Cozy Fall Style with Pretty in the Pines

by Lisa in Fashion and Style on October 20, 2015

When we asked four Southern style bloggers to style our Love Never Fails tee from the Southern Weddings Shop for fall, we didn’t really give them any direction, but somehow, every look has been totally different! We couldn’t be more thrilled, because it just goes to show how versatile a cute tee can be. Today, we have Shelby of Pretty in the Pines joining us–she’s based right down the road in Raleigh, and for these fun photos by MK Photography, she and her beau headed out to Fearrington Village for a cozy weekend picnic!

From Shelby:

One of my favorite things about fall is spending time outdoors on the weekends. The weather in October is absolutely perfect for a day walking around Fearrington Village in Pittsboro, North Carolina, just a few minutes from where I grew up. I love getting to walk around and see all of the cute Belted Galloway cows and the assortment of quaint shops and restaurants. My second favorite thing about fall is all of the cozy chunky knit sweaters and boots! My “Love Never Fails” tee paired with a cozy knit cardigan was the ideal look for a fall weekend afternoon spent outside. Drawing inspiration from the 70’s, I opted for a bright blue corduroy skirt with comfortable riding boots and warm cable-knit socks to walk around in. The simplicity of the “Love Never Fails” tee makes it a year-round closet staple, and I love how it can go with everything.

Cozy Fall Style with Whitney Blake

by Lisa in Fashion and Style on October 15, 2015

In connection with our current Cozy Fall theme, we recently asked four Southern fashion bloggers to style our favorite tee from the Southern Weddings Shop. Wearing the “Love Never Fails” tee can be such a sweet reminder of what matters most, and since it’s neutral and super soft, it can easily be dressed up or down. While Cynthia went the “dressed up” route last week and rocked the tee on date night, our Southern Bride Blogger Whitney of Whitney Blake focused on the “cozy” aspect of Cozy Fall. I love the snuggly, but still put-together, look she came up with that would be perfect for low-key evenings or casual weekend escapes!

Thanks so much to Sara Logan Photography who snapped these fun photos at the Leslie-Alford Mims House (the venue where Whitney and her beau are tying the knot next spring)!

From Whitney:

The Love Never Fails tee is one of my favorite closet staples when I want an easy, girly outfit (and need a gentle reminder that love is also patient and kind)! To transition the tee into fall, I decided to pair it with my favorite black skinnies and a glam statement necklace! I made sure that the statement necklace matched the “v” shape of the neckline, and kept in with the neutral palette of my outfit. Lastly, I pulled the look together with a pop of my favorite lipstick (NARS Schiap) and tall leather boots! Happy fall, y’all!

What a inspiring post! I love the idea of a statement necklace with the T-shirt!

Behind the Scenes of Bridal Market 2015, Part 2

by Lisa in Fashion and Style on October 14, 2015

If you’re just tuning in, be sure to see part one of our Behind the Scenes of Bridal Market 2015 recaps here!

One of the most fun things about Bridal Market is the number of “is this real life” moments, and the Marchesa presentation was definitely one of them. We arrived a few minutes early, so we headed out to the balcony for a glass of champagne and pictures with the incredible skyline in the background! We lucked out with gorgeous weather for almost the entire week, and we loved soaking it in for a few moments outside. Also, I always joke with Emily that since I manage the Southern Weddings Instagram account, I’m on my phone in every “behind the scenes” picture of me–but I think the one below is by far the most glamorous of them all. Thanks, Kat! :)

The Marchesa Fall 2016 collection was packed with stunning gowns–from lace patterns to intricate beading, the detail work was incredible. We especially loved the silhouettes they used, like that lovely peplum! You can see another one of our favorite gowns here.

We had a little break for dinner in between Marchesa and the Claire Pettibone show, but first, Kristin and Kat couldn’t resist recreating one of Kristin’s Bridal Market photos from 2012! How darling is she? We’re so grateful to have had Kat with us again this year.

While Kristin and I polished off this meal at Cookshop, as per Kat’s recommendation, she headed to The Prince George Ballroom to shoot backstage before the Claire Pettibone show. Claire’s show is definitely a highlight every year–the gowns are like works of art, the styling is incredible, and the venue is always magical. This year was no exception, and we loved seeing these moments Kat captured leading up to the action!

I can’t blame y’all for picking Marchesa & Claire Pettibone to highlight in this post. They were serious wonders to me this NYBFW! The lace work and the embellishments and the detailing from these bridal houses just made me giddy.
