Weren’t you just dying when you heard about our huge One Ocean Resort and Spa giveaway? We were giddy just announcing it! We love the idea of using this trip as a honeymoon, second honeymoon or getaway with the girls.

Huge congratulations go out to the lucky winner Whitney Lewis who won the three-night weekday stay at One Ocean Resort and Spa!

Floral Cotton sent us a box full of our favorite fluffy white bolls to play with and we couldn’t resist sharing the love with a giveaway! We asked you how you’d incorporate cotton into your big day.

Yahoo! Our big winner Audrey S. who said “I’d love to use the cotton on a kraft paper backer for our escort cards!” will receive 50 cotton bolls! In addition, lucky ducks Maggie and Lauren Ashley will receive 25 cotton bolls, each!

In celebration of our fourth birthday, we loaded the blog up on sugar! We asked you which marshmallow flavor spoke to your tummy the most for the chance to win $50 to 240sweet!

Congratulations to Rachel G. who said, “Happy birthday!! I like the sound of peppermint chip the most! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!” Thanks for the birthday wishes!

We’re excited for our winner, Anne L. who said, “Do pop rocks count as nostalgic candy? They are for me!”

Sweeteeth’s chocolate bars, bon bons and sauces will put your sweet tooth in heaven! We asked you which chocolate bar was your favorite.

Winner Megan said “Call of the wild chocolate sounds delish!”

No wedding is complete with out dessert! We love Courtney Dial Whitmore’s Push-Up Pops book for inspiration! We asked you which dessert is your favorite for the chance to win it.

Our winner, Kristy said “I would try strawberry shortcake for a push pop.” Sounds delicious!

Last but not least, we ended our birthday week with a giveaway with Candy Warehouse! You told us your favorite candy for the chance to win a $50 shopping spree with them.

BELLES! We’ve got serious business to discuss today! If y’all have been jealous of our recent Honey List trips, this, my dears, is your moment. Our generous friends at One Ocean Resort and Spa have kindly given us a fabulous trip to SHARE! That’s right, we’re giving away a VACATION!!! (Can you tell I’m very excited? I feel a little bit like Oprah!)

Imagine sitting by this pool relaxing with your BFFs while drinking a yummy frozen drink. Seriously, I just might steal this giveaway! One Ocean Resort & Spa is located on the white sands and surf-worthy waves of the Atlantic Ocean, minutes away from Jacksonville, Florida, and nestled directly across from the picturesque Beaches Town Center. The cobblestone streets and eclectic mix of shops, ice-cream parlors and nightlife options are made for the perfect getaway!

Let’s switch dreams: Now imagine you’re laying by your own Mr. Wonderful in the Florida sun. You’ve just tied the knot, and yes, you’re again sipping on a yummy frozen drink. A bit later, the two of you might explore the picturesque beach-side communities of Jacksonville Beach via adorable beach cruiser bikes. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might hop over to neighboring Neptune Beach, which offers miles of sugar white sand and plays host to rich cultural events like the North Beaches Art Walk.

YES, PLEASE! Take me there! Y’all know I’d be hitting the beach and shops one day, then spending some R&R time at the Spa the next. Which is awesome, because One Ocean Key has a bevy of amazing amenities like the Azurea Restaurant, with its award-winning chef, or sports packages for you athletic folk!

Ready for the details? One Ocean Resort & Spa will provide the winner with a three-night weekday stay! We like the idea of using it as a honeymoon getaway, a getaway with the girls, or a second honeymoon! Airfare is not included.

There are three way to enter, and you can choose to enter via just one way or all three!

1. Leave a comment below and tell us what kind of trip you’d take if you won this giveaway.

2. Like One Ocean Resort & Spa on Facebook. Be sure to leave a comment to let us know you did.

3. Post on Facebook with a link to this contest. Be sure to leave a comment below with a link to your post.

    How exciting?! I would definitely use this as a girls’ getaway. My sister is moving to Jax for flight school here in the next month or so and it’d be the perfect spot for us to get away together and spend some quality sister time before my wedding in October!

  2. avatar Elise reply

    We would use this as a first anniversary trip! :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  3. avatar Lee reply

    Wow! I would also definitely do this for a girls getaway. Sometimes life just gets in the way and with all of the craziness we haven’t been able to get together and relax in ages. This would be amazing and allow us to just be girls again!

  4. avatar Jennifer Dedad reply

    I would absolutely take a mini-honeymoon trip here. We are so overwhelmed with the choices and PRICES of week-long stays that we may not end up going on one at all. This would be perfect for us to enjoy our new start as a married couple! I would love to go here!

  5. avatar jan reply

    wondering what to do for our honeymoon… this would be pefect!!

