Hi y’all! I hate to interrupt the Southern escort card parade for even a moment, but I wanted to break in and tell you about a few last minute print things I think you’ll want to hear.

REAL WEDDINGS!

In our effort to assemble the most WONDERFUL collection of real Southern weddings for your reading enjoyment and planning inspiration, we are looking for ONE additional real wedding for V4. I will say that the bar has been set EXTREMELY high by the ten weddings we’ve already confirmed, so please, only send your best! Photographers, please first read our FAQ page and then send submissions straight to me (emily at iloveswmag dot com). Weddings must have taken place in the Southeastern United States. I look forward to seeing what you’ve got!

BOW TIES!

Let’s just say there will be some MAJOR bow tie goodness coming your way in V4. Photographers, if you have a fabulous photo of gents rocking bows, please send it our way for consideration within the next 24 hours. Please send submissions to howdy at iloveswmag dot com with the subject line BOWTIES. We will be sure to let you know if we’re able to use your image!

PRINT ADS!

Lastly, Whitney asked me to remind y’all that you only have a few (as in, fewer than I can count on one hand) days to get your ad in V4! V4 is looking SO gorgeous, gals, and we can’t wait to share. If you’d like to be a part of the festivities, just fill out this form and Whitney will be in touch!

Now, carry on with the Southern goodness!

Written with love by Emily

Be a bride currently planning a wedding in the Southeastern United States that blogs at least two times a week!

For those who are curious, this is separate from our Southern Bride of the Month feature. You’re welcome to apply to both, of course, but you don’t have to have a blog or be a Southern Bride Blogger to be a Southern Bride of the Month! To see how to become an SBOM, click here.

Can’t wait to hear from y’all!

I am full of southern pride, born and raised in Texas and currently living in Georgia. I am engaged to my fiance, Justin and planning our wedding while balancing my small business! I love all things wedding and started my own invitation company in Atlanta, GA. Separate from my business, I blog atleast three times a week about all different wedding inspirations and trends. I love expressing my ideas and plans for myself and for my readers! Oh, and I love Southern Weddings Magazine! :)

Jeannine @ Small & Chic Home July 14, 2011 reply

I don’t know if I fit…I’ve had a design blog for a few years and started blogging about my wedding planning back in November. Every post isn’t about the wedding…but many of them are. :)

I’m in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Lisa July 14, 2011 reply

I’m from Virginia, living in Texas, and proud to be a Southern belle! I’m not engaged (yet!), but I blog about weddings every day on http://something-pretty.net :)
Kelsey (from the first post) July 14, 2011 reply

I didn’t read the part about “a little bit about you”…
I’m a born and raised North Carolinian and couldn’t be happier living in the South. I love planning our wedding but even more that my fiance is a big help – he even posts on our blog sometimes! I love the idea that the inspiration I post for my own wedding can help other brides with theirs! :)
Veronica July 14, 2011 reply

Hi! My name is Veronica, not engaged (yet) but I am sporting a beautiful promise ring on my left hand! I am from Fort Worth, Texas and just started a blog earlier this week called “Ring By Spring?” The future fiance and I are already planning our wedding and even have a date set! I plan on blogging every few days about my relationship with my boyfriend up until our wedding day which is exactly 709 days from today. In the blog I write about what we have experienced while dating, getting engaged and planning our wedding.

Jamie P July 15, 2011 reply

I’m from Canada, but my fiance plays professional hockey in Northwestern Florida, where we live from October to May. We were engaged last Christmas in New Orleans in front of the St. Louis Cathedral. We are getting married in Canada on July 14th, 2012. I am trying to add lots of Southern touches to my wedding – from bow ties to sweet tea, grilled cheese sandwiches and the Fleur de Lis to honor our NOLA engagement. I love living in the South, and my favourite blog of all time is the Southern Weddings Magazine blog!

Maybe because I’m Canadian I don’t fit the profile, but I just wanted to leave a message to tell ya’ll how helpful this site is :)

My fiancee is from the north and I’m from the south. :) I write a blog called Eat My Wedding with creative tips and tricks on how brides can save money on catering costs. My profession is an event designer for a Virginia based catering company.

Hey!
My name is Michelle and my blog is Delightedblog.wordpress.com! Although I live in sunny South Florida, I’m busy blogging about our November wedding in Myrtle Beach, SC as well as some of my personal graphic design and southern lifesytle. As I’m wedding planning I’m finding tons of great resources through you ladies at SW Mag :) Thanks for all y’all do!

Ashley July 19, 2011 reply

I’m from the south and my fiance is from the north. We’re planning a southern-themed wedding in VT this fall (everything from magnolia leaves to bottled Coca-Cola, cheese straws to gardenias, and shrimp and grit cakes to mason jar centerpieces). I’ve been documenting the wedding planning process on my blog: ashleymorganarts.wordpress.com.
Madelynne Miller March 19, 2012 reply

Hey! I am getting married in less than 1 month – but I started a blog last week that goes all the way back to the beginning documenting my planning, from ring shopping, to shoes, to planning the ceremony, to money. I have found that hindsight is serving me well writing about my experience planning an Alabama wedding in April :) This will be a scrapbook of memories for myself and little tidbits of advice for all the brides out there planning a budget-conscious, stylish wedding!
