Southern Weddings

Welcome to the first ever Whit’s Picks, brought to you by me, Whitney! Every Monday, I will be showcasing a different fabulous product that I have come across during my many hours surfing the world wide web and corresponding with our always helpful readers. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!

Viola at Chewing the Cud introduced me to these beautiful, unique fabric gift wraps and I thought they would be absolutely perfect for my first pick. The fabric wraps are gifts within themselves. Each fabric includes a message: Give Luck, Give Love, Give Wisdom. How inspiring! Your gift will stand apart and look gorgeous in the Chewing the Cud Fabric Gift Wraps. But wait, there’s more! They are also entirely eco-friendly. The re-usable fabrics are all hand-printed on 100% organic cotton, with soy-based inks.

Helping the planet + Completely gorgeous + Useful & Reusable = Sheer Perfection

If you need tips on how to wrap any type of present in fabric, Furoshiki has the answer. Have fun wrapping!

The girls at Southern Weddings are all abuzz with all of the changes in the marvelous world of wedding websites.

Our uber-stylish friends over at {Style Me Pretty} recently unveiled a new site design and I love the fresh new changes. Who knew that their inspirational website could become even more of a go-to for fashion savvy brides, but with these updates, it is sure to be indispensible!

 Leila Khalil, the owner of {Be Inspired Public Relations}, has started a brand new blog giving a behind-the-scenes look into the wedding industry. {Inspired by This} is simply fascinating!

 {The Smart Planner}, bringing some of the best in wedding consulting, has undergone a name change and is now known as {Think Splendid}… their website certainly gives me splendid thoughts!

{The Bridal Bar} is opening a new branch in Atlanta, bringing along all of the Hollywood wedding secrets I’m sure they uncovered in California. Atlanta marks the third boutique for {The Bridal Bar} and their first venture into the South—make sure to stop by their new blog and take a look at pictures of their new boutique. It is simply stunning!

Last but definitely not least, our very own editor-in-chief, Lara Casey, is launching her business blog on Monday. {LaraCasey.com} will give a more personal look into the fast-paced wedding business. It is sure to be splendid.

Obviously, big things are happening in the blogosphere and we look forward to all of the great changes to come!