  6. avatar Susie reply

    Amazing! I would take the love of my life! This trip would be such a surprise for all his hard work! :)

  12. avatar Jamie reply

    Lovely! I think that, since we’ve already booked our honeymoon, this would be perfect for a pre-wedding girls trip with my bridesmaids and closest friends! :)

  13. avatar Mary Kate reply

    We would use this getaway to revisit our then-young relationship and first jobs after college in Jacksonville, FL, before we started new ones in Virginia — and added a couple of years to our relationship along the way!

  14. avatar Courtney Cross reply

    I would take this trip and an anniversary trip with my husband. Our 1 year anniversary will be in August. As of now we will not be able to go anywhere because we are saving to purchase our first home this year! We would love to take a drive down to Florida for a relaxing weekend!

  15. avatar Kristy reply

    I would most definitely make it a sister weekend trip! : )

    Being newly married and blending 2 families together, this would be a perfect chance for me (mom/stepmom) to take the girls away for a bonding opportunity with each other.

  18. avatar Stephanie Apuzzo reply

  25. avatar Erin reply

    Oh MY goodness you hit the nail on the head–I have been totally swooning over y’alls honey list trips!! I recently found out that my fiance’s parents will be unable to help us with a honeymoon, so if I were to win a trip like this (definitely a lucky, lucky day!) I’d make it a honeymoon with my main squeeze, Stephen! I’d want to rent a car and drive down the coast, too, so we could talk, listen to music, and stop at every cheesy tourist site we could and take TONS of pictures before we get to the resort to totally relax and be pampered! What a dream!!

  26. avatar Melanie reply

    My husband and I were married in our Georiga Peach Southern Style Wedding in August 2011. Since then, I’ve had three cervical surgeries which have left us in need of some major couple time. We’re saving for our first house though, so a much needed trip to get reacquainted keeps being put on hold. Would love this trip to reconnect! Love SW!

  27. avatar Laura reply

    Oh my goodness, this would be so much fun to do with my honey! We’d make a road-trip of it, from NC we’d go along the coast and hit Charleston and Savannah on the way.

    P.S. “I feel a little bit like Oprah.” Best line of the day!

  28. avatar Lindsey Lawrence reply

    Marissa,
    One Resort and Spa would be the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and me over Memorial Day weekend. My best friend is getting married in Jacksonville over the weekend and my boyfriend and I are both a part of her special day. Her fiance and my boyfriend are Officers in the United States Army and this will be the last and only vacation to spend with them before they deploy to Afganistan. Hotels are rather expensive in the area and this would be the perfect place to celebrate both my dear friend’s wedding and my time with Chris before he leaves.
    Thank y’all for the consideration,
    Lindsey

    P.S.
    I liked One Ocean Resort & Spa on Facebook and I also posted on Facebook with a link to this contest. You can find it on my timeline, https://www.facebook.com/lindsey.leigh.lawrence

    PARADISE!! It looks so beautiful! Although I am no bride yet, it would be amazing to take my amazing best friend/sorority little who I am so excited to be sharing her big day with! I can only imagine the fun we would have and the memories we could make before celebrating her big day! She is such a special friend and I would love to treat her to a fabulous vacation, and some pure R&R before she gets swept up too much in the wedding wirlwind since she is planning her very own wedding. I know that we would have the most amazing time and celebrate such a great moment! We have only known each other 3 years but I feel like she is my sister, whom I could not imagine my life without. She is such a beautiful bride who deserves this vacation more than anyone I know. And I wouldn’t mind it too much either! Hehe =)

    I tweeted this too! Pick us!

    My daughter -the bride- and her southern belles would enjoy every minute of this getaway before her August 2012 wedding. The girls need this time together because shortly after the DC wedding, the new husband -a USArmy Captain- and wife will be relocating thousands of miles and an ocean away. I don’t know how to include a link to my Facebook page, but I posted some love.

  62. avatar Shari reply

    What kind of trip would I take if I won this giveaway: This mother-of-the-bride would give it to her daughter so she could go with her BFFs for some time back in their home state of Florida. Oh how they’d love a treat like this.

  63. avatar Leah Romulus reply

    I would take my closest 4 girlfriends & we would spend time away from school (UNC-Chapel Hill) relaxing on the beach, getting bronzed tans, going to delicious restaurants each night, reading (non-school-related) books, and just talking about LIFE! Oh I can see it now :)

  64. avatar Katie reply

    I would most definitely use this as a girls trip and celebrate one of my very best friends’ upcoming wedding!

I also liked One Ocean on Facebook – WOW, it looks incredible! Thank you for putting this together!

