also do this in front of a mirror for a little added effect. Last but not least enjoy getting each other naked it should be fun.

Dress up like a favorite characters to add a little excitement to your romance.

We all have are fantasy, we would love to act out. Dressing up for a little role play may seem a little difficult for some people. They are nervous about what to dress up as or if it will be perceived as perverted or not. First of all nothing you find exciting is perverted it is your preference. Second dressing up can be as easy as watching a movie. You can pick something that you really like or if you are observant watch your partners reactions and see what they really like. Movie characters often give us fantasy from the start so you can use that to build your own fantasies on. For instance the other night we watched Night at the Museum 2 and I personally couldn't take my eyes off the rear end of the young lady playing Ameila Earhart the pants she wore really drew attention to her butt. I pictured by partner wearing such pants and us having a little Ameila Earhart fantasy. I made some hints to my partner so maybe one of these day Ameila Earhart will bring her sexy little pilot pants into my life. I have heard several movie fantasies that people have from Princess Lea in Star Wars to Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Don't be afraid to share these fantasies with your partner as they most likely have some of their own. You can take turns acting them out and portraying your favorite characters.

Having fun together.

Romance is what it is, but where does it start? You don't just become romantic with someone you just met, that would seem a little stalkerish. If you started serenading them outside their window after the first date, you most likely wouldn't get a second date. So how do you get to the point where you can be romantic? Well it all starts with having fun together. A bond forms when you enjoy being together and doing things together. Think back to any relationship you ever were in, and you will see that you had fun together first then became more romantically involved. I think we lose sight of that sometime and forget to have fun together. We just want to jump to the romantic part and in doing so we miss the foundation for a great relationship. Sure the foundation is put down first in a house but what would happen if you removed the foundation after the house was built? The house would crumble into the ground. Think about that in terms of your relationship. To have a solid and sturdy relationship the two of you have to be able to enjoy each other in a fun way.

Find relaxing activities to do together

With our lives so hectic and crazy sometimes we need to slow it down a bit and doing that with a partner is a great way to unwind. Find some activities that take stress out of your life. A lazy day spend fishing or laying on a blanket in the park are great ways just to be together and relax. The possibilities are endless things like reading, biking, walks and laying on the beach are great ways to spend time together without stress. To many times we just are rushing past each other on our way to work or other functions that we sometimes don't get to spend the quality time with each other. Finding these activities might not just help us unwind but it might just help us improve our relationships.

Time to practice your touching.

This is the time of year of extra clothing and not much skin showing. Which also means that you don't touch each other as much, at least on the skin as you do during the warmer months of the year. With this said you have to take full advantage of touching when you get a chance. Whenever you snuggle up together under a blanket make sure to find your partners skin and caress it (make sure you hands are warm, first) Make it a point to give each other massages and use lotion to chase away dry skin that is ever present during this time of year. Make sure to touch areas of their skin that is exposed even it is not a normal place you touch, places like the face or ankles give a deeper meaning to touch.

Touch is an important part of our relationships. It keeps us close to our partner it gives us that feeling of confidence and empowerment in the fact that someone cares about us.

Get excited about the gifts you are giving.

Do you have a special gift you are giving your partner for this Christmas? If so you need to get excited about it so that you can build up the anticipation of the person you are giving it to. Hold it up for them to see and tell them how you can't wait to see them open it on Christmas day. Show you excitement to give it to them, it is contagious. Sparking that anticipation in your partner will make them more excited as the big day gets closer. You might find them shaking the present some time or studying it's shape and size. The anticipation is what makes Christmas so exciting, think back to waiting for Santa to come when you were younger and running down the stairs on Christmas morning. What was it that drove you then? It was the anticipation so use this feeling to increase the romance at Christmas time.

Have your own little Thanksgiving for the two of you.

If your like us, you spend your Thanksgiving going from one partners parents to the next. Eating and roaming the country side. While I am not in the least bit saying you should skip these family gatherings, I am suggesting you make your own little Thanksgiving dinner on the night before or after. Pick on of the nights and make a little dinner for the two of you, heck you can even use left overs if you brought some home. You could also make a specific dish for the two of you to enjoy this time of year. Sit around and tell each other why you are thankful for their being in your life and don't just say the big things, use the little ones to show how much you value them. Things like "I am so thankful when you get up a little earlier to let me sleep in" or "I am thankful that you pushed me to apply for my new job" Spread them out through out the whole day and retrace the entire year. Sure being thankful shouldn't happen just once a year but when the word is in the title of the day you can't help but make it a focal point.

Singing in the shower!

Nothing can brighten you morning then cutting loose with a great song in the shower. Not only will this help you get your day off to a good start but it might just help anyone that hears you. Okay so maybe your not the best singer, but hearing you in a good mood and having fun will entice others to do the same thing. Think of the smiles you will put on your partners face as they hear you tyring to sing a song in the shower. It might just make their day. By singing you create a magic wonderful place in the shower and who knows maybe you might just get some company to sing a duet with you. Some great songs for singing in the shower are "Splish Splash", "I love to feel the rain in the summer time", and "Singing in the rain" just to mention a few.
