Southern Weddings

Behind the scenes, we’re dreaming up some V5 awesomesauce for y’all. Our days are now spent filling emails to each other with exclamation marks as we trade ideas. (Seriously. I wish I could show you the email Emily sent me on Tuesday.) Are you getting pumped for this issue to drop?? There’s still a few months between now and then, so we thought we might give you something equally exciting to look forward to: our V5 Model Call!

This time, we’re actually traveling up North to New York for a gorgeous shoot. Available on May 21 in Vernon, NY? Send us your photo! See the details here.

On a calmer note, we started off this week with a refreshing twist on springtime pastels. Emily’s Southwest Agave inspiration board was just what we needed.

Y’all Southerners know about that elusive Southern bump (and Marissa’s favorite hair do ever)! She’s sharing some lovely inspiration and a few tips on how to get the perfect pouf.

We love when beautiful weddings are paired with sweet meaning and memories. That’s why we couldn’t resist giving away a copy of Matthew Robbin’s Inspired Weddings! Go here to enter.

Emily ducked out of work a little early on Tuesday to head to her first gown fitting (eek!!) and we know she’ll look gorgeous. However, we have been quite curious about what her fiance is going to wear when Emily meets him at the alter. The answer? It’s quite dapper and it was a score!

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery is Suzanne + Keith. We just adore their wedding, but love their story even more.

Real Weddings are marvelous!

Amelia + Dan’s Charleston wedding was a bit nontraditional but showed off their personality! See it here.

Crystal + Trip’s pink country wedding was equal parts preppy and romantic. See it here.

Ansley + Carlton’s wedding reminded us of the best of the South: spending time with family and friends (and delicious food). See it here.
