The popular wedding website The Knot is calling 2025 “the year of surprises,” because couples are projected to think outside the box even more than usual. If you’re also in the planning process, you may wish to consider some of these ideas for your big day:
- Balloon-festooned walls invite guests to pop one to win a prize
- “Aesthetic dress codes” that ask all guests to wear the same color
- Use fruit and veggies in place of flowers as venue and table décor
- Consider serving fresh, farm-to-table cuisine at your reception
- Implement a curated beverage menu that includes exotic mocktails
- Opt for “paparazzi-style” photos and offbeat videos
- Add non-traditional activities like scavenger hunts and races to your agenda.
Not your cup of tea?
Trends, fads, and gimmicks are all well and good, but for couples whose love story needs no bells and whistles to enhance this meaningful event, there’s another huge trend not mentioned in this article: Prioritize simplicity and spend more money on the honeymoon than on a splashy event. If that describes you two, you’re likely to get a big, early wedding present that beats the most lavish spectacle: Zero stress.
Once you’ve abandoned thoughts of a complicated affair, turn your attention to a relaxing getaway that cements your new bond properly. Honeymooners recommend a private, adults-only Belize island for the ideal retreat: Coco Plum Island Resort. This English-speaking nation is so close to North America, that it takes only a few hours for a honeymoon to begin, and by saying yes to an all inclusive package, your visit will start out on the perfect note.
After wisely taking a pass on that elaborate affair…
…you two can easily afford Coco Plum extras that morph an ordinary getaway into an unforgettable, memory-filled experience. Since your package covers the basics, consider these fabulous extras to customize your honeymoon:
- Tack Coco Plum’s affordable “Honeymoon and Romance” add-on to your booking
- Explore free, island-based activities that include kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and piloting a small Hobie Cat
- Select adventures you most love to share from the resort’s eclectic tour menu
- Book a couples’ massage at the Serenity Spa
- Wander the beach, order room service, and find out how it feels to snuggle within a beautifully appointed cabana so far from other guests, you’ll feel like the only couple on the island.
