If the media is to be believed, then cheap flights may soon be a thing of the past so take advantage of them now and fly off for a ‘dressmoon’. What’s that, you say? A ‘dressmoon’ is a mini break for brides that sees them snapping up their dream dress abroad. Think flying to Italy ala Katie Holmes for her frock, or nip over the Atlantic to Nordstrom and JCrew for ready-to-wear gowns that you just can’t get shipped to the UK. Key2Holidays even offer a personal wedding dress shopping service (from £250) if you fancy getting your gown in Rome.

A three night break at the 4* Duke Hotel costs from £130pp for travel between 3 January and 15 March 2009 and 17 July and 7 September 2009.
