We interrupt our regular scheduled post to bring you this draw dropping, overly stunning, eye catching, seductive couple, make me want to take a honeymoon to Bali like yesterday, inspiration shoot! Ok, I just took a deep breath.

About the shoot
For many years I dreamt of a honeymoon in Bali. The tropical drinks, pristine beaches, and the overwater bungalows that seem like the ultimate oasis to unwind after the excitement and chaos of a wedding. While I didn’t make it to Bali for my honeymoon those visions still linger in my mind. These visions served as the inspiration for this editorial/inspirational shoot.

Though this shoot was not in Bali, it was in my opinion, as close as you can get without leaving the country. We shot at the Moorings Village in Islamorada, a place very close to my heart and one of the best kept secrets of the Florida Keys. With palm filled white sand beaches, beautiful cottages and winding paths through lush trees, the property is a one of a kind. The Moorings offers the seclusion, the luxury and beauty that truly make it honeymoon worthy.

Together with the talented team that worked with me to produce the chic Islamorada bridal editorial, we created this Bali inspired honeymoon story that seemed to be the perfect sequel to a chic beach wedding. Colorful, free flowing fabrics, exotic jewelry, fresh leis and the relaxing ambiance of the Moorings brought this from inspiration to reality.

I mean, seriously kt Merry Photography, can your work be any more stunning?

Bizous, (kisses)

Why Stay At Koro Sun Resort and Rainforest Spa

A former coconut plantation is the setting of a collection of villas on 150 acres on Fiji’s second largest island. There’s no better spot from which to explore the South Pacific.

The Scoop

Fijians are known for their fine-tuned sense of hospitality, and indeed, the Koro Sun resort makes guests feel very much at home. Rooms—ranging from studios to four-bedroom villas—take advantage of the island’s aquamarine ocean and a nearby shallow lagoon from private patios and balconies, outdoor showers, Jacuzzi tubs, and plunge pools. Meals at the two restaurants (one of which is waterfront) are included, as are sea kayaking, biking, snorkeling, and hiking. Additional activities include scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, and massage treatments in the Rainforest Spa (aptly named, considering its canopied location). Nights should end at one of Koro Sun’s two bars, where fresh fruit cocktails are served and musicians play on most nights.

Insider Tips

Ask Lemba, one of the hotel staff members, to give you a tour of the resort’s organic gardens and pineapple fields.

There is a secret waterfall at the top of the property, an especially romantic picnic spot.

 Why Stay At Secret Garden Boutique Hotel
The private Moroccan villas provide all the creature comforts of home—should your house include a housekeeping staff, on-call butler, and access to a stunning spa.
 

The Scoop
Privacy and pleasure are paramount at the Secret Garden, which is located within the Palmeraie Hotels & Resorts complex in Marrakech. The 23 villas comprise a secluded, self-contained universe where the focus is on total comfort. Styled with lustrous leather furniture, intricate rugs, and elegant tile work, these sumptuous three-bedroom, three-bath residences (which comfortably sleep six and feature a special kids’ room) also include access to a heated pool, hammam, and terrace equipped with a Jacuzzi—soak in it while soaking up views of the snowy Atlas Mountains. Breakfast in the villa and daily tea service are included. Should guests want to hit the links, the grand courses of the Palmeraie Golf Palace beckon close by. Visit Property Website 

Insider Tips
Crave a sandwich at 3 a.m. or perhaps an extra set of towels? A butler is available 24 hours a day to attend to your every request. 

Don’t worry about requesting a car to and from the airport. The Secret Garden will arrange a limousine to transport you.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Menara Airport (RAK), which is approximately 11 miles from the hotel. Anticipate about 20-25 minutes of travel time. The hotel offers transfers: €18 each way for up to three people.
Why We Love Marrakech
Morocco’s onetime imperial city is filled with mosques and spas, traditional restaurants, and pulsing nightclubs—an ancient-modern mash-up of the best kind.
Don’t Miss
Evening Activity: When the sun dips, this square hums with henna artists, musicians, acrobats, and rows of food stalls, where you munch on everything from snails to sizzling sausage.

Outdoor Market The ancient quarter’s twisting, zigzagging streets and alleys are lined with vendors hawking leather shoes, bedazzled mirrors, and carpets. Haggling is a must. 

Best Spa: Les Bains de Marrakech. Steam yourself silly at this spa, then opt for a relaxing chocolate massage. It’s deliciously relaxing. 011-212-24-38-14-28. Read More 

Palace Tour: Bahia Palace. Built in the 19th century, this ostentatious abode once housed a grand vizier’s four wives. Expect plenty of jaw-dropping tiles and gorgeous gardens. 011-212-44-389-56.
