Atmosphere Productions: Honeymoons Are Happening

Honeymoon planning is less affected by economy, so says a recent survey by TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com . This comprehensive report surveyed more than 17,500 US brides married in 2012.  More than 3 in 4 couples (77%) took a honeymoon. As we see the economy's effect on wedding planning continue to lessen, the impact on honeymoons continues to lessen too. The middle of the country tends to stay put, while the East and West Coasts get as far away from home as possible. 84 percent of nutmeggers and 89 percent of Rhode Islanders take honeymoons, the highest figure in the country. Only 44 percent of Alaskans make the trip.
