January may not be the most popular choice for vacationing but it’s becoming more popular in the wedding world for winter wonderland celebrations. In turn, that makes honeymoon planning a bit different. Choosing to travel throughout the winter months may seem tricky, but there are actually some incredible options!
Some of the best reasons to go throughout the month of January are the smaller price tags on resorts and airplane tickets. Because it’s off-season you’ll save money and popular destinations will be less crowded and could be even more enjoyable for you and your new spouse.
Below you’ll find 6 of the best spots to honeymoon throughout January and see if one strikes your fancy!
