In the words of my co-worker, I'm not even engaged, and I'm already planning my honeymoon. I mean, who wouldn't want to be whisked away to travel the world with the love of their life? Sign me up. In the process of fantasizing about one day having a honeymoon of my own, I've been finding myself glued to the Instagram Stories of people flying overseas with their loved ones.

Nitsan Raiter's Italian honeymoon had my full attention as I saw her pose in many outfits that I'd describe as a dream come true. I decided to hit her up for the scoop on her very special vacation. "Our honeymoon was over three weeks in October about a month after the wedding. We wanted the ultimate Italian honeymoon itinerary where we visited Sicily, Milan, Lake Como, Portofino, Pizzo, Tuscany, and Florence. Italy has a special place in our hearts as one of our favorite places to travel to. We felt so lucky to be able to travel there together. It truly was the honeymoon of our dreams!"

"These dresses were easy to wear across a variety of my honeymoon locations like Lake Como and Tuscany. They are ultra feminine and fit with the beautiful outdoor, fairytale-like scenery."

"I picked swimwear that could be styled from beach to brunch. When you want extra room in your suitcase, pick swimwear that has multiple uses. I took this skirt and made it a tube top for the perfect multipurpose piece."

"Gloves don't have to be reserved for the reception look. Since the honeymoon was in Italy, I wanted to play up the chic, royal-like statement accessory, adding to my honeymoon outfits."

"This gown was a moment and saved for a very special occasion. I didn't know where exactly I was going to wear it, but when I saw the beautiful gardens, I wanted to wear something that complemented the environment. I matched it with YSL heels and a black bag to complete the elegant look. Anything maxi I love, especially when it has a leg slit!"

"The dress was intended for my bachelorette, but since I never had the chance to wear it, I thought it was the perfect dress for my honeymoon. The dress glimmered in the Italian moonlight and was very delicate, really encapsulating nighttime in Portofino."

"This was a dress that I wore in Lake Como to tour villas. Since it was mini and the heart cutout was a statement in itself, I dressed it down with my Prada loafers for an all-white bridal look. I extended the wedding, in my dream wedding location, by playing up the romance of an all-bridal white look."

"I wore them in multiple locations on the honeymoon. Menswear trousers are very versatile, weather-friendly and chic. When packing for your honeymoon, you always want to bring options for the various climate that can be worn with many different pieces in your suitcase, like crop tops, blazers and button-downs."
