Start your marriage with a mini-moon!

Why not celebrate your marriage with a mini-moon?

So, you’ve got the wedding planning under wraps and now you’re thinking about exotic locations for your honeymoon. But forget the Seychelles why not spend some time in Bonny Scotland instead?

Or at least a few days exploring the stunning surroundings as Mr and Mrs before jetting abroad?

We Fell In Love is a blog run by experts in the industry, showcasing everything the Scottish wedding scene has to offer.

And they say there are a few hidden gems if you fancy honeymooning at home or a “mini-moon” between the wedding and the first holiday to celebrate your nuptials.

Christina Golian, director of We Fell In Love, said: “We’ve noticed a recent trend towards mini-moons in Scotland and the UK, with destinations such as Skye, the Highlands and the Lake District proving popular.

“Lots of couples are opting to have a short break after the wedding, then booking a longer honeymoon a few months later, which gives them something to look forward to planning after the wedding is over.”

Here’s a few examples of marvellous mini-moon and Scottish short breaks to celebrate your nuptials.

Nothing could be more romantic than following a track through a tunnel to a hidden harbour at The Blue Cabin by The Sea in Cove Harbour, Berwickshire. It’s as though it stepped out of a novel.

Or if fantastic food at your fingertips is top priority then The Torridon, nestled in between the Torridon mountains in the Western Highlands of Scotland could be the perfect place to mini-moon.

And if you’re craving even more seclusion then the Boat House is tranquility itself.

If you’re a foodie at heart then you’ll also want to know about Monachyle Mhor a family-run hotel hidden along a loch-side road, north of Callendar.

For those of you looking for something completely different, how about hiring your own campervan and exploring Scotland that little bit more? Wilderness Campers have lots of great ideas for your Scottish adventure.
