We have always believed that the most precious wedding details are the ones that are passed down through generations–loving reminders of those who came before us, and the love stories that formed our family trees. Sometimes, though, what a family passes down isn’t a “thing”–it’s a recipe, a saying, or a pearl of wisdom, and those treasures are just as important and significant. These ideas inspired our Family Treasures shoot in Florida, photographed by Jessica Lorren and styled by Sarah Tucker Events. Be sure to pick up a copy of V7 to see more!

I’m not usually one for beaded gowns, but I love the delicate sparkle of this Hayley Paige design! It paired perfectly with custom bridesmaid tops by Camilyn Beth and the most delicate tulle skirts from Alexandra Grecco.

This silhouette gallery by Jenny Lee Fowler is the loveliest tribute to an artform that has been around since the early 18th century. Have silhouettes created for your family members or bridal party to introduce these special people to your guests!

A hand-painted table runner tied all of these lovely pastel details together, and didn’t compete with the mostly-white centerpieces. Mismatched vintage china in our color palette from Dishie Rentals completed the look!

We’re delighted that a real couple, newlyweds themselves, posed as our bride and groom! Their seaside portraits couldn’t be sweeter.

    Just got my copy of the magazine in the mail and really wish the images from this editorial had received more page-space in the physical mag, instead of the shopping suggestions. I purchased it specifically in hopes of getting large-scale shots of the featured gown!

After collecting and sharing almost a full year’s worth of marriage advice, one common thread we’ve noticed is that oftentimes, the “secret” to marriage is simple, and Debbie and Gregg sum it up perfectly. “I guess our secret is that we respect each other. We are kind to each other and don’t take each other for granted.” While this advice is sometimes much easier said than done, it’s comforting to know that when push comes to shove, a marriage that has respect, kindness, and gratitude at its core is one to be very proud of.

Wedding date: September 3, 1972
Children? Two beautiful daughters and two adorable grandsons
When did you know he was the one? I actually had a marriage proposal from another guy (who, ironically, was also named Gregg). That’s a whole other story, but I had just started dating my Gregg and I knew that he was the type of man that I wanted to marry. He had integrity and was a good Christian man.
What’s your favorite wedding memory? My favorite memory is of our friends gathering around us and praying for us.
What’s the secret to your marriage? I guess our secret is that we respect each other. We are kind to each other and don’t take each other for granted.
What’s your favorite thing to do together? We like to explore new places together–historical places or little towns.
What’s your best memory related to Southern food or the South? When the whole family gathers for a Low shrimp boil.

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

We have been counting down the days till this week all year long, and we are overjoyed that our two giant projects of the year are finally out in the world!! We poured our hearts into V7 and the Southern Weddings Planner, and nothing makes us happier than seeing your copies of the magazine pop up on our #SWV7 hashtag. We hustled to get all of our preorders out the door, and are thrilled that so many of you have your copies in hand! If you haven’t been able to find V7 on newsstands yet, keep checking back–it sometimes takes a few days for stores to put out their stock, but it should be any day now. We promise it’s worth the wait! :)
