Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Hi there, friends! This week was full of more V4 goodness and a little bit of Southern Weddings holiday cheer!

One of our favorite features from V4 (okay, okay, one of many) was the Williamsburg Wedding shoot! The classic details and clean green and white colors combine perfectly with the colonial setting and sweet nods to Virginia.

We’re excited to announce our third annual Southern Weddings Ornament Swap! We can’t wait for the holidays and the cute ornaments that will be traveling through the mail. Check out how to get involved here!

Marissa brought another timeless feature to the blog this week with a sweet post about classic white wedding shoes! The photos and styling from Gloria of Gloria Wong Designs and Leo Patrone are adorable!

Of course, we had to follow that with a shopping guide! What kind of shoe-addicts and wedding-adorers would we be otherwise?

We brought you the best of white wedding accessories, so we had to highlight the colorful bouquets from our Southern blooms feature. Totally Southern and absolutely gorgeous, we couldn’t ask for more.

We welcomed a familiar face to the blog as our Southern Bride of the Month! Madelynne is a frequent commenter and now we get to hear all about her big day with fiance Corey. We can’t wait to see how their contemporary and eclectic wedding turns out!

We’re crazy about all of the Fab Finds we featured in V4, but this Paloma’s Nest bouquet tile is especially sweet. We love how it allows you to customize your blooms and keep heartfelt things nearby. Want the chance to win the one we featured? Lucky you, we’re giving it away! Details here.

Annndd…we have more holiday fun for you guys! Grab your aprons and your icing, we’re building gingerbread barns, y’all! The Southern Weddings gals can’t wait to meet y’all at our first Gingerbread Barn Building Competition at the Carolina Inn. The winner gets a fun holiday prize! See more here and don’t forget to RSVP!

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery was Amanda + Brent! We still can’t get their green and blue details out of our minds!

I am SO glad to hear that y’all love The Crimson Poppy’s work as much as the Southern Weddings gals do! Though, I have to say, I’m not surprised — just take another look at the gorgeous bouquet she designed for V4!

I am so happy to announce that our lucky winner is Kelly, or KCK138! Miss Kelly would include peonies, ranunculus, roses, double camellias, and dahlias in her bouquet, which sounds just gorgeous to me.

Kelly, look for an email from me in your inbox soon! Everyone else, sit tight! We have some AMAZING giveaways coming up, as well as one going on right now: don’t forget to enter to win a Paloma’s Nest bouquet tile!

Come celebrate the holiday season with the Southern Weddings gals! We’re putting on our aprons and busting out the frosting for a good ole fashioned gingerbread building competition. The twist? This ain’t your regular gingerbread house — we’re building gingerbread barns, y’all! Bring your best friends, your partner in crime, or your sweetie to compete to build the best gingerbread barn below the Mason-Dixon Line! The winner even gets a special holiday prize: a $100 gift certificate from our sponsor, Minted! Perfect for holiday cards and save-the-dates, no?

We’re partnering up with our awesome event sponsors, The Carolina Inn, Sugarland Bakery and Hammond’s Candies, to spread the holiday joy (and some friendly competitive spirit). We’ll be building at The Carolina Inn’s Hill Ballroom on November 30 at 6:30. Stations will be full of gingerbread, Sugarland’s yummy icing, tons of peppermint from Hammond’s Candies and lots of other sweets! The fabulous Nancy Ray will be on hand to photograph all the festivities, too!

To keep the sugar highs at bay, light snacks and refreshments, courtesy of The Carolina Inn, will be provided. Get your creative caps on and start thinking up your plans, because the Southern Weddings girls will be building, too, and we’re going to be raring to go! As you can tell from the photo above, I’ve been practicing. Don’t be fooled by its modest appearance, guys: I’ve got foundation setting, frosting piping and M&M eating down to a science.

RSVP by sending an email to me at nicole {at} iloveswmag.com with the subject line: Attending with Bells On! See you there!
