    I came across your website from pinterest! I loved the moss flynn skirt so much I just ordered them for my bridesmaids. I absolutely love the one shoulder tank you have in the picture about. Can you please tell me where you found it? It is exactly what I am looking for and I can’t find it on the web anywhere!

  8. avatar Erin reply

    I am also trying to order the Moss Flynn skirts for my bridesmaids but wanted to know who makes the one shoulder tank y’all have paired with the skirt. I love it but can’t find it anywhere. Please help!

    […] I absolutely love this picture for a couple of reasons. 1. The stripes, of course. 2. How cute are these bridesmaids in Anne M. Cramer skirts? This brings “you can wear it again after the wedding” to a whole new level–if I got to wear this skirt as a bridesmaid, I would proceed to wear it every day. This look is perfect for a spring or summer wedding, and for that matter, it’s perfect for any kind of event. Chic, preppy, polished, and adorable!

  27. avatar Ruth Rososuw reply

    How on earth do i get hold of the material used to make the stipped bridesmaid’s dresses. i live in South Africa and i would love to do something similar for my bridesmaids. I will do anything possible to get that material. And how do you think this still would suit a plus sized bridesmaid? Or something similar as long as the stripes stay.
    Thanx so much :-) !

Just like Tuesday was all about our Paper, Cotton, and Flour feature, today is all about our fabulous Charleston polo shoot! Before we reveal the final images, photographer Leigh Webber is here to give you a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of a print feature on a hot and sticky August day!

How about the SUV corral? There’s a reason wedding vendors (and editors) drive big cars — we have a lot of stuff to haul around!

We had a much bigger crew than usual at this shoot, which meant lots of consultations amongst different groups. Which kind of translates to lots of standing around in photos, but I promise, we were working hard!

Meanwhile, Barry from Blossoms Events, our florist for the day, was hard at work pulling together gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces.

In another corner of the polo field, Emilie Dulles, Nicole, and a few other helpers were prepping the escort card display.

A selection of sparkling flatware and glassware was lined up and waiting. We typically bring more than we can use in order to have options!

When the table was finally ready to set, we had one highly unusual step: dirtying the polo balls. Yes, Caitlin, Calder’s intrepid assistant, actually spit on our polo balls then rolled them in the mud to give them an authentic layer of dirt and dust. All in a day’s work, folks!

With all the pretties prepped and ready, it was time to begin shooting! Yes, these were two of the actual cameras Bryan was using:

Pretty neat, huh? Here’s the man himself in action:

Meanwhile, inside the house, our professional model (the bride for the day) as well as two lovely Southern Weddings readers were getting prepped by Pamela Lesch and Tanesha Dupree.

Once the gals were beautified, we headed out to the field to shoot!

Everything was going great until we had to climb over a fence… and one of us was in a ball gown. Our model handled it like a champ, though! Still, these might be my favorite behind-the-scenes images :)

A half an hour or so later, and we were ready to call it quits! Here’s a small portion of our shoot crew, and the SW ladies on the bottom.

A HUGE thank you to Leigh Webber for coming out and taking these amazing behind-the-scenes images!! Be sure to check back soon for the full feature. In the meantime, check out this fun BTS video, also put together by Leigh!

P.S. Want more behind-the-scenes fun?

    These bridesmaid’s outfits are probably the cutest ones I have EVER seen. I was so sad that I didn’t discover that back in March when we picked out what my girls are wearing!

Change is in the air these days. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooler and we’ve been inspired to make some changes of our own!

We’ve been cooking up some pretty delicious new additions to the blog, and all of these amazing new features are almost ready to launch! Where will you find us after all of these divine changes come your way? Celebrating with pumpkin pie and apple cider, of course!

Now, we’re all about the wedding, and, as you know, are more than happy to help you plan your perfect Southern soiree. But what comes after that blessed wedding day? The honeymoon, of course! We’re putting the finishing touches on a highly-curated list of the top honeymoon locations in the South and beyond! The Honey List will be the first place to check for honeymoon planning and inspiration. Think your honeymoon was the bee’s knees? Represent a property that you think would be perfect for this list? Email Marissa and let her know!

There are so many reasons for us to celebrate these days. Lara is expecting a beautiful baby girl and Southern Weddings V4 was met with tons of praise! It’s been pure amazingness around here. One thing that I am forever and always grateful for is that we have SOLD OUT of our past editions! For those of you who missed out on getting them in print, never fear! We’ve created online editions of all three issues so you can flip through each issue to your Southern heart’s delight. The Digital Trilogy will be available super soon!

Last but not least is the project nearest and dearest to my heart. We have been fielding dozens of applications from some absolutely, positively amazing vendors from around the South and in the next few weeks, we will be unveiling the brand-spankin’ new Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory. Brides, you’ll have easy access to a curated resource list in every single wedding category and in every Southern state. Vendors, if you’re devoted to the client experience, produce exemplary work and have glowing peer and client review to back you up, you could be just the type of vendor we’re looking for! We will be adding to this list year-round, so just send an email my way to get an application!

I’m brimming with excitement and we are all thrilled to share the Honey List, the Digital Trilogy and the Blue Ribbon Vendor directory with you! Sit tight, my belles and beaus, these changes are coming up real soon! So soon!
