Honeymoon Recap!

I completely forgot to post pictures from our honeymoon, which was absolutely AMAZING! We spent a week at the Royal Plantation Ochos Rios in Jamaica. The Royal Plantation is a small boutique hotel, but also all-inclusive, so we were completely pampered all week. It was the perfect honeymoon!

The resort was really small, but very upscale. Every meal was at least 3 courses and dinner was usually 7 courses...I think I gained 5 lbs in one week! Our suite was amazing and huge. Our balcony was right over the ocean, so we had an amazing view.

We were greeted with champagne while we waited for our hotel transfer:
Lunch at the beach cafe...the coconut shrimp was AMAZING!

First day on the beach. The beach was amazing! We had beach butler service, which was perfect. They started everyday by serving Mangosas and fresh fruit...we had so many drinks on the beach!

Miami Vice...delicious!

Champagne before dinner:

Dinner at La Terrace, the more casual of the 2 dinner restaurants:

Our yummy dessert:

We went zip-lining through the canopy one day...it was so much fun. I highly recommend it!

I would HIGHLY recommend the Royal Plantation for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing honeymoon. We had so many extras included, like snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tour, kayaking, high tea in the afternoons, turn-down service...I could go on and on. Michael and I had such a good time just relaxing, reading, laying on the beach, and eating yummy food. I want to go back!

Dreaming of our Honeymoon

Since it's been so cold and rainy lately, I've found myself dreaming of being on our honeymoon. I can't wait for a full week of sun, food, relaxation, drinks, and most importantly being Michael's new wife! I thought I'd share a few pics of our honeymoon destination:

It cannot get here fast enough!

Honeymoon Needs

So maybe I don't NEED all these things for my tropical honeymoon, but I really would like them! My mom wants me to have a trousseau (which is a new wardrobe for the honeymoon). I don't think I'd mind that too much to say the least - feel free to purchase these for me Mom! Here are some lovely items I'm currently lusting after:

Milly Fan Print Silk Twill Sheath Dress

J.Crew Watercolor-stripe Twist Bandeau Bikini
Kate Spade Amelia Slide

J.Crew Cate Patent High-Heel Slingbacks (thanks Blue Eyed Bride!)

So, who's buying all these lovelies for me?
