Last week, we were thrilled to introduce the blog’s newest feature, the Honey List to you! This curated list is chock full of the best honeymoon spots for you sweet Southern couples. Whether you’re the adventurous type, the romantic type, or the luxe type, we’ve got you covered with locations from quaint Southern towns to Caribbeans resorts. Each location has been personally visited and reviewed by one of us, so you know it’s gooder than grits!
Y’all know over here at Southern Weddings, we like to start things off with a bang. For you lucky honeymoon-planning couples, that means a giveaway with Heys USA modern luggage! We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the launch of the Honey List than by giving away a carry-on-friendly luggage piece to one happy couple. Whether you’re packing hiking boots or swim suits, we’ve got you covered! The 4WD has a hard shell construction that’s designed to flex under stress to absorb impact and then return to its original shape and features an expandable design for up to 25% additional packing capacity. Another pro? All of Heys USA 4WD luggage pieces are incredibly lightweight, so extra baggage fees are avoided. That just means you can pack more souvenirs for the trip home, right?

Hmmm, our ideal honeymoon would be some place low-key and relaxing with maybe some adventure thrown in. I’ve heard that Montana and Glacier National Park are beautiful.
My future husband will be deploying shortly after we get married so I’m just thankful we have the time to take a honeymoon. We’ll be spending ours relaxing on the beach in the Dominican Republic. This luggage would be great to have since he uses him gym bag every time we travel.
Relaxing with a view. Must have good food and good wine to share with my honey. It’s as easy as that.
My Dream honeymoon spot? Hawaii !!
Ooh I like this question! My ideal honeymoon spot is somewhere with history and beauty. I don’t want to spend my honeymoon on a beach somewhere, I want to travel around Italy or France or even Greece. I want adventure and learning. This luggage set would be amazing to take on the honeymoon, thanks for the awesome giveaways!!!
Liked Heys USA on Facebook & of course already liked Southern Weddings :)
We’re thinking about taking our honeymoon to the Banff and Lake Louise area. We would like to do some hiking but also relax and we think that we’ll have the best of both worlds there.
Our ideal honeymoon spot would be Hawaii. My fiance and I are avid hikers and love and adventure but we want to be able to relax on the beach as well!
I now follow Heys USA on Twitter!!

Thanks!!
Turtle Bay!
We are thinking about going to Fiji. Looking forward to making travel arrangements soon!
Somewhere beautiful and relaxing! Not much matters though since you’re with the one you love!
We’re hoping for a delayed honeymoon romp through Europe!
Okay, I’m a bit indecisive. Can I go to Italy, then Hawaii, then round off the adventure with a cup of hot cocoa at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone (with snow)? I’ve experienced two of those places, but it’d be much better to experience them with my better half.
I “like” you on facebook! Ideal honeymoon destination would have to be Turks & Caicos where I can lounge on the beach with my hubby and completely relax after a stressful wedding planning. This luggage set would be PERFECT to take on that trip!
My ideal honeymoon spot is anywhere tropical and warm, which is why we’re going to Playa del Carmen, Mexico!
I tweeted about this contest! @smaddogmiller

the amalfi coast! if only I could convince my fiance that’s his ideal spot! ;)
greece! anywhere and everywhere in greece :).
My fiance and I would love to go to a Sandals resort! We’re getting married in February, but have to wait till he comes home from Afghanistan before we can honeymoon. The best part about that plan is that we don’t have to worry about fitting that into our wedding budget!
My fiance and I are headed to California because it’s a mix of everything we love from hiking to museums to amazing food to the ocean!
My fiance and I are going on a cruise to Mexico! We’re going to take salsa lessons, swim with dolphins and enjoy the relaxed excitement of a cruise (and we’d LOVE luggage to help out!) For us, this is the ideal honeymoon!
My ideal honeymoon spot is Italy!
India!
I could go to some exotic island for my honeymoon – sure, why not! :) For example, Bali.
We are trying to plan a European honeymoon with a stop in Paris and then Florence/Tuscany and Venice. We are trying to go for around two weeks in November so the weather won’t be amazing but we’ve both never been to Europe and with a little wedding help we are hoping it will be decently affordable! I’m nervous about not having a relaxing time but we are planning on spending evenings with lots of wine and wonderful food which is highly important!! But the luggage would help with our euro trip!! So here’s to hoping for good luck to be on our side!
I have also started following Heys USA on twitter!
Paris would make a wonderful honeymoon, the language, the food, the city, so romantic!!
Our ideal honeymoon spot (assuming money or time was not an issue) would be Costa Rica!!!
I like Heys USA and SW on FB!
I already follow you on Facebook but I started following Heys USA on fb too!
I’m thinking Napa sounds wonderfully romantic! And to change things up a bit, I think visiting Portland and other parts of Oregon sounds rugged and exciting!!! Would love to use this luggage on our honeymoon June 28th!! :)
We are delaying our honeymoon, but hoping to go to some nice beach in South America and relax when it is winter in the northern hemisphere.
And I already follow SW on facebook!
My ideal honeymoon destination would be Ireland. I would love to take in the historic greenery with my honey. Oh what a dream that would be! :)
St. Lucia and we can’t wait!
My ideal spot is Paris, as I’m a food nerd and would love to spend a few lazy afternoons hopping between museums and pastry shops!
OMG! My ideal honeymoon spot is the Fiji islands!! We always wanted to go there and hoping that we will be able to save enough to go. Definitely will be a dream come true!
HAWAII! Can’t wait!
I already like Southern Weddings on facebook but I just liked Heys USA as well!

