Southern Weddings

Monthly Archives: February 2012

As some of you may know, the Southern Weddings gals moved into a new office back in May. We’re pretty well settled in at this point, but if you can believe it, we still don’t have much on our walls! That’s pretty much a travesty for visual people like us.

Last week we took the step of buying frames, but now we have to decide what goes in them… and that’s where y’all come in! We need to choose just SIX perfect images from all of the past Southern Weddings shoots and features. SIX. Talk about pressure! We’ve narrowed it down to ten, but would love your help to make the final decision. If you would, please weigh in with your top six from the ten images below — or, if you can’t choose, we’ll just take your one favorite :)

No. 1: A perfectly preppy table shot from our V4 Charleston shoot with A Bryan Photo and Calder Clark (see more here!).

No. 2: Mason jars go champagne sophisticated with help from Jose Villa and Lisa Vorce in this V4 shoot (see more here!).
No. 3: Punch for two? Yes, please! Thanks to Summer Watkins and Braedon Flynn for this beautiful image from a V4 shoot!

No. 4: An epic and oh-so-Southern portrait from a real wedding by Tanja Lippert, originally seen in V4. Look for this wedding to hit the blog soon!

No. 5: A favorite bride + bridesmaid shot from one of our V3 photoshoots with Jose Villa.

No. 6: A gorgeous anemone bouquet (by MG Floral) from one of our V4 real weddings, shot by Melissa Schollaert. See more from Natalia + Levi’s wedding here + here!
No. 7: Oh yes, the seersucker wedding gown. You didn’t think we’d get away without mentioning it, did you? Shot by Veil and Bow for a V4 editorial.

No. 8: We snuck in a little more V3 love with this pretty shot of fresh, Southern beauty from the cover editorial. Thank you, Veil and Bow! See more here.
No. 9: A gorgeous ceremony set-up from our V4 Williamsburg shoot with Katie Stoops and Courtney Spencer.

No. 10: Last but not least, this majestic hot air balloon shot by Jose Villa from a V3 editorial.

So what do you think, ladies and gents? Comment below with your top six prettiest, most Southern picks! And good luck to you — I’m guessing it will be a hard decision!!

    I love 3,4,6,7,8. 3 & 4 for how intimate they are – especially how timeless 4 is. 6 is just so classic. 7… well you can’t get much more southern than seersucker! Except maybe if a bow tie was thrown in. And I love the colors using in 8 between the flower and earrings.

    #1 Because: it’s elegant and sophisticated.
    #4 Because: he’s taking her down a country dirt road! how much more romantic could you get?
    #5 Because: who needs shoes anyway? not southern girls!
    #9 Because: it’s a beautiful outdoor wedding in Old Dominion (Virginia IS for lovers, you know)
    #10 Because: the majestic trees in the background unique to our region.

  39. avatar Coretta’s Elegant Events reply

    Number 5! The lovely bridesmaids and bride. Partly because I remember reading that they weren’t professional models and they look so real, partly because every wedding party should look so awesome and lastly because of the FAB triple strand turquoise Stella & Dot necklace on the left maid that I have and love. http://www.stelladot.com/elegantcoretta

Y’all, I might cry writing this post. That’s how much this Southern belle here means to me – and all of us! Marissa does a LOT to keep all of these pretty posts coming to you every day. From running the back-end of our vendor relations to working with Emily Ley and I on branding work to heading up the ever-friendly SW social media to writing fabulous features for you here, we couldn’t live without her! That would be like tea without sugar, y’all!

Marissa is also an amazing encouraging friend. I love you so much, M. God is so good to bring you into our lives! We’re all happier every day because of you. We wish you another beautiful year full of laughter and happiness… and lots of Lilly and monograms!

Love,

Lara, Emily, Emily, Sierra, Nicole, Whitney and Baby Grace!

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

This week, Emily brought out new bulletin boards for us to hang above our desks. At the moment, they’re still sitting in their packaging between our desks and I’m antsy to start pinning things on them! What things do y’all have pinned to your bulletin boards?

I think that among the wedding images that will make their way up there, a few may come from our features this week. Between happy engagements and beautiful venues, there’s a lot to keep in mind.

We are crazy excited for the talented vendors that we’re adding to our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory daily! Get to know more about our newest additions and some BRV perks here.

Emily spotted something beachy-keen this week! Sand dollar boutonnieres would be the perfect addition to your dapper groom’s suit if you’re getting married along the Southeast coast.

Who else has been anxiously awaiting the next installment of Emily Plans a Wedding? Y’all know Miss Emily is a paper-lover, so we were so excited to see her save the dates!

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve asked all y’all newly engaged couples to send your photos in to us. We were just happier than a pig in mud to see your huge smiling faces and pretty new rings! The biggest hugs and congratulations go out to our engaged readers! See them here and here.

Y’all. Where did January go? Amidst our time-flying shock, we looked back on the highlights of the first batch of 2012 Real Weddings in the Monthly Round-Up.

The Honey List is chock full of special honeymoon spots in the South and beyond. We’re really excited to welcome The Lodge & Spa at Callway Gardens to the Honey List, especially after hearing Marissa’s rave review!

We’re happy to introduce y’all to a few of the wonder sponsors in our family. Head over to our Sponsor Love post to learn more about Jenny Johnson, Flaire Weddings & Events and Kat Braman!

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery is Whitney + Jeff! We love their glam frosty-gray color scheme and pink peonies.

Real Weddings make our hearts sing!

Shelley + Greg’s pink and green Charleston wedding turned our Monday blues around! See it here and here.

Alli + Chad’s outdoor wedding was full of vintage finds and my favorite string lights! See it here and here.

Announcements for the weekend

The Fort Mill Bridal Show is taking place on Saturday, February 11! For more information and to buy tickets, check out the Carolina Project’s website.

We’re sending a big, virtual welcome hug to our newest Blue Ribbon Vendors! Welcome to the family, Alexa’s Photography, Kickstand Events, Scobey Photography, Fit to be Tied, Green Ribbon Parties, Haley Sheffield, Dylan Wilson, Shelby Peaden, A Southern Soiree and A Charleston Bride! Yeehaw!

Have a great weekend, my friends! What are your fun plans?
