Honeymoons are an exciting time – it’s your first official getaway as husband and wife. The thing is, you’re probably so busy organising the intricate details of the wedding that you’ve forgotten all about your luggage preparation, or you’ve been receiving online deliveries for six months straight and now you’re stuck with too many things.
Whether you’re headed to the all-white, blue-domed Santorini, or you’re jet-setting across the French Riviera, we’ve compiled the ultimate checklist for your honeymoon wardrobe. We’re good like that.
Everyone’s talking about how their weddings were a reflection of their personalities, from customised place-cards and bombonieres to cufflinks and seat maps. So why not extend the personalisation to the honeymoon suitcase? Plus, its a keepsake for the holidays to come.

As much as we love and admire your glamorous honeymoon makeup and crochet sundresses, practicality is key, people. You definitely need a backpack for your all-day activities to carry the necessities.

Whether you’re enjoying a Winter getaway in New York or Sunbathing on Bali’s shores, head-wear is important, ladies – we’re talking beanies and sunhats, respectively. Not only are they appropriate for the weather, but they make a fashion statement too.

Whether your style is OTT or understated, taking a pair of earrings that compliment your look is a great way to accessorise on your honeymoon and complete your outfit. You can switch through different pairs depending on what you’re wearing, and they won’t get in the way of your itinerary like a dangling bracelet or heavy choker might.

Swimwear is a must when you’re honeymooning! We recommend a couple cozzies to get you through all the pool/beach-side life, depending on what type of girl you are. Plus, nothing says bridal like a white rashie from Une Piece. Maybe a kaftan on top for those Instagram photos. Yep, we’re looking out for you.

Again this depends on the weather – the sundress equivalent in Winter is your favourite coat or trench! A floral print with your signature sunnies and earrings is perfection on your honeymoon.

Any of these bottoms paired with your favourite shirt really ups the ante on a classic jeans and t-shirt look, which is exactly the holiday style you should be going for. Plus, they’re way more comfortable than jeans which is a win-win.

You need at least one evening outfit for those fancy dinner nights, period. You can be creative with this one depending on your personal flare! You might go for classic denim with pumps, an embellished pantsuit or an off-the-shoulder floor-length dress with a statement accessory.
Sneakers.Thongs.Espadriles.Sandals.Heels. One of each is plenty.
Winter edit: boots! One ankle length and OTK.
Makeup is completely subjective when it comes to brides. Some prefer a fresh-face and others like a daily contour. Whichever you are, be sure to pack all your products along with sunscreen, insect repellent, important medication and remover wipes.
Slash time off your makeup routine and stop fighting with the lash curler. Lash lifts are perfect for that natural enhancement to give more definition to your eyes. What’s more? They’re not irritating or invasive and you can coat your lashes with mascara whenever you like!

We all want that Colgate commercial style and now you can get one! Why not don some pearly whites as a newlywed on your honeymoon? We love the idea and we love Sparkling White Smile‘s results even more. Of all the things we’ve told you to pack, a smile is truly the most beautiful thing you can wear on your honeymoon! Cheesy, but fact.
