Happy September, friends! Maybe this is due to the fact that this is my first fall out of school, but I still think September feels like the start of something new. That is definitely the case here in the SW office! V6 is wrapping up with only two shoots to go, and there are some other exciting things happening this fall that we can’t wait to share with you. In the meantime, let’s take a look back at the wonderful features (seriously, so much good advice!) and lovely weddings on the blog this week!
Can y’all believe it has been almost a year since Emily got married? In light of her upcoming first anniversary, she compiled a list of traditional and modern anniversary gifts, which you can find here. (P.S. Part two of this feature is coming up next week!)
One of the trickiest areas of modern wedding etiquette to navigate, for brides, grooms and guests alike, is what to do with all of our technology. Emily broke down what’s appropriate and what’s not, from ways to request an unplugged ceremony to hashtag signs at receptions. See it here.
Kristin shared her third “Hint for a Happy Marriage” with “Put on Your Spouse’s Shoes” (No, that doesn’t mean sharing your monogrammed Jack Rogers with your groom!). Don’t miss her wonderful advice here.
We love Real Weddings!
Candice and John were married at John’s beautiful family home in a celebration full of elegant details. See it here.
Abby and Sam switched from a destination wedding in the Bahamas to a surprise wedding in their hometown! So fun! See it here.
We love the way Augusta and Jordan celebrated the bounty of the South by including lots of fresh peaches in their wedding decor. They were the perfect complement to all of the other pretty peach details! See it here.
Kate and Tanner drew inspiration for their glamorous Texas wedding from one of the most meaningful places–their rose gold wedding rings. See it here.
Last but not least!
We’re sharing a lovely engagement session by Amanda Castle for Facebook Friday! Stop by our Facebook page to take a look.
The NotWedding is coming up in Athens, Georgia on September 12! If you’re not familiar with the NotWedding, it’s a completely unique bridal show alternative in the form of a faux ceremony and full reception. “Wedding guests” get to experience the talents of so many vendors that come together for this event firsthand! Find more information and buy your tickets here.

Great movie, love it!
So sweet and touching! Thank you for sharing their story!
Oh my goodness. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, and it’s one of my favorite Southern Weddings posts. The kind of love Fred and Sweet Lorraine shared is the reason why I love weddings. Thank you for sharing this and for making me cry! : )
This is so much sweeter than anything I have ever heard… Thank you so much for sharing this Lisa! These days life-long love seems to be a distant memory, it is such a precious gift. Life-long love isn’t about the extravagance of the wedding but it’s in the fullness of a marriage through God. Bless y’all, happy monday:)
