Howdy ladies (and gents, if you’re also reading)! We’re wrapping up yet another fabulous week at Southern Weddings and preparing for a weekend of sweet tea-drinking and relaxing…maybe also with a grilled cheese sandwich.
BUT FIRST! We have some very exciting news to share! You may have heard on Twitter earlier in the week, but we’re making the official SW announcement here: Lara is pregnant! The Biscuit, as we’ve officially dubbed the new addition, is due in November. See all the details, plus a sweet video, here!
On with the recap! Has anyone else been craving a grilled cheese sandwich since Emily’s Southern Spotting was posted yesterday? Bonnie + Matt’s yummy food station was brilliant! Down-to-earth and delicious, as Emily says.
It doesn’t end there! Emily spotted another Southern detail this week, Cherry Blossom Portraits. While the validity of Washington, DC’s “Southernness” is still inspiring some office debate, the portraits are gorgeous! If you DC brides are worried at all, be comforted that you are technically below the Mason-Dixon line!
A fan of sparkly things? Whitney’s got you covered with a Ken + Dana Design giveaway! Each piece of jewelry is a handmade work of art. Lucky you, you have the chance to win a piece! Head to the original post to see how you can enter.
Still searching for the dress? Marissa found the best Southern bridal shops just for you! And, being the style-savvy lady she is, she even included some tips for finding the perfect gown!
We can’t forget about the wedding we featured this week! Sarah + Ryan’s barn wedding had us all craving some sugar after seeing their dessert bar. We can’t get enough of the lovely Southern details. See them here and here.
Before you take off for the weekend, check out a fundraiser for our friend, Dana. She is the author of the Broke-Ass Bride blog, which has been featured in V2 and V3! “Dishing for Dana: bad-ass bloggers cooking comforts for a cause” is a compilation of beloved comfort food recipes from our favorite bloggers from every corner of the internet. The proceeds of the fundraiser go toward helping Dana pay for medical care for her autoimmune disease. Read more details on her blog.
Have a lovely weekend, dear friends! If you’re up to something marvelous, let us know!
CONGRATULATIONS LARA! That’s so exciting! I also love the phrasing of “the biscuit” :-P I’ve definitely been craving a grilled cheese, too, but things keep getting in the way of my plans, unfortunately! Have a wonderful weekend, ladies, and congrats again!
Wow, babies are always a blessing! :) Congratulations to Lara. Anyway, that last picture from Sarah and Ryan’s wedding soo cute! :D Today I Marry My Dream Girl :D
