It’s hard to believe that mine and Emily‘s Texas trip was almost two months ago! We had a great time in my home state working on our first two editorials of the year, road tripping through blue bonnet fields, and of course, meeting lots of Texan readers! We held reader meet-ups in both cities we visited, and kicked it off with a super fun meet-up/Southern Weddings Shop pop-up shop at the beautiful BHLDN store in downtown Houston. We thought we’d share a few photos from our lovely morning with the BHLDN ladies and all of our new Houston friends–don’t miss the fun surprise from BHLDN at the bottom of the post!
Thank you so much to Christa Elyce for snapping these lovely photos of the event!
Carla of Whisk Bakery provided the most delectable treats–the fact that it was 10 A.M. didn’t stop us from digging into the blueberry lemon and french toast mini cupcakes, Mexican hot chocolate brownies, and peanut butter marshmallow sandwiches!
Even if you didn’t have the opportunity to attend and take a look around BHLDN’s gorgeous store, you’re in luck, because they have generously offered to give away four of their beautiful accessories to one lucky reader! The winner will receive a Perle Bracelet, the Layla Drop earrings in silk/clear, a Pumila Bridesmaid Sash in ice, and a Goldleaf Hairpin. These pieces are perfect for bridesmaid gifts–you can gift one to each gal according to what fits her personal style best. To enter, visit BHLDN’s website and leave a comment to let us know which of their bridesmaid dresses is your favorite! The deadline is 9:00 AM on May 26, and the winner will be chosen randomly.
Please note that this giveaway is only open to US readers, and is only for the four items shown above. Good luck!
I love the Celestina dress in plum!
The Chloe dress is stunning! *fingers crossed*

I love the Willow dress!!
The fleur dress in black cherry! Gorgeous! :)
Okay, the Corinne dress is stunning. I would not be mad if someone asked me to wear that. It makes me want to frolic through fields and pretend to be Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Bennett.
I love the Juliette in sea glass!
I absolutely adore the Corrine!
I love the Annabelle Dress not only because it is beautiful but because of its versatility! I love that bridesmaids can wear it however looks best on them– and that they can even pair it with the Annabelle Dress Topper!
