Happy weekend, friends! With a temperature drop of over 50 degrees from the beginning to the end of this week, it’s safe to say that winter has arrived in the South! While I’ll readily admit my strong preference for spring flowers and summer sunshine, it’s also kind of nice to have an excuse to cozy up on the couch for an indoor date and a little wedding planning this weekend. Take a peek at past Southern Newlywed Date Night posts if you’re looking for some ideas!
Before catching up on this week, we want to mention that we know some of you have been anticipating a post series for our Married in the South project with Southern Living starting this month. We are tabling that project for now, but are very thankful for everyone who entered. We loved hearing your stories, and wish you all the very best with wedding planning! Be on the lookout for other fun collaborations with SL this year, including our two inserts in May and October!
