Rise and shine, valentines! It couldn’t be anything other than a wonderful week when we’re starting out by sharing something as lovely as these Sarah Seven wedding gowns.

I think the one above is my favorite from their new Spring 2013 collection – isn’t the bodice gasp-worthy?

Sarah Seven creates dresses that are “vintage inspired but decidedly modern.” Perfect for Southern belles, don’t you think?

She uses natural fabrics, silk, wool, linens, and cotton voile as well as recycled vintage fabrics in her creations, and she also splits 5% of all sales between several charities, which we love.

Love these beautiful gowns as much as we do? Texas brides, be sure to stop by the Sarah Seven trunk show at Serendipity Bridal in Austin on July 27 and 28! I’m jealous y’all will get to admire these beauts in person.

I couldn’t resist including that last little number – wouldn’t it be amazing for the right bride? Fingers crossed she’s one of you! :)

You can see more of Sarah Seven’s designs on her site right here. Happy shopping!

    I absolutely adore the back on the third one down. Can we start making wedding dresses every day wear? Please?

      I totally agree, Kelly! We should def be able to wear these everyday! I am obsessed with the back of that dress as well!

    any information about purchasing these dresses if we’re not in texas? i am smitten with the 3rd one!!

      Hi Elizabeth! Of course! Since these dresses are all from her new collection, it doesn’t look like they’re available on her site yet (http://www.sarahsevenshop.com/). I’d check her trunk shows page (http://www.sarahseven.com/trunkshows.html) to see if there’s one coming to a city near you, and if not, I’d email them directly – they’re still a fairly small company, so I’m sure they’d be happy to help you out!

I think that every week I tell y’all that it’s V5 madness in the office, but every week, even more amazing ideas keep popping up! We’ve been swapping ideas, logistics, inspiration boards and Etsy finds like crazy! In the middle of all of this, we had to give a huge hug (and blog post, of course) to Miss Emily Ayer, our amazing Creative Director who has been with us for three years! Happy SW-versary, Em!

Aside from our going-to-be-giant V5, we’ve been cooking up some other fun features. We’re thrilled to introduce our General Store, a collection of the exact products and details y’all want for your weddings!

Summer always means a summer getaway! Take a look at our little round-up of the best escapes below the Mason-Dixon in our latest from our Summer in the South series.

Speaking of summer things, aren’t lawn games the best? Y’all know how much we love cornhole, so we’re thrilled to partner with SC Cornhole Game to giveaway three full sets! Enter here.

We may be smack in the middle of V5 work, but that doesn’t stop us from having an in-office contest! Check out our Southern Doin’s and join us! We get points for activities like eating red velvet ice cream :)

Real Weddings are our true loves.

Whitney + Sam’s New Orleans wedding helped us gain perspective on what’s important in a wedding and in a marriage. See their Southern shindig here.

Allison + Scott blew us away with their sentimental mountaintop ceremony. See their gorgeous view and read their love story here.

Malloree + Jordan’s wedding was steeped in faith, love and community. See their barn wedding here.

Hooray for good news!

Happy Friday, friends! And it is a happy Friday, indeed, because we have an awesome Minted giveaway to ring in the weekend!

As many of you know, we are big fans of Minted at Southern Weddings. I even used one of their designs for my save the date! We love that they source their fresh, modern pieces from independent graphic designers – a great way to support small business owners!

We also appreciate that they’re super into customization – they’ll switch out fonts, switch up the layout, and custom match colors, among other things. Love! In addition to wedding invitations and save the dates, Minted also offers lots of coordinating goodies, including address labels, pretty patterned backers and envelope liners, and coordinating place cards and programs.

All of that’s great news for those of y’all who still need some paper goodness for your wedding, but the even better news is that we’ve got a $200 gift certificate to give away!

Click here to be taken to the giveaway entry form to be entered to win a $200 gift certificate toward a Minted wedding suite! Be sure to enter by August 3rd!

And tell me: Have y’all ordered something from Minted? Do you love them as much as we do? So far I’ve used them for my save the dates, personal stationery, and Christmas cards, and I’m now itching to get my hands on this art print!
