4. Florida
A winter wedding might make Florida a very attractive option for a honeymoon. There are so many attractions in the state that it is difficult to limit your visit to just one. But a well-planned honeymoon could easily encompass Disney World, the Florida Keys, the Everglades National Park, and Miami, one of America’s most vibrant cities.

Featuring some of the most-photographed coastline and lighthouses in the country, a honeymoon on the Oregon Coast is a leisurely option after a summer wedding.
