3 Stunning Honeymoons For Winter Brides
While it may be true that most couples think their honeymoon destinations should revolve around amazing beachfront properties and sun soaked afternoons, there are also a growing number of newlyweds turning to the great outdoors and snowy winter retreats to find love and romance.
The cozy atmosphere of being indoors while the weather rages on outside can be a license for closeness that a tropical paradise can be hard pressed to compete with.
All of the destinations we have detailed below will offer you a massive amount of fun against a snow capped mountain backdrop and will allow you to undertake activities such as dog-sleding, skiing, cross country and snow-boarding as well as horse back riding and hiking.
In addition, all of the places share a mountain type lodge with the exception of the last one which offers the highly romantic warm hearth to snuggle up to a loved one and revel in the simple fantasy of being together.
Quebec in Canada is the first place on the list of winter paradise destinations.
This vibrant town offers a great combination of Europe and America and has been dubbed by many as the Paris of North America.
The suites inside of the Auberge Le Vincent offer things to enhance a honeymoon such as goose down duvets, 400 thread count sheets and flat screen tv's.
The service at this resort is highly specialized as only ten rooms are even available for booking.
If the outdoor activities and indoor amenities aren't enough, couples can take an excursion to a winter play world known as the Valcartier Vacation Village.
The next place on the list is in the states and is the popular tourist destination of Aspen, Colorado.
It is also a Hollywood hot spot that is constantly in the news as one celebrity or another is always vacationing there.
The St.
Regis Aspen Resort is the picture of perfection for this type of getaway.
It looks like it was pulled straight out of a scene from a Christmas movie as seen in The Polar Express.
It lights up the night sky with its classic upscale elegance, and allows couples to relax in the heated outdoor courtyard pool, or see a full meal being prepared in the exhibition kitchen.
The spa boasts 20,000 square feet of luxury that allows newlyweds to indulge in all of the basic services, and if that's not enough, there are the vapor caves, and a waterfall room to practice an hour of meditative yoga in.
The last place on the list is for couples who have a lot more money to play with.
It is in the heart of Sweden in the small town of Jukkasjarvi, 160 short miles from the Arctic Circle.
An 8 mile dog sled journey is one of the best ways to get from the airport to what is probably the most unique hotel in the world.
The Kuruna's Ice Hotel is a serious ice castle that is built each year beginning in October by the Sami tribe in the area using 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow.
By December the exterior is finished and the interior work can begin.
Of the 50 rooms and 5,000 square feet of total accommodations, an international artist completely designs each room from scratch each year.
The use of color plays a role with gentle hues enhancing designs that are simply lit by tall pillar-like candles that make the ice glow from within.
Reindeer skin covered doors welcome guests to a surreal and magical environment sure to inspire romantic feelings with it's unique flair.
Newlyweds tend to only stay one night in the ice castle and then two or more nights in one of the bugalows occupying the Scandinavian territory.
The locals that spend their time each year creating the ice hotel often say that the location makes for such powerful and visual Northern Lights that they can actually be heard as well as seen.
If that doesn't work to bring a couple the most off the wall one of a kind honeymoon getaway that will inspire memories for years to come, nothing will.
Although most honeymoons consist of lying on the white sandy beaches somewhere while sipping a tropical drink, some honeymoons are meant to be different, and that's where the wonder of the winter landscape comes into play.
Depending upon the budget, there are so many amazing places that allow for outdoor adventure and indoor intimacy, a little research and a good pair of long johns should set the stage for a stunning honeymoon adventure.
