Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by Lisa in Main on October 17, 2015

Happy weekend, y’all! Can I get a coffee cup cheers to Saturday? Kristin and I are in recovery mode after five days at Bridal Market, and with V8 now off at the printers (!!), I think it’s safe to say that all of the SW gals are ready for a few days of sleeping in, taking it slow, and snuggling a little extra this weekend. What are your favorite ways to unwind after a long week? Let us know in the comments, and if one of your answers is “catching up on blogs,” then see below for all of this week’s posts!

Cozy Fall: Southern Food Challenge Printable!

by Emily in Southern Newlywed on October 16, 2015

Like last week’s Cozy Fall printable (State Fair BINGO! Have you printed yours?), this week’s is designed to help you plan a fun and easy date night — or maybe more than one! In fact, we can see this challenge being a year-long endeavor. The goal? Try every Southern delicacy on the list of favorites our team compiled. Many of y’all (especially those born and bred beneath the Mason-Dixon!) will be able to check off several at the start, but we’re guessing that few of y’all will have tried every single one. (And even if you have, maybe your boyfriend/fiance/husband has not!)

Once you’ve gone through the list and figured out where you stand, decide together which foods are at the top of your list to try. Whether you scout out the best local version or try your hand at making it yourself, we guarantee there’s a cozy fall date night waiting to happen!

Happy eating, y’all!

Charleston Wedding Film by Nowsay Films

by Lisa in Wedding Films on October 16, 2015

Everyone has their own favorite part of a wedding–maybe the bride’s walk down the aisle, the exchange of vows, the first dance, or the sparkler exit. Personally, I don’t have a favorite (I love them all!!), but when it comes to wedding films, my favorite thing about them is when they make me feel like I’m there, witnessing all those moments right alongside a couple’s beloved guests. That’s why I loved Michelle and Ryan’s highlights film by Nowsay Films so very much–y’all please join me virtually at Boone Hall Plantation to enjoy this darling couple’s special day!

From the bride:

We were married on a Southern plantation in Charleston, South Carolina, and included cotton boutonnieres, dried palmettos roses, Southern cocktails and beers from local breweries, pimento cheese sliders, and shrimp and grits. Our most memorable moments were when the sun magically came out in time for our outdoor ceremony, and walking back up the aisle after being announced husband and wife and seeing that we were surrounded by all of the people we love.

What a beautiful couple! That dress is just gorgeous. Everything from the plantation wedding venue to the barn reception makes this a perfect southern wedding.
