wedding wednesday - the honeymoon!

when h and i got engaged in march we immediately discussed the honeymoon. we decided Paris + Amsterdam would be the perfect pair for our 10-day adventure. i spent a month in Paris back in college but i have been dying to go back ever since my study abroad visit ended. we bought our plane tickets to Paris a few months ago and then got distracted by "life" things...(a job change, condo and a trip to Spain). last week we started talking about our honeymoon again and researching our destination cities and hotels. after some research, Amsterdam's just didn't feel right. sure it looks like an awesome city and a somewhere to visit before we have kids... but not for our honeymoon. after some discussion and lots of wicki-travel page searches we discovered Prague! Paris + Prague --so different but both seem sooo dreamy. the perfect destinations for our honeymoon! now that we have the cities picked we are faced with the (exciting) task of plotting out our to-do's/to-see's. there are places i absolutely want to revisit while we're in paris (musee d'orsay, centre pompidou, versailles!) but i know there are other gorgeous sites and tasty restaurants we need to add to our travel plans. Praugue will be a brand-new adventure for both of us.

Prague is amazing (although so is Amsterdam)! One of the loveliest cities I've ever been to!

Liz {Sequins And Stripes} said...

Such an amazing trip! You are going to LOOOOVE Prague, it is such a quaint little town, so separated from the rest of the world. Perfect for honeymooners :)

Viviana said...

Wow! You will absolutely love both cities! I have soooo many recommendations in Paris - I will email you with them :) xx

Such a great combination of cities! I've been to Paris but I've been itching to go to Prague

Alex {Things That Sparkle} said...

Sounds absolutely incredible. Paris is my favorite place on earth, and Prague is number one on my list of must go to's! I have tons of Paris recommendations, I'll email them over!! So excited for you guys!

Jenna said...

WOW! I'm so glad you guys chose Prague - I've been wanting to go there forever! I worked at the study abroad center during college and everyone who studied there couldn't find enough good things to say about it!

You are going to love - and, since they aren't on the euro, it will also be easy on your pockets :)

Your honeymoon will be great!!! I'd recommend making time to just sit and read in the park in Paris. I'd highly recommend Bike About Tours in Paris. Definitely keep Amsterdam on your list though. Out of all of the places I've been in Europe (London, France, Germany, Austria, Amsterdam), it is for sure my favorite.

Love both of those cities! I lived in Paris for 4 months in College, and have gone back every year since. I'm going again in February and these pictures are getting me so excited!! have a blast!

Emily said...

Sounds like the perfect honeymoon! Everything about Europe makes me swoon :)

I liked Amsterdam, but yeah, maybe not for the honeymoon. I've always wanted to visit prague

Christy said...

I've been to both! Paris, as you know is WONDERFUL. I've been to Amsterdam three times and I'vve never liked it, so good choice on opting out of there. Prague is beautiful. It was a bit crowded when I went there but it's insanely cheap and a very quaint Eastern European city! You'll have a blast!

Alexa said...

I've been to both. Loved both. I have a special spot in my heart for Paris. But that's just me. Prague is amazing because of the history and those buildings. Incredible.

Drew {Coral Cafe} said...

aaahhh!! how dreamy!! I've kept putting Paris in the back of my mind for a honeymoon destination! You are so lucky!!

Zoe - Style Foodie said...

So jealous! You guys will have a blast!

Jaime @ La vie...J'aime said...

Prague is on my list! i've been to Paris 2 times but it was so long ago... i recommend of course going to the top of the Eiffel and the Musee d'orsay is my most fave museum in the world! :)

la petite coquine said...

Such a perfect honeymoon! I can't wait to hear all about your planning, and see the photos when you get back!

Aspiring Kennedy said...

Jill GG (good life for less) said...

fun, fun, fun! My husband and I spent 7 days in Paris for our honeymoon! It was a very memorable trip... I can't wait to hear more details as they unfold for you!

Jessica said...

You picked two very dreamy cities. I've never been to either so I'm excited to hear all about your planning!

Anait said...

This makes me very, very, very happy :) You will LOVE both...they are such perfect honeymoon cities!

I have a prague city guide saved on my computer somewhere...if I find it I'll make sure to send it your way!

p.s. stop by my blog for a giveaway :)

Andrea Reh said...

I have been to both! In Paris, you simply cannot miss Versailles or the Musee d'Orsay - both are just as romantic and beautiful as you can imagine. In Prague - there's no where quite like the castle, but I would also recommend a stop at the McDonald's in the Old Town. With checkered tablecloths and flowers on each table, it is surely the most adorable McDonald's on the planet!

Anna of IHOD said...

Its my someday dream. What an amzing honeymoon spot it would be Jillian!

soanthro said...

Oh my goodness you two are going to have SUCH an incredible time. Prague is next on my list of places to visit- I hear the most amazing things about it. If you've spent a month in Paris I'm sure you know much more than me, having only spent a couple weekends there, but a favorite of mine is always Laduree :) And have lunch there too, not just macarons!

ashley nicole catherine said...

ahh so exciting!!! you are going to have SUCH an amazing time. we haven't decided just yet, but paris is so tempting!

Lexi said...

This sounds like a fantastic trip! My hubby and I went to Paris and London for our Honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. Definitely go to the Louvre when in Paris, and any wine bar is also fun!
