Those belles and beaus signed up for our monthly newsletter know we’ve been working busily away on our next issue (V6), since they saw a few sneak previews last week! Y’all know we like to make these issues a community effort, though; that’s what today’s post is all about. We have a few ways you — yes, YOU! — can help (and possibly even make an appearance in V6’s pages!), so read on + shoot us an email!
REAL WEDDINGS:
We are still looking for a few real weddings! Weddings must have taken place in the southeastern United States and must be EXCLUSIVE (i.e. not seen online anywhere aside from a private proofing gallery). Please submit following these guidelines and please include a link to a full gallery. Please note we are FULL on pink weddings at this point! :) UPDATED DEADLINE: September 20
DAPPER GENTS:
We’re looking for dapper gents of all ages in great men’s fashion — bowties, creative lapels, etc. Images do not have to be shot in the South. Ten images maximum per submission. Email your submission to [email protected] with the email subject “Dapper Gents.”
SOUTHERN IMAGES:
We’re hunting for wedding and non-wedding images that give a feel for life in the South. Email low-res previews to [email protected] and title your email “Southern Images.” Think fried chicken, porch swings, peaches, monograms, banjos… the possibilities are endless!

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY:
Readers, we are looking for your BEST tips for infusing Southern hospitality into every corner of your wedding celebration, from pre-wedding preparations right on through the rehearsal, ceremony, reception, post-wedding brunch, and even post-wedding wind-down! Email your best advice (even if it’s just a snippet) and your current city and state to [email protected] with the email subject “Hospitality Tips.” You might just appear in the magazine! :)
READER MODELS
We’re still looking for lovely reader models to participate in our last two shoots of the season! In particular, we’re looking for two sets of grandparents, two sets of parents, and a little boy for our Chapel Hill shoot on August 27. If you’re local to Atlanta, we’re also looking for African American bridesmaids to shoot with us at Serenbe on September 11. Interested or want to nominate a friend or parent? Email us at [email protected] with the subject line, “V6 North Carolina Model Call” or “V6 Atlanta Model Call.” Please attach a recent headshot, a few candids of yourself and your height. No need for professional photos, we just want to see your pretty face!
My Wedding isn’t until September 7th (getting close!) so the photos would take awhile to come back- but it meets pretty much every standard quality of weddings in your magazine! My dream would be to submit it later on! Can’t wait for V6!!!!!!! love yall!!
xoxo Jess
Sending something your way by early next week! :) xoxo
If you’ve featured a wedding on the blog can some of those photo’s be submitted for one (or a few) of the categories?
Lauren: Yes, ma’am! Just not for a print real wedding. Thanks!!
Yeah!!!!!! We’re so excited about this issue!
My photographer and event planner submitted my wedding! They knew from the beginning that besides getting married of course, my dream was to have our wedding in Southern Weddings V6!!! Fingers crossed!!!
Our wedding is Sept 28!!! Will we be eligible for V7 next year?
My photographer Carmen Ash submitted our wedding for V6! Would be SOOO excited to have it included (on the blog would be just as awesome!). Woo hoo V6!!!
