Adding Sugar and Spice on Your Honeymoon

After the busyness of the wedding celebration, the honeymoon offers a much-needed time to be alone with your new spouse. It’s a time to relax, explore a new area of the world, and of course, a time for intimacy with the one you have just pledged to be with for life. Here are 10 ideas to make your honeymoon even more romantic:

1. Before you leave home, purchase a book on the art of massage. Pack along some scented massage oil, study up on the plane and then treat each other to a sensuous and relaxing message after a long day of travel.
   
   
2. If your room has a private balcony and the area you traveled to is warm, bring the fireworks outside for a night. The sound of ocean waves and starry skies are the perfect backdrop for an extra romantic night. 
   
   
3. Place a number of votive candles in candleholders around your bedroom for a soft glow at night. In the bathroom, line your private Jacuzzi or jumbo-sized bathtub with a candle or two after the sun goes down. If it is just a bathtub, bring along scented bubble bath.
   
   
4. If you are honeymooning in a wooded area, plan a hike and an afternoon picnic with just you, your spouse and nature. Bring along a bottle of wine and glasses for a private toast to your new marriage.
   
   
5. Purchase a bouquet of flowers known for their powerful scents and place it next to your bed. Hyacinths or Gardenias will leave the room filled with a sweet smelling fragrance. Every time you smell the flowers again, it will remind you of your honeymoon. 
   
   
6. Before you leave, make a tape of your favorite love songs to play before and during bedtime. Record the first dance song at your reception as number one on the tape, and re-live that first dance all over again in the privacy of your bedroom.
   
   
7. Wear satin or silk to bed. 
   
   
8. Make a point each day to tell your spouse five things you love about him or her and have your spouse do the same for you. 
   
   
9. Order room service and set up a private, candle-lit dinner in your hotel room with light music playing in the background. Then, while the night is still young, watch a romantic movie in each other’s arms.
   
   
10. Come to bed wearing your spouse’s favorite perfume or cologne.
