You recently got engaged (congratulations!!) and now you’re making plans to celebrate the occasion. There are the surprise reveals, perhaps an engagement party, or you and your partner could make an intimate celebration of picking out the ring together, maybe even shopping for your wedding bands and getting the very first item ticked off the wedding checklist.
If the mention of ring shopping just sparked your imagination, why not make it a mini vacation, aka an engagement moon.
What Is An Engagement Moon?
An engagement moon is a honeymoon-style getaway where the newly minted couple take a trip to celebrate the beginning of their new journey. The trend started almost a decade ago (coincidentally around the time the term bridezillas started trending), perhaps as a way to bring a sense of calm and partnership to the wedding planning process.
If you’re a Sydney bride-to-be, ready to hop aboard this trend and get a quick break in before you get consumed by wedding planning, Lizunova Fine Jewels has researched the finer details, so you don’t have to.
