Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Howdy and happy Friday! I’m here to round up another week at Southern Weddings. It’s been one filled with pretty pictures, awesome finds, and if you tuned into our office Christmas party, lots of presents, candy and Christmas finery! A little song for you all…

But take a look at what we wrangled up for the blog this week:

Emily brought even more Southern charm to her blog with her Paper Pick of the Week, YEE-HAW Industries! Emily’s favorites are the giant postcard signs with cute Southern phrases. Perfect as a card or photo prop? Yes, indeed.

You know we love contests and giveaways! A quick rundown of the goods:

Whitney’s love of history also comes with a Bleu Garters giveaway! To celebrate the tradition (and of course receive what we’re giving away!) head to the Bleu Garters shop, pick out your favorite garter and then go here to tell us why you love it and what your dream garter design would be.

We’re giving away color story items from SW V3! The awesomeness is just too much for this post, so go here to see what we’re offering. All you have to do is leave us a comment telling us your favorite feature in V3. Trust me, just looking at the post will make you very happy. Here’s a little preview:

We’ve extended our Mega Photo Contest! It’s just that mega. Send in your fab photos with SW V3 by January 1 to Whitney. We’ll post the finalists on the blog for you to vote on. The winner will receive a $50 ITunes gift card, an ad on the blog, or a Mini Instax camera.

If you’re in the triangle area and you want a break from drinking hot cocoa and wrapping Christmas gifts this weekend (that’s what I’m doing, at least), Tre Bella in Durham is having a big sample sale this Saturday and Sunday. READ: gowns that are 60 to 80 percent off of retail price for designers like Melissa Sweet, Priscilla of Boston, Lela Rose and MORE. Check out Tre Bella’s blog for a preview.

Have a great weekend, y’all!

Ho, ho, ho! It’s that time again! Time for the SW ladies’ annual Christmas photo with Santa, that is. Why yes, we do gather our whole office and arrive at the mall with festive attire in tow. Why yes, we do wait in line with mothers and small children. Why yes, we do sit on Santa’s lap. And the result?

Brilliant. In case you’re not familiar with our smiling faces, that’s Assistant Editor Whitney, Editor in Chief Lara, Intern Sierra, Intern Nicole, Art Director Emily, and Managing Editor Katharine from left to right. The only gal not pictured in Marissa, who joins in the SW fun remotely from Florida. Love you, Marissa!

Also, following tradition, we wanted to share our Christmas wish lists with you. In case, you know, anyone out there’s feeling generous :)

Lara wants a geek on-call to fix all of our technology woes, blank canvases to paint, and a Smilebooth for the office.

Katharine wants candy. Lots and lots of candy. In large bulk quantities, naturally. (Note from KTW: I think my Amazon wish list sums it up best. A pair of my very favorite running shoes should help minimize the effects of the rest of my list. Right?)

Emily wants a parka, a pair of Jack Rogers sandals in platinum, and Frye boots. (If you’ve been around for awhile, you may recall that she wished for them last year, too…)

Whitney wants a Michael Kors tortoiseshell watch, a Kate Spade iPhone cover, an Ann Taylor silver pump and world peace, per usual.

Nicole wants a plane ticket to Japan where her Marine boyfriend is stationed, a new bookcase from Ikea (hers is doing a nice impression of the Leaning Tower of Pisa right now), and a Flip video camera.

Sierra wants a warm jacket to replace her unflattering puffy coat, a pair of designer jeans and Lucky Brand boots.

What are you wishing for this Christmas, dear readers?

    YES! Another fan of peachy penguins! Katharine, my best friend’s mom used to work at a Barrel Grocer candy store, and I used to get these there ALL the time. The store is no longer, but my best friend manages to find them for me every so often and gets me a huge bag. I always feel horrible after I eat them…but they’re so worth it ;)
