    I would absolutely love to attend!! My southern roots haven’t changed just because I moved out of the south! :)

    The best swoon moment at weddings is looking at the groom while the bride walks down the aisle.! All the love is written all over his face!

    So glad this is happening in Dallas! My favorite thing about weddings is when you can see how much in love the bride and groom are. Nothing else matters compared to that.

    I love watching the bride walk down the aisle and seeing the look on the grooms face – makes me tear up everytime!

    My favorite swoon moment is watching the couples reactions to one another as soon as they are pronounced husband and wife! Some of the sweetest expressions come from that moment! :)

    I love everything about weddings, but if i had to pick just one thing – it would be all the little details that show the couples personality and all the cute things the couple does together to show their love for one another.

    The sweetest moment is seeing the couple look into each other’s eyes at the alter. How can you not swoon after seeing the anticipating smile of a handsome Southern groom gazing into his sweetheart’s eyes in their last moments before marriage?

It’s Valentine’s week, ladies! That means that for the next two days, we’ll be bringing you all sorts of sweetness and light. To kick things off, we are so happy to be introducing the 2012 collection from Chaviano Couture, a fabulous bridal gown designer based in the South! You know we love supporting our fellow Southern ladies.

Says Annette, the designer: “The new Chaviano Couture collection for 2012 is titled ‘How Fair is Your Love.’ The inspiration came from all things feminine and romantic. Lace, tulle, chiffon, and organza bring an air of whimsy and romance, while details like pockets and separates add practicality and comfort.” Practical and beautiful — sounds like a Southern lady to me!

Of course, we’re loving the soft images by Harwell Photography, as well.

We’re so happy to be debuting a small peek at Annette’s collection, but be sure to stop by her site tomorrow to check out the whole line! In the meantime, tell me: which one is your favorite?

The talented vendors:

Gowns and accessories: Chaviano Couture // Photography: Harwell Photography // Styling: Carlee Sizemore // Florals: Amy Osaba // Calligraphy: MM Ink // Hair: Shornell McNeal // Makeup: Mara Zal // Model: Alex Lahey

Harwell Photography and MM Ink are fabulous members of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

For those of you who couldn’t get enough of the dreamy Watercolor wedding we posted on Wednesday (right, that would be all of us!), we’re fixin’ to continue the party with Natalie and Wade’s wedding film! Celia Hilton of Momentus Films sent it our way, and we couldn’t be happier to share it with y’all.
