We know y’all are always looking for amazing wedding vendors to surround yourselves with, so we thought we’d sign off for the weekend with a few gems that have recently joined the SW family.

We have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Desiree, of Desiree Dawn Events, in person, but I sure feel like I know her! She’s a warm, vibrant, and Southern personality (some of you might even have met her chiming in in the comment section here at Southern Weddings!). Her events are equally lovely, and better yet, they’re planned in an eco-friendly manner. Check out more of her work on her site, blog, and Facebook!

Studio Eleven One has all your wedding day documentation needs covered — both photo AND video! Based in Destin, Florida, they specialize in dramatic, romantic, and dynamic coverage of all aspects of your wedding day — they call it “cinematic portraits,” and we can see why! See more of Micah and Dakoda’s work on their blog, site, and Facebook!

I smile every time I catch a glimpse of Angee W’s banner in the right sidebar — it’s so bright, fun, and girly, just like her custom clutches! I’ve chosen my favorite to feature above (with navy blue Thai silk and heavy white lace — ooo la la!), but you have to head to their Etsy shop, site, and blog to see all of their MANY designs that are perfect for bridesmaids gifts (just make sure to get one for yourself, too!).

We hope you love these vendors as much as we do! Want to get in on the SW ad action? (Hint: there’s still time to get a print ad!) Just fill out this form and Whitney will be in touch!

Southern Inspiration: Lemonade Summer

by Emily in Color Palettes and Inspiration Boards, Main on July 27, 2011

I’m so glad y’all enjoyed Nicole’s color palette last week! From here on out, she and I are going to be teaming up to bring you a double whammy of Southern inspiration — I’ll start by developing an oh-so-Southern inspiration board, and then she’ll take the color palette and round-up an assortment of Southern goodies that correspond.

First up? A board celebrating a quintessential Southern summer drink, lemonade!

Check back next week for Nicole’s color palette picks! In the meantime, if you’ve got an idea for a future Southern inspiration board, feel free to leave it in the comments!
