It is a very exciting weekend around these parts–this Sunday, one of our dear friends and Blue Ribbon Vendor photographers is headed down to Chapel Hill to take our V8 team photos! 99.9 percent of the time, our jobs are desk jobs just like many of yours, but one day a year, we cherish the opportunity to dress up and spend time together in front of the camera. Right after our team photos, we’ll be kicking off our second annual team retreat at The Carolina Inn, so follow along on Instagram–we’re excited to share two days of digging deep into our mission and the culture of the South with y’all! (There may or may not be some dance parties to share too, if last year was any indication!)

I think every Southern gal dreams about a “blush and bashful” wedding á la Steel Magnolias at least once in her life, and for the ladies who make that a reality at their weddings, Donna Morgan has some gorgeous shades for your bridesmaids’ dresses! Along with traditional Blush, they also have a pretty color called Petal, which looks like a cross between pale pink and the softest lavender. Dresses in Petal are available in both long and short styles ranging from strapless to one-shoulder to sleeveless, so there’s bound to be something your ladies will love! Find all of the styles online here.
Have a lovely weekend, and congratulations to anyone getting married, including our Southern Bride Blogger, Allison!
Gorgeous Photos! Love!
