We’ve been saying Volume 3 is going to be bigger and better than ever, and now we have proof. Because there was just too much goodness floating around our office, we decided to add an extra 16 pages to our October issue. Yes, you heard right: 16 more pages of Southern weddings awesomeness.
If that isn’t bigger – and better! – I don’t know what is.
Want a sneak peek at what we have in store for you?
—Stunning real weddings. I know, you’ve heard it before. But humor me for a moment: think of your favorite wedding from the last issue. Now imagine that you’ll feel the exact same way about every real wedding featured in V3. Yeah. They’re that good. And you’ve never seen any of them before.
—An incredible editorial shoot from Jose Villa. No, make that two. Bonus? One of the shoots features real-life SW readers. Come on, you know y’all are gorgeous, and now, so will the world!
—Custom Southern stationery designed just for us. And it will be available for you!
—A Southern perspective from our friends throughout the states. That’s all I’m going to say about that one.
—33% more pages of Fab Finds. You ask, we deliver.
Like I said: Awesome(r)! Right?
You savvy magazine readers out there know that with 16 extra editorial pages comes… more ads! To help celebrate our bigger magazine, we’re extending our ad deadline and even offering a special 24 hour ad special.
Want in? Email me for ad availability and special rates. Y’all have until tomorrow night at midnight to reserve your space in the new section, so giddyup!
