Southern Weddings

Monthly Archives: January 2013

Hello, friends! We’re actually planning to post a little updated guide to the world of Southern Weddings this week because we know there are lots of y’all joining us for the first time (or, at least, joining us for the first time as officially engaged ladies – ha!). We’ll focus on all the nooks and crannies of SW then, but today, we just wanted to highlight one particular nook — our Southern Bride Bloggers!

We love promoting these ladies because they give you something that we generally can’t. Yep, we’ve got the resources to share stunning real weddings and offer expert advice (side note — etiquette posts are making a comeback in 2013 – WHOO!), but, aside from our Southern Bride of the Month series and the occasional SW gal getting married, we don’t share the step-by-step of an average bride’s walk to the altar. But these ladies do, in great Southern style, and we’d love for you to check them out! You can see the full list right here.

Of course, we’re always looking for new belles to add to the list! We look for brides currently planning a wedding in the Southeastern United States that blog at least once a week. If you fit the bill and are interested, just leave a comment here with your blog address and a little about yourself and we’ll take a look at your site. Make sure you include a valid email in your comment so we can send over your badge!

Happy planning to all!

    I’m just three months away from marrying my high school sweetheart and started documenting a little of the planning process: filesofpdf.blogspot.com. I don’t blog every week but I wish I did! :)

    I’m engaged to the most wonderul man in the world (sorry ladies!). I’m blogging each step of our wedding planning to keep not just family and friends in the loop, but anyone else who is planning too! We’re getting married in SC in August (7 months, whew!) and couldn’t be more excited about it. We live in Charlotte right now and will be making our way a little farther South after our nuptials. My blog has included everything so far from venue searching to bridesmaid gifts to suits for the boys and of course, my gorgeous gown. Take a peek and let me know what you think!

    I’m not exactly a bride, but a bride’s mom that blogs. My site was inspired by my own daughter’s wedding that was featured in V%…Hailey and Rhet! Would love to be on your list!

    I recently got engaged and it was completely unexpected. I am not getting married until June 28, 2014, but I am doing a lot of planning now because living in Raleigh, things get booked up quickly!

    I’m a born and raised Carolina girl who is in the process of juggling life planning a wedding in May of 2013 to my high school sweet heart while also navigating my last year of college and the job search! I’ve had my lifestyle blog for a few years and have recently added posts about the progress of my wedding planning and am planning on consciously adding more in the new year!

    I’m an avid Southern Wedding blog reader and fairly obsessed with all things wedding :) To be a bride to the love of my life is probably one of the most exciting things EVER! Matt and I have been together almost 6 years and we’re getting married this July in Virginia. I can’t WAIT to be his wife :) I started randomly blogging wedding updates on our wedding website last year. My 2013 resolution is to blog EVERY day leading up to the wedding. I’ve always loved READING wedding blogs and I think it’s time I try a hand at being consistent with it! Emily’s post about writing down everything that happened on her wedding day really struck me – SO much time is going into this and it’s going to go by SO fast. Blogging is a great way to not only help other brides & wedding obsessed ladies, but to remind me in the months to come of all that’s happening! I’d love to add the “southern bride blogger” badge to my “little details” wedding blog :)

    Thanks!!

    I’d love to join this! I read every post, but I don’t live in the South. I’m from the Chicago area, but my tastes all revolve around southern charm and taste! Maybe if you open your parameters a bit I could join in and grab a badge. :)

I would love to join in!!! Thanks so much :)

    Hi! I have barely scratched the service with my wedding planning and while I used to blog all the time I took a year long break but now that I am engaged I am getting back into it! I would love for you to look at my website and if you are interested feel insured that it will get a little more exciting around those parts pretty soon! :)

    Is there a group for southern newlyweds? I recently got married and have been sharing many of my wedding DIY as well as photos from my wedding. Just let me know!

There’s something innately dramatic about the classic bridal white and tuxedo black pairing, and though most weddings have a hint of that palette in the stars of the show, I love when something so simple and sophisticated gets extended across an entire celebration. That’s why we’re so happy to have the ladies of Atrendy Wedding here today with some gorgeous B&W Southern details for us to swoon over!

To begin with, isn’t that polka dot pocket square dapper?

The lovely bride’s gown is “Mika” by Modern Trousseau, and all of her accessories, except the necklace, are from Erin Cole, while that gorgeous statement piece is by Desla Couture. Everything was picked out and sourced by Hitched!

Wouldn’t this idea be so fun in a reception powder room? I think a huge part of wedding details is creating little surprises and delights for your guests throughout the day, and this lipstick and pearls station would definitely qualify!

Not to be outdone, the gents have their own station, complete with bow ties for those who might be lacking and a few reminders on gentlemanly behavior.

I love this idea so much. Weddings are all about celebrating family, and while I always enjoy a good photo display at any celebration I attend, I often wish I knew a little bit more about the people in the photos! Little signs (try place card holders for the stands) would clear things up in style.

A few more sweet details to finish us off, beautiful captured by Nessa K Photography:

Check back later this week, because we’ll be sharing a Texas real wedding that seems inspired by this very shoot!

Atrendy Wedding is a fabulous member of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Happy 2013, friends! Have y’all made your list of resolutions and finished off all of the leftover Christmas cookies? Or resolved to finish all of the leftover Christmas cookies?

Celebrating New Year’s this week called for a big helping of our Southern Delicacies column, where Marissa shared the luck that Hoppin’ John brings us.

With a year full of big milestones and more sweet tea and biscuits than we can remember, we posted the Southern Weddings 2012 Year in Review.

We took a look back at our favorite Real Wedding details from 2012. The best of our 2012 accessories ranged from the bold to the fun and the personalized.

Then, ten of our favorite Southern ceremonies.

Ten of the best Southern details in 2012.

A big serving of our favorite Real Weddings sweets.

Finally, our ten favorite photographs from 2012.

It’s about time we continue the Christmas giving spirit with a round-up of our 12 Days of Southern Weddings Christmas winners!

Before y’all head out for the weekend, be sure to check out today’s Facebook Friday with Anna Kirby!

Go forth and enjoy the weekend, y’all!
