Wow!  We are SO excited about being a part of this exclusive list of the top wedding blogs.  Owned by former Apple evangelist and marketing guru, {Guy Kawasaki},  {Alltop} lists the crème de la crème of blogs in every arena.  We are in great company… {Martha Stewart Weddings}, {What Junebug Loves}, {Style Me Pretty}, {Brides}, {WEDDEX},  {Elizabeth Anne Designs}, {Blue Orchid Designs}, {DC Nearlyweds}, {Wedding Paper Divas} and {Weddingbee} to name a very small few!  Check out these listings!  It’s such an honor to be featured with such dedicated wedding bloggers and phenomenal professionals.  Their standards are very high and this is a tough list to get onto.  As Liene from {Blue Orchid Designs} posted, the gals at {Kirtsy} actually erected a statue of him in appreciation!  Congrats to all the other wedding Alltoppers.  A million thanks to Guy for including us and to our readers for once again making every day our best day yet!

Our show is live!  Go to {The Wedding Planning Audiocast’s Meet the Wedding Blogger’s section} to hear Lara’s recent interview.  {The Wedding Planning Audiocast} is the hottest new wedding planning resource guide for brides.  They are the most highly-subscribed-to wedding show on iTunes!  Several of our SWS contributors have been on the show… Mindy Weiss, Michelle Rago, etc.  Click on over and spend some time getting to know the people who create the things you are so inspired by.  We’ve listened to nearly all of the recent shows and had such a fantastic time hearing the voices behind a lot of our favorite blogs: {Snippet and Ink}, {Style Me Pretty}, {The Bride’s Cafe}, {Junebug Weddings} and {Ritzy Bee} all had really insightful shows.  Kudos to the wedding bloggers and to everyone who supports us daily with such positive feedback!  It is such a gift to do this daily and to share these celebrations of life and love with you.  Enjoy the show!  **One thing we want to clarify… (sometimes things get mixed up in editing) SWS had been in development for 2 years (not officially released) before the first issue debuted April 1.  We’ve been blogging since the beginning, but only the occasional update on the magazine progress and photo shoot previews.  The moment the print edition debuted (which, by the way you will be able to pick up on newsstands all over the Southeast this July… very exciting!) we got such fantastic feedback, that we decided to take the big leap and blog daily.  Our dreams have come true and the blog gets more exciting every day thanks to our dedicated readers and friends.  A million thanks to the brides, vendors, and all of the southern wedding lovers out there for making this blog a place for inspiration and celebration! We are thrilled about the future!  ~Leah, Danielle, Lara, Erica, Roxanne, Laura N, Madelyn, Joyce, Laurie and Ashley
