Honeymoon shopping suggestions!

Hey ladies! My wedding is a little less than 2 months away & I am so excited! I've started thinking about packing for the honeymoon, but it's a little harder since I don't know exactly where we're going haha! FI really wanted to plan it all himself & surprise me since most of the wedding planning fell to me because he is in the USAF and stationed out of state.

I figure since it'll be August, it'll be hot pretty much everywhere. So sundresses would probably be a good option since I can dress them up or down depending on where we are & what we're doing. So does anyone have some good suggestions where I can get a few cute ones without breaking the bank?! Or any other shopping/packing suggestions to help a girl who's in the dark? lol

    Kohl's and Macy's. I wish there was a Dillards in Columbus. I love that freaking store. They always have so much on their clearance rack marked down.

    I would add TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Forever 21, Express and Lerner's. Other items are flipflops, swimwear, coverups, tank tops, and shorts! Happy Shopping!!!

    I second TJ Maxx! I LOVE express. Their stuff can be a little more pricey sometimes but they have 40% all of their summer stuff right now!

    Bring at least one paid of jeans and at least one sweater (maybe more).  If you go somewhere like Alaska, it'll be a necessity.  And, get a super cute bathing suit!   I'd also bring one slightly fancier dress, just in case you guys go out for a nice dinner one night. Bring a fancy pair of shoes, some sneakers (what if you are exploring or walking a lot), and some flats and flip flops.

    Will he give you hints on whether it will be hot, warm, mild? Or any type of hint? 

    I feel like FI would never ever allow me not to know, because I would really overpack, just in case!! I mean, I overpack for an overnight stay.....

    Thanks everyone! I definitely wouldn't have thought of all this!

    Haha Nnoble! I know how you feel, I'm trying to fight my excessive packing instincts, but I fear it's a battle I'm going to lose! & nope, I don't get any clues because FI knows me too well (from past experiences). I have a tendency to not rest until I figure out surprises & then get disappointed that I did lol. I just always remind him this contradictory behavior is part of my charm!

    I found this page recently (link) that has a really extensive packing list for honeymoons.  Hope this helps!
