If you're looking to cozy up in a warm blanket or sit in a jacuzzi with your sweetheart, then Aspen is the right place for you. The best time is during the snowy months which is early December to April. They are the busiest months and you will find lot of tourists; also, the prices of hotels and lodges are sky high during this period. So if you do decide to visit Aspen for your honeymoon, make reservations in advance. Also, if you're planning on doing something adventurous like hiking, then July through October are ideal.

The restaurants, bars, and pubs in Aspen offer live music with ample opportunities to dance. So get your bags ready and head on down.

Los Angeles, California
With beautiful, warm sunshine and excellent weather the year round, Los Angeles is a great honeymoon destination. Avoid visiting theme parks on your honeymoon because you may be confronted with huge crowds, instead go horseback riding, whale watching, dinner cruises, shopping, and sightseeing. And there is one more thing that California is known for - the beaches!! You can spend relaxing days (and moonlight strolls) at Malibu beach, Laguna beach, Venice beach, or Manhattan beach. The nightlife in Los Angeles is always lively where you have choices from happening bars and clubs to elegant restaurants (where you might just spot few celebrities). And of course, Los Angeles is also host to many festivals throughout the year. So depending on the month you are planning to visit Los Angeles, don't forget to do some research over the Internet.
