Last week, we asked you, our loyal readers, to show some love for Southern Weddings by spelling out”I Love SW” as creatively as possible. Judging by your awesome submissions, y’all love SW as much as we do! Since we can’t possibly pick a winner all on our own, we’re putting the vote to you!
Here’s Emily P’s adorable submission! We love the balloons and, of course, are huge fans of wide-brimmed floppy hats.
Lauren really got in the wedding mood by spelling out her love for the SW mag and blog atop her gorgeous wedding gown. (We want to see the rest of that dress!)
The talented Leslee got us all in the Fall spirit with her Halloween-inspired creation. Candy corn! Yum!
Staci of Unique Event Design smothered us with hot pink kisses. Here’s a big SMOOCH from us <3.
Take a look at Caya’s black and white vintage love letter to the SW girls:
A quilter after my grandmother’s heart! Crafty Smurfette lives up to her name with an orginal hand-sewn SW craft.
Talk about your wedding day spirit. Victoria-Joanne’s custom-made garters are made with nothing but love for the SW girls.
Kristy took to the great outdoors to show off her September love for SW. I think we’re in love, too.
And last but certainly not least, Kirsten’s a bride after our own hearts with her scrapbooking genius. Can’t you just feel the love?
We’re really feeling the love around here today! Who do you think best showed her love for Southern Weddings? Emily P., Lauren, Leslee, Staci, Caya, Crafty Smurfette, Victorian-Joanne, Kristy or Kirsten?
To help us pick a winner: Leave a comment on the blog with your vote! The submission with the most votes by next Tuesday, October 6 at 12:00 noon will win a $50 i-Tune gift card.
And, brides? We know you love SW but we really love YOU!
