Southern Inspiration: Soft Peach and Blue

by in Color Palettes and Inspiration Boards, Main on

Our final treat for the day is this soft and pretty Southern inspiration board! Since August is the peak of peach ripeness, Nicole and I wanted to do something that celebrated the fruit’s gorgeous hue while still being unexpected. I think peach looks lovely paired with a soft blue, don’t you think? Read on for all the sources, and be sure to check back next Monday for Nicole’s color palette finds!

The Ultimate Southern Escort Card Finalists: Beeology101

by in Inspirations, Main on

The next finalist in our Ultimate Southern Escort Card Challenge is the fine folks at Beeology. They teamed up with photographer Jill Higgins to put together another delicious-sounding escort card idea. In their words, they are “totally Southern and sweet as honey.”

From the Beeology team:

“Wedding guests pick up their escort cards along with a tube of tasting honey from Beeology101. Once seated at their table, they get to taste the honey. Beeology101’s tasting tubes are labeled with batch numbers that can be looked up online to find information about the honey, the beekeeper who produced it, and other fun details. The tasting tubes were simply inserted into chicken wire so that they were standing upright.”

Thank you so much Brian and Jill! Readers, if you love this idea, be sure to let us know in the comments! And remember, you’re welcome to give a vote of support to more than one concept.

The Ultimate Southern Escort Card Finalists: Emily Steffen

by in Inspirations, Main on

Howdy, ladies! We have a really fun week coming up, where we’ll be unveiling the top ten finalists in our first Ultimate Southern Challenge. A few weeks back we asked y’all to submit your best ideas for the most Southern and inspiring escort card design, and we were blown away by the submissions! We’ve decided to post the top ten this week, and the winner (who gets Southern Weddings bragging rights!) will be determined by reader popularity (i.e. the number of comments on their post) and the opinion of the SW editors. So let’s get cracking!

First up is photographer and all around crafty gal Emily Steffen, who submitted adorable homemade barbecue sauce and spice rub escort cards!

From Emily:

I imagined a backyard wedding with the couples’ favorite food and desserts to share! So, why not use their favorite BBQ sauce and rub to double as a gift and escort card for the guests?

Materials: vintage milk jars, corks (JoAnn Fabrics), small baggies for spice rub (JoAnn Fabrics), paper for printed tags, twine or ribbon of choice, barbecue sauce (family recipe), spiced seasoning rub (family recipe)

Thank you so much, Emily! Your escort card idea sounds absolutely delicious. Readers, if you love Emily’s idea, please chime in in the comments! This isn’t really voting, per say, so you’re welcome to comment on more than one finalist.

We’ll be back with our next ideas soon!

      Kirby {Colors of Honey}: I love this idea. We are actually doing this for our wedding. My fiancé makes his own BBQ sauce that he calls Laurens Sauce. Does anyone know where to get jars that we could use for this?
