GOING GREEN with your HONEYMOON!

As we start off our lives together........with the posibilities of growing old together......with the possibilities of little ones and creating a family......it seems even more reasonable to ponder the possibilities of how can we make a difference with our Wedding and Honeymoon?

In this post we would like to consider some of the creative and standard ways we can make a difference for the community and the world as we embark together to make our new lives together.



Some ideas:

1. Use a facility that is GREEN GLOBE APPROVED and CERTIFIED!
Sandals and Beaches along with some other locations are
GREEN GLOBE CERTIFIED.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GOLD CERTIFIED ACHIEVERS
The following groups have achieved Gold Certification as a reward for five years of continuous effort to improve the quality of the environment in which they operate. All of the below operators are an important example of the role business can play in bettering the communities in which they do business. The Green Globe team would like to take the opportunity to thank each of these organisations for their commitment to sustainability. Their dedication ensures that future generations will continue to enjoy the natural and cultural wonders of the world.
Beaches Sandy Bay, Turks and Caicos
Sandals Halcyon Beach, St Lucia
Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica
Sandals Royal Caribbean, Jamaica
Negril Gardens Beach Resort, Jamaica
To find out more information on these groups, simply click on the property name.


2. Use natural light periods for your wedding instead of night time periods which require more artificial light use. This will also help with your pictures and videography of the wedding festivities.
3. Use local vendors for catering, photography, DJ's, decorators, and other services for your wedding as this will use less fuel and inturn leave a smaller carbon footprint for your event.
4. Use group travel for your guests when possible as this leads to less congestion and fuel consumption on the road, but also a safer and potentially a more enjoyable occassion for the guest who do travel together. This will also help with the responsible vendor issues as most occassions do have an opportunity for the guests to invibe.
5. Use reusable, silk, limited flowers, or flowers of the season to be more earth friendly.
6. Use a location that already has wonderful beauty that does not need as much transformation decorating.
7. Choose a time of year that lends itself to cooler or warmer period where as to not require as much heating or cooling from the venue you choose.
8. If you are going off for the Honeymoon, a larger jet for traveling long distances is more efficient than using smaller aircraft.
9. Choose a destination for the wedding or honeymoon that uses recycled water for irrigation as this is very important as to preserving our freshwater sources.
10. If you use a limo service and do not need a 12-16 passenger limo, select a smaller one that is more energy efficient for you and your spouse. Where this is the opposite is where you use the limo to move all of the wedding party. Match this to your needs to get the best eco friendly result.
11. Use recycled paper products when availale for stationary, annoucements, invitations, and thank you notes. Some people are all wired for e-tations and so forth. Use of this eliminates the paper thing completely.

Give us your ideas so we can pass them along and allow all of use to be a part of the solution.

THE HONEYMOON!! A great site for finding the right things your need


Honeymoon Destinations, Wedding Registries, Destination Weddings and a great third party site for finding information about your Wedding and Honeymoon!

The Honeymoon created the first fully-automated, e-commerce honeymoon registry service back in the year 1999. Since our inception we have helped thousands of couples have a better honeymoon experience while giving their wedding guests an easy, safe alternative to the traditional bridal registry. Our honeymoon registry is the perfect wedding registry for today’s brides and grooms.


The Honeymoon is not a travel agency so as a courtesy to you we have established a network of knowledgeable, experienced travel agents to help couples create the honeymoon or destination wedding of their dreams. These travel experts have an average of 12 years experience and are experts in a wide variety of destinations. This is, after all, your honeymoon.


Planning a honeymoon or destination wedding starts with choosing the destination and then refining your choice down to specific resorts and hotels and then trying to find or create wedding or honeymoon packages that fit your budget. Do your own honeymoon vacation and destination wedding research first before contacting one of our honeymoon travel agents.

Sandals Negril JA






Sandals Negril JA. Just returned from the resort and have to say the New RIVER SUITES are just to die for! Right on the Beach with a meandering river pool set right in front of the walk out of the suite. Beautifully appointed with Tommy Bahama style Luxury Included ambiance. The nightly beach side Bon fires with cozy seating areas are awesome to sit and talk with the someone special. The beach is just steps away and the moon casually shines on the water when in its growth pattern. Not to mentioned the Butlers.......if you have had one you know......they just really make the luxury experience complete......if you have not had one this is a must in my book because they really amplify your time and experience while on your vacation / holiday / honeymoon. Check out the night pics above!


AMY is the goddess of the Negril area for our firm.......any@travelbyhorizon.com or 1
