We spent the first two weeks of married life on a Honeymoon in Italy. We started off in Sorrento, headed to the Amalfi Coast and stayed in Positano, and finished off in Florence. It was a truly amazing experience, and I'm pretty sure we've said a thousand times now that we want to live in Positano, it was just so magical. Thinking back on our time there makes me realize how much I yearn to slow down, live in the moment, and take one thing at a time (a feat in Southern California).

Instead of doing a traditional registry, we opted for a honeymoon registry. We would highly suggest it. At first we were nervous because we thought our guests might take it the wrong way, but everyone that we talked to loved it! It was a great way for our guests to see what we would be doing on our trip and to help us by contributing towards hotel rooms, day trips, and excursions!

On our last day in Florence, we had a photo shoot, which a guest of our paid for; it was amazing. We woke up super early and met up with our photographer at 7am before the majority of the people in town were out and about. We felt like we had the city to ourselves for the next hour as we walked around hand in hand, smiled, kissed, and sipped coffee. It's one of my favorite memories of the trip! We booked this through Flytographer and our photographers name was Sonya. She was so sweet and made it so easy. The best thing is, this company has destinations all over the world. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip!



So what do you guys think? Would you consider doing a honeymoon registry? For us it was definitely the best thing since we'd already been living together for 4 years and had set up house. Plus our guests got to see our pictures of how we used their gift on our vacation. And we'll definitely remember this trip for the rest of our lives.
