Let\u2019s face it, planning a wedding is not for the faint of heart\u2026 There\u2019s the seating chart that will never make everyone happy; the potential for family drama; bridal showers, bachelor\/bachelorette parties and of course the actual getting married part. It can be extremely overwhelming, especially for the bride that is not usually the center of attention and maybe doesn\u2019t want to be.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Enter the Solomoon<\/h3>\n<p>Recently, there has been an increase in popularity of brides taking a pre-wedding vacation, and we don\u2019t mean with their soon-to-be spouse, we mean solo. Yes, that\u2019s right, brides (and grooms) are opting to take getaways on their own <em>before<\/em> saying \u2018I do\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>That is exactly what a solomoon is: It\u2019s a solo vacation taken pre-wedding that gives you the chance restore and recharge you for the big day. Sounds great, right?<\/p>\n<p>While some people have opted for extravagant all-inclusive getaways, others simply spend a weekend doing all of their favourite things. This shouldn\u2019t be regarded as a way to get away from your soon-to-be spouse, but rather a way to honour yourself and toast this new chapter before all the craziness begins.<\/p>\n<p>So, take a beat, honour your awesome solo side, and recharge. Head into your wedding feeling grounded, and ready to take on this new adventure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/beverage.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-54847 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNjAwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTklMkYwNCUyRmJldmVyYWdlLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5MDAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjAwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"solomoon\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Why the Solomoon is Great<\/h3>\n<p>A solomoon allows you to actually take time to make yourself and self-care a top priority. A lot of people say that the wedding is always about the bride but let\u2019s face it, most brides are running around trying to keep everyone else happy that they end up forgetting to actually breathe, let alone take care of themselves. Does that sound like you? Then maybe a solomoon is exactly what you need to remind you not to burn out before the big event.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"related-posts-title toc_show\">You May Also Be Interested In<\/h3><ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMiUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtV2VkZGluZy1DYXB0aW9ucy1mb3ItSW5zdGFncmFtLWNvbXAtNDI1eDQyNS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWg9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\">Wedding Captions for Instagram: 150+ Ideas Organized by Photo Type<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMSUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtQnJpZGFsLVBhcnR5LTQyNXg0MjUucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\">How to Choose Your Bridal Party: A Wedding Planning Guide<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 3\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjUlMkYxMSUyRkVTLUFydGljbGUtSGVhZGVycy13ZWRkaW5nLWNoZWNrbGlzdC00MjV4NDI1LnBuZyIgZGF0YS13PSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtaD0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\">The Ultimate Last-Minute Wedding Planning Checklist<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n<h3>Deciding what Solomoon to Take<\/h3>\n<p>Now is not the time to take that three-week Asia tour, or go one some risky adrenaline trip, especially if you\u2019ve never traveled solo before.
