Ideas for an At-Home Honeymoon After Your Lockdown Wedding
If you’ve decided to go ahead with your wedding despite the pandemic, your next step is planning your at-home honeymoon.
Here at Something Borrowed Bridal wedding dress boutique in Basildon, whether you’re open to in-land travel or not, we have compiled a list of ideas to make sure your honeymoon is special without the need to travel abroad.
Book a Staycation
If you’re itching to get out of the house, why not book a British staycation?
With lockdown restrictions looking to be lifted, you will be able to organise a holiday honeymoon in England from 12th April (if all of the government’s guidelines are met).
With countless holiday spots across the country, such as Cornwall, Devon, Brighton and the vast British countryside, whether you choose to spend your honeymoon in a caravan, hotel or tent, it’s sure to be special.
Create an At-Home Spa
If you’re not quite ready to commit to UK-travel, there is no reason that your honeymoon can’t be just as romantic and special should you spend it at home.
A spa break is a popular choice of honeymoon activity, so if you’re planning to stay at home for your post-wedding celebration, why not recreate the experience at home!
Gather your fluffiest towels and cucumber slices, pop the bubbly and spend some quality time together kicking back and relaxing.
Themed Food and Drinks Based on Your Initial Honeymoon Destination
Chances are that your abroad honeymoon has had to be cancelled as a result of COVID. But that doesn’t mean you can’t bring that same excitement into your own home.
Wherever you were planning on going, why not plan your home honeymoon’s menu around the same cuisine?
If you were heading to Mexico, why not make tacos, nachos and drink tequila! If it was Spain you were hoping to visit, sangria and paella would hit the spot.
There is plenty of opportunities to get creative with this one, but if cooking is not you’re thing, you could always get a takeaway!
Keep Your Holiday Days Off Work
Although your at-home honeymoon might not be as grand as a big trip abroad, that doesn’t mean that the time you spend together won’t be as special.
It can be tempting if you’re at home to cancel your booked holiday days and crack on with work until international travel can resume.
That post-wedding feeling will only come around once, whereas holidays will come and go. Keep your days booked off and resist taking those work calls. Whether you choose to cook a romantic meal or simply cosy up and have a duvet day, you won’t regret it.

Sustainable/Eco Weddings With more and more focus on reducing plastic waste and living more sustainably, this mindset can also be applied to wedding planning. Wedding dress hire is just one of the ways you can plan your wedding more sustainably. Consider this when shopping ‘new’ for anything wedding related – are you going to use it after the big day? Can you upcycle something to achieve the same effect? Is your catering locally sourced? Are there any plastic elements that can be swapped for paper? Not only is this mindset great for the environment, as with hiring your wedding dress, you might find you save a bit of money. Grazing/Dessert Tables It is becoming more and more trendy to ditch the traditional wedding cake, and opt for a more fun and interactive dessert table. From doughnut sculpture, cheese towers, to cupcake concoctions, the classic fruit cake is stepping aside to make room for these unique dessert options. Choosing dessert foods that you can graze on will encourage guests to get up on their feet, take in the gorgeous sculpture before tucking in! Hire Your Wedding Dress in Essex Today!
