It seems like spring is finally on its way to North Carolina and we couldn’t be more thrilled! While we can appreciate a snow day or two, there’s no question that long, sunny days are generally a Southerner’s happy place, and we can’t wait to pull out our Jack Rogers and Lilly Pulitzer and welcome spring. Don’t forget to change your clocks tomorrow, and enjoy that extra hour of evening sunlight!
P.S. If you’re not already signed up for the Southern Weddings newsletter, be sure to do so here–we have an exciting announcement on Monday that will go out to our subscribers first! It may or may not have to do with the Southern Weddings Planner… :)

Birmingham brides, take note! Tomorrow (March 8), Brides Against Breast Cancer is hosting a trunk sale at the Hyatt-Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel! Not only will you be able to shop for designer gowns at an amazing discount (prices range from $75-1800, with the average gown costing $600), the proceeds from your gown will go toward programs for cancer patients and their families. Weddings are expensive, and it would be so rewarding to know that this expense would be benefitting a wonderful cause! To be one of the first to see the gowns, sign up for the VIP event, which runs from 11-2, and includes snacks, beverages, and giveaways. General admission begins at 2. For more information and to purchase tickets ($20 for the VIP event, $5 for general admission), visit the Brides Against Breast Cancer website.
Have a great weekend, and congratulations to anyone getting married!