Santorini, Greece is where I’d love to go!
Tanzania/South Africa/Spice Islands…so many cool spots in that part of the world!
we would love to go somewhere private and tranquil. napa valley would be ideal!
our ideal spot is the entire western carribbean, so we are planning on going on a 7 day western carribbean cruise!!!!!!
Hey ladies! I liked Heys USA and of course I already liked SW mag!!!!I absolutely love ya’ll!!!
I love these bags! That’s something I didn’t think I would need but I guess for the honeymoon!!! My ideal honeymoon spot would be someplace new, exciting and fun… and pretty much any place would be that for me so if I got to pick I would pick Hawaii!!
My ideal honeymoon spot is one of those faaabulous cute little bungalows over the water…Bora Bora maybe?!….yes, please!! They’re sooo romantic and the water is gorgeous, I WILL be shopping around for a steal on those between now and honeymoon time!
Woohoo!! My ideal honeymoon spot would be Hawaii! I’ve always wanted to go so bad….
loving the orange suitcase – go vols!!

My fiance’ booked our honeymoon right after we booked the venue (14 months in advance)! See where our priorities are?!! We are headed to St. Lucia to relax on the beach, enjoy delicious food and each other! No itinerary, please!
Thinking about honeymoons makes me want to take mine all over again!! Being from the north, and getting married in December made Mexico sound perfect for me and my groom a few years back. We went to a beautiful resort and were spoiled for a week on the beach. Our flights got delayed there and back, we didn’t get our lost luggage for a few days into our honeymoon.. but i honestly wouldn’t change a thing. And advice to those who are traveling for their honeymoon: pack a carry on bag!!
I liked SW Mag!
I would love to go hiking in New Zealand – that sounds like the perfect honeymoon to me!
I went to St. Barts for my honeymoon and it was beyond perfect! All we did was lay out and eat lots of French food. I highly recommend it!
I sweetie and I will be going to Scotland for two weeks this July for our honeymoon!!!! He thinks he’s a Scot (Mr. Campbell) … boys ;-)
I would love to go to Europe but my man thinks we should stay in the States… I guess we will have to see!!
our perfect honeymoon is my fiancee and i out on the beach sipping bahama mamas and listening to the waves roll in and out! can’t wait!
We’d love to go to Scotland, or somewhere over seas. Like Italy or even somewhere in southeast asia, like Thailand or something… budget constriction definitely don’t allow for that much air travel, so we are deciding between jamaica, and/or a combo of a couple of days in vegas and maybe the canadian rockies. (We got offered the use of a time share, at those locations, so we could go to both, and still be at our budget)
My ideal honeymoon spot would be a house in the mountains.
Our perfect honeymoon spot has enough stuff to do (for him), but won’t make us feel guilty if we take some time to just relax (for me). I’ve been pushing for Canada– Montreal or PEI maybe? It might not be your usual tropical honeymoon, but, hey, if it’s good enough for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. . . .
Paris in the fall!
Ooh! I am right there with you, Meagan!
This luggage is PIMP! I think I’ll be buying some new honeymoon luggage from Heys USA irrespective of this giveaway, and the orange luggage has me hooked (Go Vols!) My man and I are set to actually GO on our dream honeymoon to Jade Mountain St. Lucia for a week and then a client/friend of my future hubs is sending us sailing in the Southern Caribbean on their private sailboat for another week as their wedding gift to us! Dream come true. I still can’t believe it. I’m gonna need some Heys USA luggage to keep the sailboat from sinking because I’m not a light packer!
I am now following Heys USA and I tweeted how awesome their luggage is on my twitter @dawnspass. I’m new to twitter, so I hope I did it right:)
And I now “LIKE” the heck out of Heys USA on Facebook and Southern Weddings (duh) as well. And I posted on Heys USA’s wall that I love them.
And I posted on Southern Weddings FB post about Heys USA.
This luggage is awesome! We could desperately use a lightweight piece of luggage for our honeymoon!
I also linked this giveway on my FB page, but I can’t figure out how to tag SW and Heys USA from my phone…?
Just told all my FB friends about this adorable luggage that would be great for a honeymoon!! :)
My hunny and I are getting married in September of 2012 and are looking into the French Polynesian Islands! I would love to have a new piece of carry on luggage and a Heys USA piece would be perfect! xo
I’m a new Heys USA Facebook fan!

