Mini-moons are no longer just the time-poor couple’s answer to a traditional honeymoon.
Instead mini-moons are a steadily growing trend for busy newly-weds who are looking to take a short (albeit no less luxury) honeymoon immediately after their wedding, followed by a longer (often long-haul / multi-destination) trip later in the year.
Doing it this way you have the obvious advantage of getting 2 honeymoons, but it also means professional couples can take more time off work before their wedding - without having to cut short their 'proper' honeymoon.
*Plus post-wedding blues are real. And this way you literally get to extend your honeymoon period for up to 1 whole year.
Here are 4 inspiring options for couples looking for a magical and memorable mini-moon in Europe:
Whether you’re discovering a new favourite city or visiting a place that’s already special to you both, the romantic city break is a great post-wedding treat.
For classic glamour and must-see sights, make your way to Venice. Venice is a city that boasts world-famous romantic attractions – explore St. Mark’s Square, take a gondola ride for two under the bridge of sighs, share unforgettable romantic dinners with views of the Grand Canal by night.
Other favourite mini-moon city experiences in Europe include people-watching in a Parisian café, sharing an ice-cold gelato as you walk through the historic centre of Rome, Edinburgh at festival time, or Lisbon for understated elegance.
Simply pick your favourite European city and make it a mini-moon of intrigue and indulgence!

5 RECOMMENDED DESTINATIONS & EXPERIENCES FOR AN ACTIVE MINI-MOON IN EUROPE:
The run-up to your wedding can be a stressful time.
Flowers, cakes, the dress, the guests… there’s so much to think about and lots of work to be done!
When the big day is over, you may understandably decide you want a mini-moon dedicated to complete relaxation, and opt to take sanctuary for a few days in a luxury spa.
If time is limited, a short wellness break in gorgeous surroundings can be the perfect solution. Think couples massages and pampering therapies with sunrise yoga and evening chill-out sessions. (N.B. This is your honeymoon so you're looking for an experience inspiring romance, reflection and relaxation... not a juice detox!!)
This is a mini-moon that’s all about nurturing your total wellbeing and reconnecting with each other.
