A WALK DOWN THE ISLE

By Cate Doty

What does your dream wedding day look like? Maybe it’s an intimate beach ceremony for just the two of you.

Or maybe you prefer a laid-back celebration surrounded by your closest family and friends.

No matter what kind of wedding you’re planning, Hilton Head Island is a stunning destination for an unforgettable day.

The island is also a spectacular place to begin your new life together. With breathtaking natural beauty, world-class accommodations and amenities, award-winning dining and so much for couples to see and do, the island is a haven for honeymooners. Stay active together on foot or on bikes, relax on the beach or unwind in a spa. You can do it all during a

Lowcountry honeymoon.

You can relax and unwind, or you “ can keep busy. There are tons of activities here to make it a vacation for guests.”
