It’s gray and dreary where we are today, but nothing, I repeat nothing, can dim the lights on our next stunning V5 editorial!! For this one, photographed to perfection by KT Merry, we were inspired by the colorful world of Lilly Pulitzer and the original Palm Beach juice stand that inspired their entire brand.

Claudia from Fig. 2 Design | Studio started things off on a perfectly cheery note with her bright stationery suite. I love that she was inspired by vintage striped beach umbrellas! The beautiful calligraphy is by Meant to Be Calligraphy.

We were lucky to work with an awesome bride and groom (pros this time!) who fit our style to a tee! And let’s all take a moment to pause and admire the jaw-dropping hand-painted backdrop that Kristy Rice of Momental Designs made for us! LOVE! Finally, we can’t ignore the awesome outfits, pulled together in perfectly preppy fashion by stylist David Fittin.

Hello, lovely lady! Alex, Shannon, and Laurie Ann modeled our Lilly Pulitzer dresses to perfection!

And let’s also take a moment and give some HUGE kudos to Matthew of 50Fifty Creative Services, who created the STUNNING florals throughout this shoot! Y’all, I know I sound over the top, but aren’t they amazing?

Our beautiful table was set in the courtyard of the Brazilian Court. Its octagonal shape was perfect for this shoot, especially since it reminded me of the stationery suite! And be sure to look out below for the custom linens, designed for us by Nuage Designs. Aren’t those corners and contrast piping gorgeous?

Love all the citrus accents! The little place cards, also by Fig. 2 | Design, are too cute :)

And now, the piece de resistance: our very own “juice” stand, set on the lawn of the Boca Raton Resort & Club. And yes, we had juice, but we also squeezed in fancy popsicles from Tropipops, popsicle cocktails, mini key lime pies, mini milkshakes, cupcake pushpops by Cupcakes Couture, and tons of other sweets dreamed up by Chocolate Pi! Our AMAZING planner and stylist, Anna from Lucia Paul Design, created the stand from scratch in addition to pulling the rest of the shoot details together!

Too sweet, am I right? Have a very colorful day, y’all, and be sure to check back later today for a bright giveaway and a behind the scenes video!

KT Merry is a fabulous member of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

    […] It is impossible to talk about a Lilly wedding without sharing pictures from the incredible styled shoot called “Freshly Squeezed” that was featured in Southern Weddings most recent issue, V5. Every detail is a riot of preppy perfection, and I love how they really played up the citrus theme, mixing plenty of yellow and orange into the pink and green.

    I absolutely love the colors, style and creativity featured in this perfect Southern Wedding. Since Lilly Pulitzer is my absolute fav, these bridemaids dresses are perfect. The monogrammed sunhats coordinate perfectly with the theme. This years monogrammed sun hats feature some great new colors, such as mint and lemon that would coordinate perfectly with this theme!

Happy Saturday, guys + gals! The Southern Weddings crew is happily enjoying the weekend after a whirlwind few days of magazine launch, magazine shipping (like crazy — more on that next week), and magazine launch party! We couldn’t resist popping in and following up on Thursday’s gorgeous Kentucky Rose shoot by sharing the behind the scenes film, however. McKenzie Miller did a beautiful job capturing the day and all the work that went into it, despite the less-than-ideal weather!

McKenzie is actually a Southern gal herself, so we were so happy to find her in upstate New York (she actually lives in the city, but traveled for the shoot!). Big hugs again to everyone who brought this shoot to life!

If you haven’t got your paws on a copy yet, be sure to pick one up here or check your nearest Walgreens, Barnes & Noble, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Walmart, and/or Target!

    That pesky horse! Haha! Love the shoot y’all!

    Just watched the lovely video of the Kentucky Rose Shoot! It was very, very pretty to watch. I was hoping I could find out who the singers are, and the name of the song! My fiance and I are a reunited couple, 35 years after our first romance. I would love to play this song, at some point in the events leading up to our wedding. I WILL make it work, just hoping you don’t mind sharing this information. Thank you, and thank you for such a beautiful site. I am a first-time visitor, and I know I will spend countless hours here!! Sincerely, Kat

  3. avatar McKenzie reply

    So happy I was able to be a part that day! Everything was gorgeous. Kathleen, the name of the song is Honey by Us and Our Daughters.

    You had a picture of monogrammed cowboy boots. Who makes them???

      Hi Kris! You can find all of the details on the monogrammed cowboy boots in the comments of this post: http://iloveswmag.com/2012/09/17/pastel-texas-wedding-by-kelly-hornberger/

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

I’m pretty sure we’re all still shaking the glitter out of our clothes and hair. We had a blast at the V5 Launch Party last night — thank you to everyone who came in to celebrate with us and to those of you who joined us virtually via UStream! Look for a party recap soon, y’all.

This week was full of post office runs and V5 features. We were thrilled to start things off with a behind-the-scenes look at our Family Heirlooms shoot.

Tuesday came along and we welcome V5 to news stands with a big post and a bigger photo contest! See details on how to enter here.

We would hate to keep you waiting even longer, so we shared more from V5’s Family Heirloom shoot.

For more behind-the-scenes action from our Family Heirloom shoot, be sure to check out this video!

Another one of our beautiful features made the blog this week! We welcomed the sweet neutrals of our Honey and Pecan shoot.

Then, we filled y’all in on our very first shoot we produced for V5, the Kentucky Rose shoot.

With all the V5 hubbub, you’d think we couldn’t possibly pile on more good news, but we did! The General Store is now open! Head over here to get the skinny.

Real Weddings are gooder than grits!

Erin + Steve’s fall wedding was a big mother-daughter effort and sweet as pie! See it here.

Whew! I’m ready for a cozy weekend in. What are y’all doing?
