Emily’s boyfriend John is most excited that in 6 days, these silly posts will stop! (However, he can’t argue that cornhole is awesome.) What you you most excited about for V3? Pre-order your copy here but make sure to hop like a bunny and do it quick so that yours can be sent out on Friday!!

Well, ladies and gents, it’s that time again. Even with all of this craziness going on, Lara and I are picking up and heading to The Breakers in Palm Beach next week for a few days for the latest Engage wedding conference. For those of you unfamiliar with the Engage events, they are twice yearly luxury wedding business summits where some of the most exciting people in the industry come together to learn and grow. Lara has been several times before; this will be my first trip. You can read a little more about Lara’s most recent experience on her blog here.
Now, would it be bad to say I’m almost as excited about our surroundings as the people I’ll meet? Feast your eyes on this:
Okay, okay, I guess Darcy Miller, Carly Roney (who I had an awkard encounter with in an elevator when I interned at The Knot, by the way — think she’ll remember me?!), Randy Fenoli, Sylvia Weinstock, Marcy Blum, Maria McBride, etc., etc., etc. can stand up to those stunning interiors and exteriors. They are pretty fabulous, themselves, I suppose. Oh yes, and that other speaker, Lara Casey, I hear she’s pretty fabulous, too.
In all seriousness, we are very much looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of the speakers and attendees in just a few days! Will you be there? Let us know in the comment section!
P.S. Lisa Johnson, the creative mind behind Ceci New York and a speaker at The Breakers, recently released her latest CeciStyle, focused complelely on the iconic property and her stationery inspired by it! Check it out here.

Hi Emily! I'll be there! Can't wait to meet you!

I would have loved to be there. Being a part of this would be so amazing for me right now. Its only an hour and a half from my house, but between needing new gear + my mortgage + and my student loans, it was not possible this year. To next year!

Just one week!! And who is Betsy, anyhow? Marissa is most excited about one of Jose Villa’s features, “Something Blue.” As she says, “The colors literally make me want to redecorate my whole house! For real, y’all! I actually want to live in this feature — it’s just that gorgeous! Plus, the fact that it features real Southern Weddings readers makes it just that much cooler.”
Pre-order your copy here, and make sure you do so SOON — copies are being shipped out Friday!!

I LOVE the little southern sayings on the banners! They never fail to make me smile. :) Can't wait for V3!
Hello!I have a quick question: Is Southern Weddings stocked in any shops in NYC (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens)? I live in Canada but I'll be in NYC next week, so I figured I might be able to save a wee bit of money on shipping if I can pick V3 up rather than ordering it. (If there's a list on your site that I've missed, just point me in the right direction!)Thanks!Cara
Hi Cara! Thanks so much for your interest! Past issues of Southern Weddings have been stocked in NYC, but since we're still new and growing, V3 won't necessarily be stocked in the same places this time as last time. We usually get at least a partial list from our distributor of locations throughout the country in the first week after distribution, and as soon as we do, we will update the blog! Sorry I couldn't be of more help right now!
