Sweet SHORT BUT THE RISE OF THE MINI - MOON by Lisa Kahan W edding trends come and go, but there’s one that’s here to stay: the mini-moon. Short and sweet, these post-wedding escapes are the modern couple’s answer to maxed-out vacation days and stretched-tight budgets. This might sound like an unfortunate compromise, but not to worry, mini-moons offer newlyweds the best of both worlds: a relaxing post-nuptial getaway and the promise of a longer, more elaborate honeymoon to come. Limited to only a few days, mini-moons are all about spending time with your new spouse, and whether you check into a local hotel for a few nights or hop on a quick flight to the nearest beach, they can, and should be, wonderfully romantic. Think long walks, candlelight dinners and time together at the spa. Mini- moons may be short, but there’s still plenty of time to indulge! Your travel advisor can help you find the perfect destination, somewhere not too far, yet special enough to celebrate your nuptials in style. Just remember, wherever you go, turn off your phones and leave the to-do list at home.
