Have you seen Springmaid’s editorial ads?  They’re stunning.  I love the play on whimsy, fantasy and nature.  It’s a successful campaign if you ask me, because all I want to do is get in that bed and lose myself in a blissful dream.

So in the spirit of dreaming under the heavens, I got a little curious as to what options are available around the globe, to appeal to that insatiable appetite for skylight romance.  Whether you want a unique honeymoon experience, or just want to get away for a bit, I’ve found some remarkable outdoor lodging moods around the world.  Oh, and I couldn’t resist: dream palettes to go with each mood.

GETAWAY #1: CHATEAU UNDER THE STARS

Who doesn’t love the idea of secluding your loved ones in an exclusive chateau dream palette for a weekend?  It can be costly, but if you are fortunate enough to be able to afford a chateau resort for your wedding day, I recommend the couple’s suite and spa treatment package.

GETAWAY #2: BEACH FRONT UNDER THE STARS

Going for a dreamy beach wedding can be a fun choice.  Just be aware that the ocean breeze (although soothing on a cd) can be brutal to an unsuspecting hairdo.

GETAWAY #3: BEDOUIN DESERT UNDER THE STARS

For a rustic Bedouin- inspired dream palette, you can be sure to indulge in chic nomadic designs that include Persian rugs, pillow, oil lamps, large tents, storytellers and breezy attire.  Or you could turn up the volume on Bedouin luxury with champagne, hor d’oeuvres and of course, diamonds.

GETAWAY #4: SAFARI UNDER THE STARS

There are many fun ways to allow the crisp hues of nature to inform your safari-inspired color palette.  Just because it’s a rustic safari, doesn’t mean you can’t make a bold statement.  Ditch the traditional veil that can get caught on the wrong twig and embrace alternative jewel headpieces.

GETAWAY #5: SPA DESERT UNDER THE STARS

Zen style and feminine mystique can go hand in hand when planning a desert oasis-inspired palette.  Just be sure to have excess amounts of libation to keep your guests hydrated.

So there you have it: Five of my favorite outdoor honeymoon ideas, with many more finds to come.  No matter what your sleep style is, there’s a deluxe bed underneath the heavens out there, with your name on it.
