Two nights ago, I broke out my ice cream maker for the first time this year! Who else is excited that summer is so close? With Memorial Day weekend just a few hours away, we’re all itching to get outside.
Emily’s Crab Boil inspiration board was just what we needed to get in the mood for the months ahead. I love the fiery, juicy colors.
Keeping up the theme of refreshing summer things, Marissa delved into the history of Coca Cola — and why Southerners refer to all soda as “Coke!”
Apparently, flower girls are just begging to be monogrammed! We’ve seen the adorable monogrammed sashes, but this option is new to us. We love how bold it is!
It is V5-central in the office lately! We’re swimming in photo shoot heaven and want you to join us! In the Atlanta area on June 14? Send us your photo! See details here.
I always love finding great bridesmaid gift options. It can be difficult to find the perfect items that say “thank you” properly, but we think these monogrammed frames from The Paper Cottage are just the ticket. Win a set for your ‘maids here!
We didn’t stop with just one giveaway this week! In celebration of Amanda Judge’s adorable new line of jewelry and party dresses, we’re giving away a lovely bridal sash from her collection! Enter to win here.
We’ve seen our fair share of cornhole boards (and played our fair share of games, too!), but we just can’t get enough of this Southern Tradition. We just love seeing guests play this game at weddings.
The finalists of our Maile Lani Photography Giveaway have been chosen! Readers, we need your help making this hard decision. Cast your vote and tell us who you think should win here.
This week’s featured Real Weddings Gallery is Andrea + Michael. We can’t get over their classic style and the Grace Kelly look-alike we found in the bride!
Real Weddings are our favorite!
Madelynne + Corey’s wedding was one we’ve waited in anticipation for! From the adorable proposal to the colorful getaway, it was wedding-love all the way. See it here.
Sarah + Nick’s wedding felt just the way a homespun wedding should. We love their DIY details and wedding parade for the kids! See it here.
Fun things to do this weekend:
Near Mobile? The Second Annual Mobile Crawfish Festival is on June 2! See more details on their site. We seriously wish we could go! Marissa — can you go and eat some for all of us?
Before you go, let’s just fall in love with this photo together. I’m crazy for how simple this image from Nancy Ray Photography is — just warm, comfy love. See more of Stacie + Nick’s engagement session here.
Have a ridiculously fun weekend, friends!