  67. avatar NatalieG reply

    My Sweetie and I would take a quick weekend honey-moon after our September 1 wedding!!! We will both be working (teaching) so we can’t leave for a long trip. We are going to take a month long honeymoon spring 2013, but this little trip would be a perfect get away for us!!!! :)

    There must be an easier way, but I’ll make the effort – whatever it takes for the chance. Here’s a link to my FB profile where you’ll see that I l”like” the resort and even promo’d SWMag in the process.

  78. avatar Whitney Lewis reply

    When I was scrolling through I immediately stopped when I saw the picture of the pool and before I even read the title, I knew it was One Ocean. I knew this spot because this is where my now husband-to-be first told me he loved me. We were standing on one of those beautiful balconies looking at the stars when we said I love you, it was completely magical. He had also surprised me with the stay here, sending me a different picture every week to give me clues as to what we would be doing. He was living there in Jacksonville and I was living in Arizona. We had a year and half long distance relationship before he moved to Arizona. If I won this trip I absolutely surprise my fiancé with a trip here! We talk about going back there all the time… it would be sooo special to return after we say “I do” to the place we first said we were head over heels for each other :)

  79. avatar Kate {domestikatedlife} reply

    I would definitely spend a few days relaxing by the beach with my fiance; we don’t have any vacations planned this year since we’re in wedding savings mode!

    I would relax by the pool with my new hubby, work on my wedding ring tan line and finally hit the town exploring so we can add more pics to our travel album.

  88. avatar Ashley reply

    This trip would be an amazing graduation vacation to take! I’ve spent the last five years of my life working towards my double major of Nursing and Community Health Education and am in serious need of a break from the books! My honey was dying to take me on a trip to celebrate this milestone, but unfortunately it just isnt in the budget at the moment. What a great way to spend time together (we’ve been long distance for the past year and a half while I finish up school)!

  114. avatar Courtney reply

    This sounds absolutely amazing!! I just got engaged and we are not planning our wedding until next Spring. This would be a PERFECT getaway for this summer to celebrate our love for one another. We never get the change to “get away” with our busy schedules and relaxing on the beach with a pina colada sounds ideal! :)

Not only did she ace all of her classes, she brought me home from the hospital a couple weeks earlier from a terrible infection. Needless to say, Brittany took care of me, her classes and planned her amazing wedding all at the same time. I have never seen that kind of strength in anyone.

    Definitely a girls vacation…maybe bachelorette!

  135. avatar Janna reply

    I would definitely use this as a girl’s weekend trip! My hubby and I just celebrated our one year and are planning a big trip this coming fall. But my cousin is getting married in December- and I know she’d love a trip to Florida and I could make it into her bachelorette weekend!

    And I liked them on FB! Being a Florida girl already, I’m gonna check them out even if I don’t win the prize! :)

    Prior to my sister’s wedding a few years ago, she and I took a sister’s trip – a last hurray. We went to Europe for a week and had an amazing time & now have great memories. Neither of us has the finances to repeat that trip prior to my wedding. Winning this trip would allow us to spend some quality sister time together before my wedding & create some new, fabulous memories.

  139. avatar Bonnie Berger reply

    This fabulous trip would be an amazing mini-moon for my fiancé and I! We are tying the knot in July but due to his demanding work schedule in the Air Force, we won’t be taking our honeymoon until December. I would love to surprise him with a weekend getaway to not only celebrate our new life together, but also to thank him for all he does to love and provide for me.

    It is so wonderful that y’all are making this giveaway possible. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

    Looks absolutely gorgeous! I would love to win this amazing trip for my parents…my mom has worked so hard planning my wedding in order to allow me time to finish nursing school. They rarely get away and this would be perfect!

  142. avatar Shannon reply

    Oh my goodness — that looks amazing! I would love this as a quick getaway trip before the wedding…to give us both a break from wedding planning and de-stress!! Wonderful giveaway!

    I would love to win this to have a weekend away with my mom and sister. We’ve been through a lot in the last year with me getting engaged and the passing of my dad and preparing to sell our house. I would love to just get away with them and enjoy some fun in the sun and sand.

    I dream of spending a weekend in Jacksonville with my sister {my MOH!} here! What a lovely beachside getaway — I’ll definitely be working on my tan… July 21st can’t come fast enough!

  151. avatar megan reply

    I would use this trip as a romantic getaway for the bf and myself. We have been together for almost 4 years and have been discussing the idea of marriage a lot lately. Of course it would be great if he would use this as a chance to propose, but if not, it would be a nice way for us to get some “together” time in as well. Thanks for the awesome opportunity!!

  152. avatar Morgan Norris reply

    I would love this vacation as a second honeymoon for me and the hubby! We have been married for almost 2 years now and life just gets busy. A romantic getaway would be perfect to quiet the busyness and just enjoy each other!

