Sunshine Matters

VISIT FLORIDA has joined forces with Hawks Cay Resort and Brides Across America to make one military couple’s dream destination wedding come true with the Stars and Stripes Dream Wedding Getaway contest.  The grand prize includes a complete wedding package for up to 50 guests at Hawks Cay Resort, along with a wedding gown, veil and accessories gifted by Brides Across America, as well as travel to the venue from VISIT FLORIDA.

Brides Across America was founded in 2008 by Heidi Janson, who was inspired to do something special to express her gratitude for the men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Brides Across America now hosts free wedding gown events twice a year for military brides in partnership with bridal salons across the country.  Over 15,000 wedding gowns have been donated to deserving military brides to date.

To enter for a chance to win, couples or friends and family of an engaged military pair must visit www.bridesacrossamerica.com/contest and share their love story by answering a few simple questions before Nov. 20, 2016.

The Stars and Stripes Dream Wedding Getaway contest is a great example of the more than 300 promotional programs VISIT FLORIDA executes each year.  In 2015-2016, those programs generated $100.4 million in media value and 1.5 billion consumer impressions.  If you’re a VISIT FLORIDA Partner interested in participating in consumer promotions, click here to find our Promotion Participation Form or email us at promotions@VISITFLORIDA.org for more information.
