The weekend is here! We’ve been working like crazy in the office this past week preparing to bring y’all amazing things (and prepping for V4! Yeehaw!). So I’m ready for a weekend of crafting and good food, how about you guys?
We started off the week with a bright and fun inspiration board that will get you exited for a Tex Mex fiesta of your own! We think it will make for a great rehearsal or welcome dinner!
Our Southern style expert, Marissa shares one of our favorite Southern things: bow-ties! Y’all know we can never have too many of them around! And let’s go ahead and admit it: we love seeing our beaus sporting bows.
We hope you can tell, but a few weeks ago, we switch to a giant new server to handle all of our traffic! Now that things have gotten roomier, we’re excited to announce that Southern Weddings V1, V2 and V3 will soon be available for you to view online! Want a sneak peak of all of the goodness? V3 is already online for your viewing pleasure.
Y’all, welcome to the dog days of summer. Summers are wonderful in the South, but we know they can do a number on your hair and makeup! Take a look at the tips and tricks I gathered from two hair and makeup experts on how to beat the heat!
We love this week’s Southern Fab Find! These peach crisp cookies from Baking for Good are perfectly Southern and sound so yummy! Better yet, when you order from Baking for Good, a portion of your payment goes the the charity of your choice! Go to the original post to win two dozen of these cookies!
This dreamy garden inspiration shoot was the perfect midday pick-me-up. I love the modern accents amid the rustic color palette and how it features real-life husband and wife, Naomi and Josh from the Rockstar Diaries!
In the Newlywed Kitchen, we’re cooking up Sierra’s great grandmother Damie’s catsup! There ain’t nothing better than homemade! View the recipe and download a recipe card here. Have a recipe you want to share? Let Marissa know!
Y’all had the chance to get to know me, Sierra, Marissa and Whitney. Now, get to know our amazing Art Director, Emily! She’s talented, sweet and loves poetry! Grab some raspberry lemonade and sit a spell with her.
We featured Mary + Greg’s stylish coral farm wedding in this week’s Real Wedding Gallery. Take a look here.
Our Real Weddings are gorgeous!
Samantha + Graham exchanged vows in the Southern Part of Heaven (a.k.a Chapel Hill), where blush pink and blues helped create a sweet Southern soiree. See it here and here.
Ashley + Patrick’s classic garden wedding was rich in Southern hospitality and romantic details. See it here and here.
