Fall Wedding Inspiration from Dogwood Events

by in Inspirations, Main on

Before we unleash the goodness that is the V5 editorials beginning next week, we wanted to sneak in one more shoot that was submitted to us! This one, dreamed up by Dogwood Events and jem events, is just perfect for this time of year — warm and rustic, with deep, beautiful colors. Big thanks to Djijo Studios for the lovely photos, too!

An apple cider bar – YUM! I love the apples in the centerpieces, too!

Cinnamon sticks at each place setting would smell amazing, wouldn’t they? Big impact for such an inexpensive detail.

A little more from the planner and stylist:

This October, we got together with an amazing team of wedding professionals for a fun vintage rustic fall inspiration shoot at Riverside on the Potomac in Leesburg, VA. We wanted to show engaged couples that you can create a relaxed, rustic look for your wedding that can still look elegant and won’t end up breaking the bank. We searched for a location that not only had a gorgeous barn, but gorgeous landscaping and views as well. With a renovated barn overlooking the Potomac River and endless amounts of photo opportunities, Riverside on the Potomac was the perfect location for us to shoot.

Thanks again, y’all!

    Love the apples! Any combination of fruit, nuts, berries wheat, or corn would honor my dad. I`m a little long in the tooth to do such but even I can dream. Sure did enjoy these flowers! Thanks for the memories.

Introducing Southern Weddings Volume 5!

by in Main, News on

It’s here! It’s here, y’all!! Today, the Southern Weddings office is in proud possession of the very first printed (though not bound) copy of V5, and we couldn’t be more excited about it!! As you can see, there’s a good reason we wanted to show you a photo of an actual copy instead of the PDF we’ve been staring at for the past few weeks…

Yes, that’s gold foil! Shiny, happy, metallic gold in honor of our fifth anniversary issue and all of the true, treasured love stories we’ve been privileged to share. It’s just delightful in person, y’all. Can’t wait for you to see for yourself!!

Because guys and gals? We could not be more excited about this cover! Those beaming smiles just jump off the page at you, don’t they?! So much joy and life! AND, none of those ladies had modeled a day in their life before Ryan Ray pointed a camera at them, which is pretty awesome in our book. We love celebrating real love, and nothing embodies that better than these lovely ladies.

Save


Pin it

So yes, huge hugs, high fives, and hearty congratulations are in order for Mr. Ryan Ray, because we are so delighted and grateful to have his work gracing our cover! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more talented guy. And of course, major air kisses are being blown to his Texas partner in crime, Stefanie Miles of Lavender Joy Weddings, who styled and coordinated the cover and corresponding editorial! (Can’t WAIT for you to see THAT, by the way!) The last of our cover accolades goes to the exquisitely talented Lindsay Sherbondy of Lindsay Letters, who penned our fifth anniversary seal. We are so thankful to have her work gracing this issue!

As for what happens next? After a slight delay due to Superstorm Sandy, thousands upon thousands of sunny yellow magazines will be winging their way across the South to arrive on newsstands on Tuesday, November 13! Our office pallet is expected to arrive on Saturday or Monday, and we’ll be turning around the mountains of pre-orders just as quickly as we can.

In the meantime, though, let us know what you think!! After weeks of staring at this beauty, we’re tickled pink to finally be sharing it with y’all! I don’t know about you, but I literally still squeal every time I see it :)

P.S. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, you can of course still do that here!

Are y’all counting down with us? There are only five days left until V5 arrives and our tails are practically wagging!

Among the big days we’re counting down to, the holidays top our list, too. After all, Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks away, and that means we can officially begin decorating and celebrating! (Right, Em?)

One of our favorite parts of the season is organizing and holding our annual events. We’re really excited to get the ball rolling on our fourth annual ornament swap and are already brainstorming some crafty ideas! We had an amazing swap last year (take a look at our recap here) and would love for y’all to participate! Take a look at the directions below. Whether you intend to hand make the ornaments you send out or buy some adorable ones, just make sure they’re as Southern as possible and email Emily by Monday, November 19!

Last year, we were super excited to hold our very first Gingerbread Barn Building Competition. Dozens of our wonderful readers (donning Christmas aprons, no less), gathered with us at the Carolina Inn to frost, assemble, decorate (and eat) the best gingerbread barn below the Mason-Dixon. This year, we’re determined to put our improved frosting skills to the test. Join us, won’t you? All you have to bring is your game face. RSVP by emailing me with “Gingerbread Barn Building” in the subject line.

I’m really excited for the coming weeks and getting the chance to meet more of you! We’ll be keeping you updated on these events as the countdown to the holidays commences, so keep an eye open for them!
