Packing for the honeymoon is often stressful. Brides need to remember the honeymoon is to relax and have some alone time with your new spouse. Impress by showing how laid back you are, not by how many shoes you can pack. Neutrals are a great way to go. Especially with a tropical destination, your tan will be the eye catcher, rather than the colors on your dress. Pack as few shoes as possible. Typically, one black and one tan will match about anything. Taking a simple skirt with multiple tops can cut down on packing. Have you been in the gym for months getting your body wedding day ready? If so, don't be afraid to go with ittsy bittsy and teeny weeny for a bathing suit. If your not comfortable with that, pick a great monokini. There are many flattering, modest options on the market now. Don't forget to pack a great pair of sunglasses. Ray Ban Wayfarer's or aviators are both timeless choices. Target also has fabulous shades for smaller price tag. Leave your heavy make up at home. A sun-kissed face with some mascara and lip gloss are the sexiest way to go on your honeymoon.
