Southern Weddings

We’re back with more love for the beyond-awesome sponsors of Southern Weddings magazine!  We’ve gotten a lot of great feedback about the November issue, but one thing we were thrilled to hear was how much everyone loved the ads this time.  We couldn’t agree more: the newest issue is dotted with some truly beautiful ads and we are so grateful to be working with these talented vendors!  Thank you to each of our advertisers who helped make this issue a little more fabulous:

Coren Moore

Finally!  A brides and maids collection for the true Southern bride!   Classic shapes in fresh, fun colors and ultra-Southern fabrics (think seersucker, eyelet and silk shantung) make the Coren Moore frocks an easy choice for oceanfront ceremonies and sophisticated soirees alike.  We loved the Coren Moore brides + maids collection so much, we just had to feature their frocks in our fabulous WaterColor feature.  Peruse the entire Coren Moore line here!

Rae Leytham Photography

SW loves us some Rae Leytham Photography – so much so that we made sure to feature their work in our premier issue!  A husband and wife duo defying the typical photographer stereotype, Wes + Rae Leytham have photographed weddings from Hawaii to Savannah to beautiful upstate New York.  Famous for the energy they bring to every wedding, Wes +Rae have worked diligently to develop a skill that uses cameras and lighting to make their images works of art.  Make sure you check out their website here and follow their ultra-fun blog here!

Ann Whittingon Events

Ann Whittington’s slogan – Events for Rockstars, Royalty and You – says it all!  A twenty-year veteran of the hospitality industry with planning and managerial experience at The Ritz Carlton, The Lancaster Hotel and Brennan’s Restaurant, Ann Whittington has produced events for European royalty, heads of state, and sports and stage celebrities, and now she’s ready to plan your wedding!  What makes Ann among the best in the business is her unique ability to match the style of an event to her clients’ personalities.  Learn more about Ann’s services and design inspiration here!

We like Brooke Schwab Photography.  A lot.  Modern, romantic and emotional, Brooke Schwab’s style is a SW and fan favorite alike.   (A quick peek at her website and blog quickly shows why!)  To learn more about Brooke and her amazing work, visit our first Sponsor Love post here.

Shelby Peaden Events

Shelby is one of the sweetest, most capable planners you will ever have the pleasure of working with.  We should know – she was a lifesaver at the WaterColor shoot for our November issue!  Every time we needed something (paperclip, plastic bag, pair of scissors…) the item in question always seemed to materialize in the well-stocked trunk of her car!  We know she would be even more prepared on your wedding day.  Shelby is based in Pensacola, FL and available for both full planning and day-of coordination.