  165. avatar Whitney B reply

    Oh what a beautiful place! My husband and I got married 3 weeks before he had to go to Afghanistan. We didn’t get to enjoy a real honeymoon, so if I won I would use it as a honeymoon/welcome back trip with my new hubby!

  166. avatar Annie reply

    My family used to vacation near Jacksonville when I was little. I’d love to take my husband on a vacation there!

  167. avatar Deborah Edwards reply

    This would be our honeymoon if we won!! As it stands, we are putting all resources together to have a very intimate wedding in Salter Path, NC on October 5, 2012. This get-a-way would be perfect for us to have some alone time together as a newlyweds! I will cross my fingers :)

  168. avatar Brittney Edelman reply

    My husband and I were recently married on March 2, 2012. We had a last-minute wedding and planned it in under 72-hours! We had all the bells and whistles – photographer, caterer, piano player, brial party – I even had a beautiful wedding dress! The one thing we didn’t have time to plan …..our honeymoon. We would definitely use this trip for our honeymoon. One Ocean Resort and Spa looks like paradise. I liked their Facebook page too. Fingers (and toes) crossed!

    Our first anniversary trip! :) That would be wonderful!

  170. avatar Alison reply

    I would definitely use this trip as a second honeymoon! My sweetheart and I are tying the knot and then going to Disney World, so this would be a nice relaxing trip after all the hustle and bustle of everything!

  172. avatar Elizabeth reply

    A gorgeous beachside resort? Yes, please! I would take a girls’ trip or a trip with my BFF if I won this giveaway.

    This would be fantastic!! My boyfriend of 2 years and I have a long distance relationship. He’s in the marines stationed in florida for the time being, going to training for air stike specialty! I am up north studying to be a nurse. We see each other once a month for about a week, but lately money has been tight and he has been attending more marine classes, as I am afraid of a looming deployment. This vacation would give us a chance to relax and really enjoy the love we have for one another! It’s close to his base too in florida! And I have always wanted to experience the Southern delights of Jacksonville! Fingers crossed!

    I Love this. I would take this trip with my soon to be husband and visit my Dad and Step-Mom who just moved to florida :)

    My sweet sweet fiance and I are in the midst of wedding planning and would absolutely love a beach vacation. (Could be coincidence, but my fiance even mentioned Florida). :) We saw a post of Facebook by Southern weddings and were directed here to leave a comment to enter. Even if we aren’t chosen, I think this a great opportunity for somebody… such a blessing. Thank you Southern weddings and One Ocean Resort and Spa for thinking of others :)

  191. avatar Staci reply

    I would use this trip as a couples getaway with my husband. He has been out in the dessert of california doing military training and we could definitely use the one-on-one time before an upcoming deployment!

    If I won this trip, I would use it as a honeymoon or just a wonderful trip for me and my fiancé
    (soon to be wife). She just took the bar exam and has been studying all day and all night and this would be a lovely reward for her and I to spend some time together and enjoy relaxing at this beautiful resort.

    LOVE THIS! I would use it for our honeymoon in July!!!!!

  197. avatar Tanya reply

    Thank you for the opportunity! I have been eyeballing this place for months, and have been dying to go! If I win, I would use this to spend a long weekend with my boyfriend who is in the military, before he deploys in June! I’ve been taking care of my mom, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, so this would also be a nice break from that. Fingers crossed…

    We already have our honeymoon planned, but this would be a great vacation for after the honeymoon :) We are trying to save for a house, so our vacation fund is going to be a little short for a while. It would be nice to be guaranteed another vacation :)

  208. avatar Bret reply

    It would be great to spoil my fiancee with a trip to One Ocean this summer as she is working so hard on all of our wedding planning on top of finishing her degree. Our relationship always grows stronger when we are able to share experiences such as this together.

    “Liked” One Ocean Resort and Spa on Facebook too. Forgot to mention, my fiancee is also a big Southern Weddings fan.

  210. avatar Brittani reply

    Wow, I’d LOVE to use this for our honeymoon! With a new house, paying for our wedding, and the other expenses 2012 has brought, a honeymoon isn’t quite in our budget. This would be so wonderful for us :) Thanks for the opportunity!

  211. avatar Amanda Zerra reply

    If I won this amazing giveaway/getaway I would take my hubby for a much needed “real life sabbatical”. We could both use a vacation and some good quality time together away from the hectic routine of everyday life. A relaxing, beachfront and romantic escape sounds right up my alley! I’m sure the Mr. would certainly agree!

    Great idea! I may have already had the honeymoon (St. Lucia–it was beautiful!) but I am definitely going to be keeping the Honey List in mind for future romantic getaways. Is it too soon to plan a second honeymoon?
