Southern Weddings

That’s right, y’all! Southern Weddings has officially been around for two whole years, which, in blog-time, is a fairly lengthy tenure.  In real-world time, however, it’s pretty much just a blip — making what’s happened in these two years even more amazing! 

Our site design has certainly changed…

…our name has changed (anyone else remember the days of SWS?)…

…we moved from publishing a blog to publishing a blog and a magazine…

…but our focus has remained the same: to bring a sweet, Southern sensibility to weddings the world over, and to bring the best of weddings the world over to the South.  Whether you live in Charlottesville or Chicago, our aim is to inspire.

We’ve got a few goodies coming up throughout the day and over the next week to celebrate, but we wanted to take a minute to send out a few thank yous.

First, to our readers.  We love y’all, plain and simple.  You tell us when we’ve done well, you tell us when we appear to be off our rockers, you tell us what you love and want more of, and you tell us what you’d be happy to never see again for the rest of your life.  You’re the life of this blog.  As of this morning, we’ve registered 14,627 comments.  We read every. single. one.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The other HUGE thank you goes to our vendor partners.  Whether you’ve sponsored our site in the past or present, are featured regularly, have been featured once, or have never been featured, THANK YOU for believing in SW as a great place to share your work.  We could not be more proud that you trust us enough to form a partnership. 

Nothing is more Southern than a good ole fashioned hand-written thank you note, so here is a little note of thanks from our Editor-in-Chief, Lara Casey.

Here’s to two, twenty, or two hundred (!) more years of Southern Weddings!

xo Emily, Katharine, Whitney, Sandi, Lara and AKP too!
