Summer is drawing to a close and it’s time to get cosy with the chilly months approaching. For an autumn wedding, choose colours that portray warmth and reflect the beautiful rustic shades of the leaves falling off the trees. Tones of orange, gold and brown are perfect for an autumn wedding.

You put your heart and soul into planning every little detail for the big day- the flowers, the favours, the shoes that nobody will see under your floor-length dress. There’s a lot to take in, not to mention a lot to do, so it’s easy to forget what comes after- the honeymoon. Don’t leave it until the last minute to pack. Just picture the scene- a luscious Carribean beach, sipping cocktails in front of the sparkling ocean, your sexy new husband at your side… and you in that faded, threadbare swimsuit that hasn’t seen the light of day in five years. Nope, that just won’t do. So I have compiled a guide to the most stylish, most beautiful and most flattering honeymoon fashion out there.

Warm Climate
For those sun-seekers and beach lovers jetting off to warmer lands, your priority is probably looking good on the beach. Whether you are a bikini babe or a one-piece wonder, look no further than Asos. They sell a massive range of swimsuits for all budgets and styles. This cherry print bikini (above) is not only cute as a button but bang on trend. With supportive underwiring and padding, it is hugely flattering, and the halterneck effect is a gorgeous detail. What’s more, at a bargain £24 you will have a lot more spending money for those souvenirs!

When the sun starts to dip and the evening chill sets in, cover up with a kaftan. Hugely chic, they are loose enough to stay cool in the relatively warm nights, yet prevent goosebumps from the sea air. This striking seventies boho style from Debenhams is not only flattering but versatile too- wear it on the beach or with some linen trousers for a laid-back evening look.

Of course, you won’t be spending all of your time on the beach. For those days where you feel a little more active, you will need some more practical clothes packed that will still keep you cool. Look no further than Next for a range of holiday essentials such as linen cropped trousers and vest tops in a range of colours so you can pick those that make you look your best. Starting at only £9, they won’t break the bank.

Cool Climate
It’s not all sun, sea and sand. Those couples heading out for a European city break in Winter or even a ski trip will need to pack something slightly warmer than a bikini and kaftan. The temperatures can get toe-tingling cold so don’t forget to pack a coat that will keep you snug, cosy and stunning. This beautiful tweed coat from Oli is currently on sale at £43.59 so you will have to hurry to pick up your own. The monochrome pattern is classicaly chic and the detachable fur collar will keep those biting winds off of your neck. The belt around the waist defines the waist to give you a gorgeous figure, even with a coat on.

As for the clothes under the coat, make sure to fill your suitcase to the brim with woolly jumpers. Marks and Spencer have a huge range of knitwear to cover all tastes, including this knitted jumper dress for £39.50. Very fashionable right now, this can be worn with thick woollen tights for a cosmopolitan look or with jeans for a more practical style. Either way, it will ensure you stay warm whilst looking good.

Don’t forget the accessories- hats, scarves and gloves will all keep you toasty as the temperature drops. Accessorize stock a huge range of cosy accessories so you are bound to find some perfect for your holiday. These heart print earmuffs at £16.50 are just too cute- perfect for a romantic honeymoon getaway.

It’s easy to find honeymoon fashion without spending a fortune. On your first holiday as man and wife, you want to look stylish without having to live on pasta for a month when you get home. Hunting around for the best clothes to suit your budget and figure will ensure you always look hot, no matter the temperature.

When it comes to buying wedding shoes, there are a whole wealth of questions a bride needs to ask herself. How high should the heel be? What style and colour of shoe will suit my dress? and maybe most importantly, how much shall I spend?

With my shoe-radar skills, I have hunted out some of the best bridal shoes for all budgets, and to suit all colour schemes. So now all you need to worry about is how long you can wear them for before reaching for the slippers!
