Southern Weddings

After another fun photo shoot on Wednesday, we’re both really excited to get V5 on stands for y’all and a little tired from resisting the urge to try on every pretty wedding dress that came in. I think we all need the weekend to recuperate from that effort :)

I think a Southern Delicacy like some Boiled Peanuts is on the menu for next week. Team meeting snack food, anyone?

Summer in the South means really good music, right? We asked for your help rounding up the best music festivals the South has to offer.

With just a few weeks until she says, “I do,” Emily walks us through her DIY experiences and offers some practical advice for incorporating those projects into your own big day.

What do YOU love about the South? Do y’all like deviled eggs like Emily does? We’re asking y’all for help as we prep V5 for it’s debut on news stands! Leave your answer here.

Sit a spell with Marissa and she walks you through her (fairly unconventional and often hilarious) day as our Ad Director.

We love Real Weddings!

Liz + Brett’s New Orleans wedding left us positively smitten. A passed-down vintage veil, second line and monogrammed tambourines spell out a good time! See it here.

Ali + Austin created a joyful wedding filled with moments that will have you reaching for the tissues! See it here.

Nicole + Rob’s barn wedding was a preppy take on the rustic setting. We love their green and blue color palette and Nicole’s stunning bridal portraits! See it here.

Caitlyn + John’s barn wedding incorporates one of my favorite colors and boasts an elegant reception setup. See it here.

Before you go, take a look a Kelly + Drew’s darling wedding! Y’all might remember Kelly as June’s Southern Bride of the Month with a killer pink and green inspiration board. Weren’t you dying to see how it all turned out? See more from their big “I do’s” on Kristine Neeley’s blog!

Have a fun weekend, friends!

Emily and I both agree that we’re feeling a little removed from reality this week. (She says it’s felt like Thursday since Tuesday!) Maybe it’s that our office is being taken over by photo shoot props or that we’ve been thrown off by our midweek power outage (hello, Southern thunderstorms!). Either way, we’re thankful that Friday is finally here and that we have a moment of rest before we head off to another V5 photo shoot on Monday!

Emily’s been talking about watermelon all summer and couldn’t wait to share some of that sweet inspiration with y’all!

Marissa really knows the way to my heart. This week, she’s sharing the details behind a true Southern favorite, the Krispy Kreme donut.

We are so excited that July’s Southern Bride of the Month is not only a reader, but a vendor! Get to know Molly Gee, her adorable pup and her Christmas proposal story here.

Real Weddings brighten our day!

Izzy + Lane’s museum wedding transformed a Charlotte landmark into a venue for Southern hospitality! Take a look here.

If Christie + Mike hadn’t had such an adorable love story, then their biscuit bar definitely would have won us over! See it here.

Kim + Mark’s wedding have us completely smitten with their flowers and reception installations! See it here.

Fun news!

The stationers and paper-lovers at Storkie have just released new invitation designs on their site! Head over there to browse the options and customize to your heart’s content!

We’re sending out giant hugs to all the ladies and gents who are getting married this weekend, including our Southern Bride Blogger, Theresa! Congratulations!

Have a great weekend, friends! Tell us, what Southern Doin’s are you taking part in?
