Whew! It’s been a crazy week, y’all! Aren’t you glad tomorrow is Saturday? Maybe you’ll be sleeping in and treating yourself to a big breakfast, like me. This week was all about inspiration! Let’s take a look back.
Emily put together a Southern Inspiration Board full of soft peaches and blues. It’s the perfect ode to our favorite summer fruit, the peach, which hits peak ripeness in August.
This week’s Southern Fab Find brought me visions of an outdoor cocktail hour. Wouldn’t your signature drinks look adorable on these Paper Fancy trays? Go to the original post to enter to win one!

Honey Bee Invites and The Studio B brought us another adorable concept: Fried Check-In!
We sat a spell with our dynamic Editor In Chief, Lara Casey! She really needs no introduction, but she’s got some pretty funny tidbits to share with you.

Oh, I am positively swooning over that inspiration board! Makes me want to get married all over again!
I love the Seersucker BowTie escort cards.
I was just wondering if there were anymore finalists in the escort card contest. I only counted 8. Were there supposed to be 10?
Hi Shanna! Nope, we just said we’d post our favorites this time around! Here’s the original post I’m referencing: http://tinyurl.com/3uvqhwe
Emily: Thanks Emily! I was just confused by this sentence. “We received so many cute and creative escort card entries for our first Ultimate Southern Challenge. This week, we shared our top ten finalists!”