My ideal honeymoon would be, as tacky as it sounds, a road trip across America. I would like to travel my own beautiful country before seeing others.
Hey, just posted and tagged on facebook. You guys rock!
An ideal honeymoon is any beautiful beach, a fruity cocktail, and my hubby in tow!
My ideal honeymoon spot would be a trip to Angkor Wat (religious monument in Cambodia) because it’s my #1 bucket list trip, but we’re planning a belated honeymoon trip to Italy for the Spring since that’s a bit more romantic! New luggage would definitely come in handy!
Anywhere in Caribbean! Jamaica or St. Lucia and a all inclusive!
My fiance and I are going to Nicaragua (only 8 and a half more months till wedding/honeymoon!) for some beach, rainforest, coffee, yoga, adventure and more!
Just “liked” Heys USA & Southern Weddings on Facebook! :)
My fiance and I are heading to the Maldives for our honeymoon in May. We came across a picture of the islands and knew immediately that if there was any way to make it happen, we had to go!
I “like” you both on Facebook!
Just tweeted this out: Hoping @HeysUSA picks me to win their 4WD luggage giveaway…would be perfect for our trip to Nicaragua! cc @iloveswmag
Our ideal honeymoon spot is somewhere where the sun shines and the water is blue, and me and my soon-to-be hubby can nab a fru-fru umbrella drink. St. Lucia, St. Thomas, St. John…any of the above!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I “liked” Heys USA. No, really, I really DO like them! And I “like” Southern Weddings, too!

Goodness me! What a great giveaway! Our ideal honeymoon would be sailing the Greek Isles with lots of sun + yummy food!
I’d love to spend my honeymoon somewhere in the mountains (like Chamonix).
somewhere with a beach+beach weather = smaller clothing articles=more clothes in the suitcase :)
i liked you both on facebook!
My ideal spot is somewhere with a little adventure and a little relaxation. My outrageous ideal spot would be South Africa, and something a little closer to home would be Costa Rica!
Our ideal honeymoon spot would be somewhere relaxing and tranquil, with an amazing view! Sailing around the Greek isles would be perfect.
Our ideal honeymoon would be somewhere beautiful with an ocean view. We’re thinking about a Sandals resort in the Carribean :)
I am having my honeymoon in Punta Cana at the Paradisus Real. We are getting married at the Now Larimar in Punta Cana and staying at both hotels for a week. I am super excited!
If I could have it any way and I had money growing on trees I would go to Europe. Anywhere in Europe!!! Ha! I think I would blindfold myself and play pin the tail on the country! I want to travel the world and see all of the history and learn about the different cultures. I want to wake up in a bed and breakfast and walk for miles learning about the landmarks that are hundreds of years old and eat at little cafes up and down the streets and watch the locals do what they do on a normal day in Paris or Milan. I want to be the corniest tourist in all of these towns and sight see for hours upon hours!
I am the type of tourist that usually lays at the pool and sips pina coladas all day waiting to get my bronze on! I want to start learning more about architecture and history. I want to explore the world and eat all of the staple foods each city has to offer!
my ideal honeymoon spot would be to visit Norway!
My ideal honeymoon would be to go Kenai Fjords in Alaska to go whale watching.
I’ve always dreamed of going to Hawaii for my honeymoon! The sand, beaches and waves are appealing to anyone! My fiancé agrees Hawaii would be perfect :) Win! Win!
I really like you, Southern Weddings
and I really like Heys USA
