Google+ Break out your bowties! Airplanes + Blazers WPPI - Southern Weddings

Southern Weddings

It’s that time of year again folks! Droves of wedding and portrait photographers (about 15,000!) are about to do their yearly invasion of Las Vegas. Las Vegas has a very special place in my heart.

This will be my third year attending the WPPI Convention and I cannot wait! Every year I’ve met so many great photographers who have since graced our blog and print editions. I can’t wait to see old friends and meet you! This year, you can find me at The Total Package, Making Things Happen…. and a very special par-tay that is sure to be Southern belle and beau approved: Airplanes and Blazers! Our party last year was a ton of fun and this year it’s getting all dressed up! Thanks to the folks at The Flashdance and loads of great sponsors, this is sure to be the highlight of WPPI. Want to get in on the action and sponsor this shindig? Email us ASAP! Want tickets? Get ’em while you can OR win a pair below…

GIVEAWAY: Want to score two free tickets AND a schnazzy Xoelle bow tie for your date to don? Follow the party fun on Twitter and leave a comment here telling us what you plan to wear. (Think Mad Men meets the red carpet meets the best party you’ve ever been to!) We’ll pick a random comment next week! See y’all in Vegas!

    I’m thinking a classic, red DVF wrap dress and some gorrrrrgeous heels :) With some red lips to match, of course!

    Red lipstick. The rest requires a little shopping trip! :)

    Definitely rocking the new lace dress! I love lace, its so old fashioned! (:

    Wow, this makes me think of the Boxers and Blazers party we have every year at school. So much fun! I would definitely wear a show stopping dress, like a little 1960s sheath with lots of sparkle. And also some comfortable shoes so I could stay on the dance floor. Or you never know, I could go all Diane Keaton and wear a nice blazer :)

  20. avatar Kellianna Wirth reply

  21. avatar ellie reply

    I have this tube top dress and the skirt part poofs, high heels that pop in a picture and bright red lipstick, with a little cardigan. OOOOO can’t wait for it

    Hmmm, I just might wear my wedding dress — it’s not what you think!

  26. avatar Braedon Flynn reply

    I think a bow tie, suspenders & a top hat should do it!

  27. avatar Brooke reply

    Gold sequen heels, gold sequen mininskirt, gold tip,
    And gold sequen headband. Can’t wait!

  28. avatar Jacqueline reply

    I just might have to buy something new to attend this party!
