Two years ago, Bryan and I had the privilege of staying at Secrets Maroma and ever since, we’ve been HUGE fans! We even convinced some of our friends to go to Secrets for their honeymoon, which they LOVED and in turn, sent another set of friends (and the list continues!!!). So of course we are beyond beyond excited to see that the new Secrets Playa Mujeres Resort & Spa is set to open in November 15, located in beautiful Playa Mujeres, and situated on a gorgeous stretch of white sandy beachfront in an idyllic location just minutes north of downtown Cancun.

This brand new, adults-only, all-suite resort boasting spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea from most of the 424 suites, as well as ground floor suites with direct swim-out access to a pool from a private terrace. Secrets Playa Mujeres Resort & Spa is Unlimited-Luxury® Inclusion, which means that your stay comes with complimentary breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks each day, including unlimited international and domestic top-shelf spirits, 24 hour room service, pool and beach wait service, endless daytime activities, green fees, and even live nightly entertainment, oceanfront bars and entertainment venues.

To celebrate the opening of Secrets Playa Mujeres, a special introductory offer is being offered now through April 28, 2014. Reserve your stay now for travel from December 1, 2014 through December 1, 2015 for special rates starting at just $147 per person per night.

Additional Secrets Resorts & Spas can be found in Mexico: Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Huatulco, Riviera Cancun, Cancun, Cozumel; Dominican Republic: Punta Cana; Jamaica: Montego Bay

We’ve recently been introduced to Paradisus Resorts and it’s already got us thinking about our next honeymoon getaway. (Can all future trips as husband and wife be referred to as a honeymoon getaway? I’d like to think so.) With locations in both Cancun and Playa del Carmen, they are the perfect place to consider for a one-stop destination wedding and honeymoon!

Paradisus starts with their offer to help you plan your entire wedding! Packages include coordination, custom design, and even help with documentation to make you an official Mr. and Mrs. One of the perks I absolutely love is that you can visit the location prior to the wedding with your fella, and the value of your stay can be credited toward your wedding! Plus, you get 15% off all spa packages, so a couple’s massage would be the perfect way to de-stress from planning! In addition to all that, honeymoon and anniversary specials are available so you can sip champagne, be pampered, and enjoy your time celebrating as husband and wife.

Whether you love the idea of Cancun or Playa del Carmen, Paradisus is an absolute dream Mexico wedding and honeymoon destination!

On top of all that, you can actually book your trip, wedding, and honeymoon through Apple Vacations, who will take care of your travel arrangements, and will put you in touch with an experienced wedding planner to coordinate the day of your dreams. They offer a Group-Ease program, featuring promo-code discounts for groups as small as ten guests! Book 10 or more rooms, and get airfare credits on exclusive vacation flights and a free hotel stay. An absolute win-win if you are planning a destination wedding!

After the most incredible wedding a girl could dream of, Bryan and I are whisking off to St. Lucia on a honeymoon planned by Katie of Ever After Honeymoons. While we’re gone, we have tons of gorgeous weddings and inspiration to tide you over, and when I’m back, I’ll be working on my firsthand tips for you brides! But before we jump on the plane, I thought I’d share with you a little about our honeymoon. First up, Katie put together a packing list for me. I die. All of it. Get in my suitcase:

From Katie:

St. Lucia is full of activities for both the adventure seeker and the beach lounger!  That means when packing it’s important to think ahead about the types of activities you and your new spouse are choosing to do while there.  There will be days you’re in athletic shoes and running shorts for ziplining or hiking and other days where you won’t get out of your swimsuit until you head to dinner!  No matter what she’s doing, we all know that Summer will look fashionable so I pulled some packing essentials from some of her faves: J. Crew, Madewell, and Kate Spade.  The island has a laid back vibe so summer staples such as bright colors, nautical stripes, and strappy sandals will be your best bet.  Don’t forget your cute sunnies, a small clutch, and your iPad or reader filled with magazines and lazy day materials (all in a cute Kate Spade case of course)!

Our first stop on the island of St. Lucia will be Cap Maison, where we’ll be staying for three nights. This boutique hotel features many suites with private rooftop decks and pools, fabulous amenities, and five star service (so pretty much everything a honeymooner could dream of!).

Our next stop is Body Holiday, an all inclusive resort that includes all your food and drink, a spa treatment every day (SERIOUSLY?), and even includes activities like yoga, sailing lessons, water skiing, golf, and tennis. I could NOT be more excited about the adventures and relaxation in store.

Last but not least is Jade Mountain. The images truly speak for themselves, but this place is absolutely majestic. The resort is built into the mountain and each room features incredible views, private infinity pools, and only three walls–creating the feeling that you are floating above the island and at one with nature. How incredible and absolutely romantic.

There’s a slight possibility that we won’t come back.
