Monthly Archives: June 2012

If the weather isn’t an indication of the beginning of summer, than maybe this weekend’s plans will be. I’ll be spending time with family and friends, breaking out my sundresses, going to a country show and getting a tan! What are your plans?

Monday started with a bang when Emily presented this hot pink and teal inspiration board with tea party accessories. We love the bold color combo with sophisticated neutrals.

Y’all, summer is here! We must celebrate this wonderful season full of beach time, ice cream and fireflies, so we’re giving away Amy Atlas’s book, Sweet Designs! The fun ideas will have you styling dessert spreads at all of your summer barbecues. Enter here.

We can’t get enough of a cute monogram. The bridesmaids gifts in this Southern Spotting are too adorable to pass!

We think a day at the lake is the perfect way to jump start our summer and our new Southern Summer series! Plus, take a look at the video at the end of the post — too cute!

This week, Emily talked all about her ceremony plans for her upcoming nuptials. What type of vows did you recite? Traditional, personal, or both?

We’re bringing the V5 photo shoot tour back home! Want to join us for a shoot in Chapel Hill on July 30? Check out this post!

We love Real Weddings!

Erika + Jon’s wedding took place in the mother-of-the-bride’s back yard. We love how the whole neighborhood helped create a beautiful wedding day. See it here.

Austin + Steven’s wedding was a whimsical mash-up of vintage details and luxurious touches. We can’t get over the gorgeous blooms! See it here.

Good news for the weekend!

We want you to be a part of our next print edition! If you’re interested in submitting content to us, take a look at this post. We’re looking for Real Weddings, bouquets, rings, Fab Finds, epic images and more!

Have you joined the Sweet Tea Society? We believe true love always wins. Read our manifesto here and then snag a badge for your blog!

Before you go, take a look at this sweet shot of Brittany + Doug by Nancy Ray. Brittany, who was in our Engaged Reader Round-Up, and her beau tied the knot in April and we couldn’t be happier for them! See more of their big day here.

Now, for all you belles and beaus getting married this weekend (including our Southern Bride Blogger, Courtney and our dear friend, Kristen), we’re sending out tons of love and hugs and kisses to you! Congratulations!

Have a fabulous weekend, friends!

As I’ve confessed before, I have a soft spot for less-common flowers. I OF COURSE love a good peony as much as the next gal, but I’ve always prided myself on being able to recognize most flowers by sight (the result of years upon years of absorbing wedding magazines and Martha Stewart Living, as well as a general interest in gardening). However, I totally understand that most gals (and pretty much all guys) would return a blank stare when asked to describe an anemone, clematis, hellebore, freesia, or protea. And what, exactly, is the difference between a cabbage rose and a garden rose?

That’s why I’m in love with today’s sponsor, the Flowerwheel app! To put it simply (and in their words), “Do you love flowers? We do. We believe in helping you learn about the flowers you love.” Brilliant!

Flowerwheel has a library of more than 500 blooms, all beautifully and cleanly photographed so you can clearly see the difference between a hydrangea and a hyacinth.

Each flower’s entry contains detailed photos and a description, so you can easily see when your favorite blooms are available, as well as whether they’re hardy or fragile.

You can search by color or month, and save your favorites to share with your florist, your mom, or your friends!

Any other budding gardeners out there? Or brides who want to be informed, with ample info at their fingertips? This app’s for you! It’s available on the app store, and you can check out the Flowerwheel site for more information!

P.S. I just have to give a shout-out to Karin, the creator of Flowerwheel and the mastermind behind all of the gorgeous blooms in this post, as well as Annabella Charles, who provided all of the beautiful images!

      Stacy: We are wokring on Android as well, but the code is different. We have had a lot of requests for it and decided it’s time to see what we could create (it’s only fair!). Thank you for the comment. We love feedback.

We really weren’t kidding when we said we were swimming in V5 wonderland! We’re checking off the photo shoots for our next print edition and have had some fab reader models join us in Upstate New York, Florida, Atlanta and Richmond. But we’ve still got some photo shoots up our sleeves! Are y’all ready for another reader model call?

Lovely models from our last shoot in Chapel Hill, shot by Jose Villa

We’re looking for a few bridesmaids to join us for a fun shoot in Chapel Hill on July 30. If you’re available, want to have your photo snapped by a fabulous photographer, and want to hang out with the Southern Weddings ladies for the day, send your headshot (just a great photo of your face, no need for professional photos!), a few recent candids and your height to [email protected]

We can’t wait to hear from you!
