Oh my word, y’all! Though all of our Best of 2012 posts were hard to narrow down, this category might have been the very hardest. When you feature as many gorgeous, heartfelt, carefully planned Southern weddings as we do, there is no end to the meaningful details! Here, ten of our very favorites.

A porch swing covered in a family quilt at the reception: photo by Cali Ashton from Sydney + Lucas’s wedding.

A gigantic red heart done up with calligraphy: photo by Adam Barnes from Blair + Luke’s wedding (obviously!).

Burlap gone chic (a Pinterest favorite!): photo by Kristyn Hogan from Kristal + Johnny’s wedding.

A guest book fashioned from a family Bible: photo by Paige Newton from Alison + Brent’s wedding.

A lush monogrammed hay bale! Photo by Kim Box from Crystal + Trip’s wedding.

Preppy striped linens and coral crackers: photo by Justin DeMutiis from Blair + Brian’s wedding (which has popped up in several of these year end posts!).

We had seen monogrammed guest books, but never a guest book that WAS a monogram before this! Photo by Brett Heidebrecht from Lauren + Justin’s wedding.

Sweet wedding cornhole board: photo by The Reason from Melanie + Cale’s wedding.

Chair wreaths with a favorite country song line (we loved this so much we included it in print!): photo by Paula O’Hara from Alise + Conor’s wedding.

Yep, that about sums it up. Photo by Brett Heidebrecht from Claire + Nathan’s wedding.

Adam Barnes and Justin DeMutiis are fabulous members of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!
