Southern Weddings

Author: Lisa

This is a very exciting time in the Southern Weddings office! Gorgeous images from our V6 photo shoots, dreamy real weddings, lots of Southern images, and the prettiest of surcees are rolling into our office daily, and Nicole is already hard at work creating beautiful pages. Y’all may have seen a sneak peek or two if you follow us on Instagram, but I have to reiterate–this issue is going to be a good one. We can’t wait to share it in November!

Even though we have been wrapped up in all things V6 lately, we all still thumb through copies of V5 regularly. There is so much wonderful, meaningful, Southern inspiration in those pretty pages! We are so happy to announce that you can now flip through all of the V5 goodness yourself whenever you want, because V5 is now digital! Click here to take a look. Of course, we also still have plenty of copies available to purchase in the Southern Weddings Shop, along with V4 and V2.

As a little refresher of what can be found in V5, or an introduction if you’re new to Southern Weddings, here are a few favorite shots from some V5 editorials!

The Yellow Rose of Texas, photographed by Ryan Ray Our V5 cover was taken from this lovely shoot!

My Kentucky Rose, photographed by Jen Huang. This picture is framed in the stairwell leading up to the SW office, so we see it every day!

Family Heirlooms, photographed by Eric Kelley. This shoot will definitely go down in history as a Southern Weddings favorite.

Freshly Squeezed, photographed by KT Merry. This colorful shoot was inspired by an iconic Southern favorite, Lilly Pulitzer.

Blue Ribbon Bounty, photographed by Joey and Jessica. A dozen Southern pies were used in the making of this fun shoot!

This is just a tiny sampling of the goodness found in V5, so be sure to take a look at the digital edition for lots more! We’d love to hear–what’s your favorite part of V5?

There are few things we love more than stories of true, life-long love — yes, even more than weddings! That’s why we couldn’t resist sharing this video that has been making its rounds on the internet lately — if y’all haven’t seen it yet, now is the time to sit down with some tissues and take a look. Fred Stobaugh is a 96-year-old gentleman who entered an online singer-songwriter contest (via a manila envelope in the mail) on a whim, after penning a tune for his late wife, Lorraine. This touching video by Green Shoe Studio tells the whole story of how “Sweet Lorraine” came to be…

Where do we even begin? This is the kind of love that we live for around here. It is truly inspiring to see the way Green Shoe Studio turned this song into such a beautiful tribute, and then gave the world the opportunity to celebrate Fred and Lorraine’s love story. Whether you’re newly engaged or have been married for decades, we hope this touched your heart the way it touched ours!

If you’re in the mood for some more sweet videos, take a look at our past wedding films here.

    Oh my goodness. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, and it’s one of my favorite Southern Weddings posts. The kind of love Fred and Sweet Lorraine shared is the reason why I love weddings. Thank you for sharing this and for making me cry! : )

    This is so much sweeter than anything I have ever heard… Thank you so much for sharing this Lisa! These days life-long love seems to be a distant memory, it is such a precious gift. Life-long love isn’t about the extravagance of the wedding but it’s in the fullness of a marriage through God. Bless y’all, happy monday:)

    […] grandparents have been married for over 70 years, and this video I found on Southern Weddings of Fred and his Sweet Lorraine sums up the meaning of marriage to me. In the end, it’s about building a beautiful life filled […]

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

Happy September, friends! Maybe this is due to the fact that this is my first fall out of school, but I still think September feels like the start of something new. That is definitely the case here in the SW office! V6 is wrapping up with only two shoots to go, and there are some other exciting things happening this fall that we can’t wait to share with you. In the meantime, let’s take a look back at the wonderful features (seriously, so much good advice!) and lovely weddings on the blog this week!

Can y’all believe it has been almost a year since Emily got married? In light of her upcoming first anniversary, she compiled a list of traditional and modern anniversary gifts, which you can find here. (P.S. Part two of this feature is coming up next week!)

One of the trickiest areas of modern wedding etiquette to navigate, for brides, grooms and guests alike, is what to do with all of our technology. Emily broke down what’s appropriate and what’s not, from ways to request an unplugged ceremony to hashtag signs at receptions. See it here.

Kristin shared her third “Hint for a Happy Marriage” with “Put on Your Spouse’s Shoes” (No, that doesn’t mean sharing your monogrammed Jack Rogers with your groom!). Don’t miss her wonderful advice here.

We love Real Weddings!

Candice and John were married at John’s beautiful family home in a celebration full of elegant details. See it here.

Abby and Sam switched from a destination wedding in the Bahamas to a surprise wedding in their hometown! So fun! See it here.

We love the way Augusta and Jordan celebrated the bounty of the South by including lots of fresh peaches in their wedding decor. They were the perfect complement to all of the other pretty peach details! See it here.

Kate and Tanner drew inspiration for their glamorous Texas wedding from one of the most meaningful places–their rose gold wedding rings. See it here.

Last but not least!

We’re sharing a lovely engagement session by Amanda Castle for Facebook Friday! Stop by our Facebook page to take a look.

The NotWedding is coming up in Athens, Georgia on September 12! If you’re not familiar with the NotWedding, it’s a completely unique bridal show alternative in the form of a faux ceremony and full reception. “Wedding guests” get to experience the talents of so many vendors that come together for this event firsthand! Find more information and buy your tickets here.

We love seeing pictures after our sweet Southern Bride Bloggers get married! Congratulations, Dori and Skylar! See more of their pictures by J&J Photography here.

Have a happy weekend!
