Southern Weddings

Does anyone else still have their Christmas tree up? Ours is still standing tall! (Photo proof is on our Facebook.) We’ve got so many great ideas that we’re making a reality, it’s hard to find time to take it down! Who else is in the same boat?

Just this week, we posted some of my favorite features so far and have a ton lined up for next week!

Marissa loves the Southern tradition of the white Bible (one of these images made it onto her Dream Wedding board!), and we’re so glad one of our readers drew our attention to it! Read more about the tradition here and some fun twists that we’ve seen.

I’m always up for pairing natural materials with some sparkle and shine. My Color Palette Finds based off of Emily’s Bright Winter Beach Inspiration Board was the perfect opportunity to share some of my favorite items.

We shared a Real Wedding from V4 on the blog this week! Y’all might recognize Natalia + Levi’s Paris-meets-The South nuptials from the issue and we were more than excited to share a few more images from their wedding. See it here and here.

If Natalia + Levi’s wedding won you over, then maybe this “Get the Look” post will be right up your alley! We picked out some of our favorite details to match the romantic plantation look N + L achieved.

Whether you want to use Emily’s Southern Spotting as inspiration for your wedding or just for a dinner party, we think it will make your table look just “bow-tiful.”

Know the saying, “a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?” They actually meant, “The way to Nicole’s heart is through her stomach.” Marissa’s new mini series on Southern Delicacies makes me really excited. Just look at her first post on grits! Yummy? Yes. Adorably-packaged? Total bonus.

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery is Samantha + Graham. Their North Carolina nuptials took place in our city of Chapel Hill and we love seeing the local details!

Britt + Heath’s wedding would do the women of Steel Magnolias proud! The blush and bashful color palette also incorporated some glam details. See the prettiness here and here.
