Spring is a very popular time of year to get married, which means that a lot of couples find themselves jetting off on honeymoons on the other side of the world where it happens to be autumn. It might not be the intense summer that sun-seeking honeymooners want, but don’t be so quick to brush aside the season. Autumn brings out cooler temperatures with enough warmth in the air, fewer tourists, and a gorgeous colour scheme.
So take a look at these stunning destinations and get planning!
