The Honeymoon You Actually Deserve: Luxury Eco Honeymoons & Destination Weddings

Christine Gordineer

Founder & Travel Curator

A more intentional, luxurious, and sustainable way to begin your life together.

There's a moment — somewhere between saying yes and saying I do — where everything begins to feel real.

The vision. The planning. The anticipation of a life you're about to step into together.

For me, that moment led to Bermuda — where I planned my own destination wedding.

It was beautiful. Intimate. Unforgettable.

And still… if I'm honest, I would do it differently today.

What No One Tells You About Destination Weddings

Planning a wedding abroad sounds like a dream — and it is.

But behind the scenes, I was navigating everything alone:

• Coordinating vendors across time zones
• Managing travel logistics for guests
• Trying to make every detail perfect
• Planning a honeymoon on top of it all

What I didn't realize at the time was this:

You're not meant to do this alone.

And more importantly — you deserve to enjoy this season of your life, not just manage it.

The Shift: From Overwhelm to Intention

Today, couples are choosing something different.

Not just weddings. Not just honeymoons. But experiences that reflect who they are.

That means:

• Choosing destinations that align with your values
• Prioritizing sustainability without sacrificing luxury
• Creating space for connection, wellness, and meaning

Because the way you begin matters.

Where Luxury Meets Conscious Travel

If you're dreaming of a destination that feels both elevated and intentional, these are some of the most extraordinary places to begin your next chapter:

Costa Rica — Where rainforest meets refined luxury. Think eco-lodges, private villas, and experiences designed around nature, adventure, and deep connection.

Amalfi Coast — Effortlessly romantic. Sun-drenched terraces, coastal views, and boutique stays that blend timeless elegance with sustainable practices.

Santorini — Iconic for a reason. Cliffside ceremonies, golden sunsets, and a slower pace that invites you to fully savor each moment.

Bali — A sanctuary for the soul. Wellness rituals, jungle escapes, and luxury rooted in spiritual and environmental harmony.

Zanzibar — For something truly unforgettable — pair a serene beach escape with a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.

What I'd Do Differently (So You Don't Have To)

If I could go back, here's exactly how I would approach it:

I would start with how I wanted to feel. Not just where I wanted to go.

I would invest in guidance. Not just bookings.

I would design the full experience. Not just the wedding day.

And most importantly…

I would give myself permission to be fully present.

The Details That Elevate Everything

Luxury isn't just where you go — it's how you experience it.

Even the smallest details matter: what you wear, how you pack, the pieces you bring with you. Inside my Shop Conscious Sustainable Travel Store, I've curated essentials that align with this philosophy:

• Ethically made resort wear
• Sustainable luggage and travel pieces
• Artisan accessories that support local communities

Because every choice you make can reflect intention.

Your Beginning, Reimagined
