How was everyone’s week? I’m still thinking about Mother’s Day – my sister and whipped up a delicious (if I do say so myself) lunch for our mom. On the blog, we celebrated with some of our favorite mother of the bride/groom photos. Y’all know, we love Southern mamas! (And not-so-Southern mamas, like Emily’s, too!)
Monday rolled around and we decided it was a good time to take the V5 train down to Florida! In the Boca Raton area? We think you should join us for a photo shoot.
Y’all, we’ve seen many memorable ends to weddings. Just check out our V4 editorial dedicated to it! One thing we haven’t seen, though, is a tractor getaway.
Springtime means bridal shower season! When the bridesmaids of one of our Southern Bride Bloggers threw her a monogrammed bridal shower, we knew we had to share it with you. Who doesn’t love a good monogram?
Emily broke out her etiquette genius to walk us through another dilemma: The Church Bridal Shower. Read up on it here, we’d love to hear if you’ve had a similar experience!
We love having our friend Katie from Marriage Confessions on the blog. This week, she reminds us to separate our practical needs from our relationship needs, especially in gift-giving.
Sierra took us through Savannah with this week’s Southern Hospitality Tote. (Paula Deen lives there, y’all!)
It’s been a season of change in the Southern Weddings office. Last week, four of us graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!), which means lots of celebrating, but also a few goodbyes. We’ll miss Sierra, who’s heading off to take over Nashville!
We love pretty details. We know you do, too. But after years of posting on the Southern Weddings blog, we hope you see that we believe marriage is always more important than the wedding. We created The Sweet Tea Society to help remind us. Read our manifesto here.
This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery is Jamie + Dan. Their outdoor wedding looked like the epitome of summer ease and relaxation.
Real Weddings make our hearts sing!
Annie + Jimmy’s V4 wedding was one that we keep finding new details in. Their wedding was a testament to their “deep Southern roots.” See it here and here.
Before you go, can we swoon over this engagement photo of Maria + Spencer together? Kate Benson took such adorable photos of them. See more on her blog here.
Have a splendid weekend, friends!
Omg I loveeee that Savannah bag! How cute!! :)
