Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Happy Friday, my fellow weekend-lovers! I’m quite pleased that my Saturday and Sunday will consist of eating chocolate chip pancakes, reorganizing my apartment (y’all know how much I love to organize), and helping a friend with her wedding invitations (fun!!). What will you be up to?

Since it’s the month of love, we thought we’d start off our monthly #SouthernDoin challenges with something sweet!

Bow Tie maker, Mo was among one of our favorite Southern Gent features in V5. We love his take on men’s fashion and what it means to be a Southern Gent! Get to know him here.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, we decided to take to the blog with one of our favorite things: love letters. This week, Emily writes to the house she and John are under contract to buy.

Real Weddings take the cake!

Andrea + Josh’s Earth Day wedding incorporated many handmade items and sweet Southern details. See it here.

Britney + Chris’s soft garden-inspired wedding had us swooning over the details and the great advice B had to give. See it here.

Caroline + Chaz’s V5 wedding never gets old to us! Their sweet love story and fun picnic reception cannot be forgotten. See it here and here.

Paige + Brian’s pink and white wedding was joyful and sweet. We can’t get enough of the adorable moments captured on camera! See it here.

Before you head out for the weekend, be sure to check out the sweet as pie engagement session on our Facebook Friday from Jennifer Blair!

Happy weekend, friends!

Happy Friday, belles! The Southern Weddings ladies recently had the chance to attend the Carolina Inn Bridal Showcase right here in our hometown of Chapel Hill (you can see a few photos here!). “Bridal fairs” often get a bad rap, but they’ve come so far in recent years, and there are now lots of great options for y’all! We’re so happy to introduce you to a really unique one today: Southern Wedding Experience: B… The Event.

Of course, with a name like that, you know they’re going to be up our alley! Though we’re not affiliated with them, we love the sound of what they do — it’s really quite different from anything we’ve ever heard of!

The Southern Wedding Experience is geared toward brides who are planning a destination wedding, or a wedding in a destination market. It brings together a select group of wedding professionals for a series of five-star weekends of pampering, planning, and information-sharing in the Southeast’s most charming, wedding-friendly destinations: Savannah, Asheville, Nashville, and Atlanta. The first event, in Savannah, is coming up soon — March 1-3!

After three days, the goal is for each bride to leave with a vision for her wedding, decisions on venue and vendors, and important info for planning the event, all while in a vacation-like atmosphere! For the Savannah weekend, you’ll visit top venues including the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel, the Mansion on Forsyth Park, and Savannah Station, and each location will be decked out with designs to inspire by the best local vendors. National experts Stacie Francombe, Shawn Rabideau, and Brooke Thomas will also be on hand to dish out wedding tips and advice. On top of all that wedding goodness, there will be gourmet meals, a styled fashion show, and chances to sit down with the best vendors in the Southeast!

Ready to go? Here’s the itinerary for the Savannah event, and here’s all of the ticket information.

Not in Savannah? The Southern Wedding Experience is coming to Asheville on August 2-4, Nashville November 15-17, and Atlanta February 28-March 2, 2014!

You can find out more about all of the events here. Happy planning, friends!

    Ohh that sounds great! I hope they do one in Charleston. I wouldn’t exactly say our wedding is going to be a “destination” wedding since we live here, but it definitely is a popular destination for many people!

This month, in honor of all things love, we’ll be sharing a valentine a week from an SW gal. Emily is up first, and this is her love letter to the house she and John are under contract to buy.

Have you caught the love letter bug? Check out More Love Letters, an organization after our own hearts. Their goal? To turn your best love letter into a lamp to light the path of someone who needs to read it. Find out more here.
