Happy Friday, belles! We haven’t done a Sponsor Love post in a while, so we thought we’d send you off into the weekend with a few vendor recommendations.

Brandi Smyth is a photographer based out of Louisiana, but happy to travel wherever your wedding or session might take her. Her work has a soft and dreamy quality that I love. She also has an interesting goal of being “as inconsistent as possible,” meaning she works hard to tailor each session and result to the person or couple she’s capturing. See more of Brandi’s work on her site and blog!

Venue Safari was begun with the goal of connecting couples with their perfect wedding location. As someone who went through quite the ordeal trying to find a reception spot, I can definitely embrace that goal! Leslie is always adding new venues, so make sure to keep up with Venue Safari through Facebook and their blog!

Adam + Alli are a super-cute husband-and-wife photo team based in central Mississippi. However, they love to travel, and they love to meet people in love, so don’t hesitate to get in touch no matter where you live! I especially appreciate their focus on creating a superior experience for their clients. Check out more of their work on their blog and site!

Looking for more Southern gems? Check out our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory! Vendors, be sure to get in touch with Whitney to get involved!

Justin Demutiis is a fabulous Southern Weddings sponsor

I hope y’all have had a chance to check out our brand spankin’ new Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory since its launch last week! We are so proud to have collected some of the best and brightest vendors throughout the South! Each and every vendor in the Directory comes with our seal of approval, and we hope that you will embrace the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory as your newest wedding planning tool.

Today, I am happy to announce a very special addition to the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory. Our videographer category is now LIVE, and we are so pleased to have two amazing vendors on board to kick off this addition!

First, I’d like to introduce you to Inkspot Crow, a husband and wife team based in North Carolina. We are so happy to have worked with MacKenzie and Philip this summer as we shot the Paper, Cotton and Flour shoot for Southern Weddings V4. Inkspot Crow also shot this amazing maternity video of our own Lara Casey and her new bundle of joy, Grace. Warning: have tissues ready, it’s a tear-jerker!

Our second videography team is Heart Stone Films, also out of North Carolina. Chris and Toni’s videos are chock-full of heart, and one of their gorgeous wedding films was featured in our Friday Round-Up in July. Hint: be sure to read Chris and Toni’s Behind the Brand tab on their website to get an inside look on why they have that adorable penguin logo!

Videographers! Want to join in on the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory fun? Send an email to whitney at iloveswmag.com and I’ll get an application to you ASAP! We are still taking applicants for all categories, so don’t delay!

Inkspot Crow and Heart Stone Films are fabulous Southern Weddings sponsors!

Introducing our Blue Ribbon Vendors!

by in Main, News on

It is with GREAT excitement that we bring today’s announcement to y’all. After months and months of prep behind the scenes, we are so, SO pleased to reveal the project that has consumed us for the past year: the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Honestly, y’all? We could NOT be more excited about how this has all come together. We’re launching with 65+ fabulous Southern vendors, including KT Merry, Amber Karson Events, and Robyn Van Dyke (that’s their work featured above!). They’re all incredibly talented, but even more than that, they’re all warm, upstanding people, as we’ve learned through their interviews and in talking with their references (we check at least two for every vendor!). We can’t wait for you to meet them, and find someone perfect for your wedding!

So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!! You can search by category or by state, and be sure to scroll through to the end of each portfolio to read each vendor’s fun interview! If you see the “Editors’ Pick” designation, that means that the vendor has had a real wedding or a shoot featured in a Southern Weddings print edition, and so they get an extra-special stamp of approval!

Vendors, interested in applying? Though there is only a nominal fee to join, we take our application process very seriously. Email Whitney today to get started!

Brides, have an amazing vendor you’d love to recommend from your own wedding? We would LOVE to hear about them! You can email Whitney with that info, too.

We’ll be adding new talents all the time, so be sure to check back often! And if you have any other feedback in the meantime, we would love to hear from you in the comments or in an email. Enjoy!!

    i love this :) but something i’ve been dying to know is, are there any good makeup and hair artists in north carolina, especially around the rdu area?! i need help with that and i find it’s really hard to find any information regarding artists in the area!

    otherwise, great job ladies! love all the resources!!

      amanda: go to your local mall and check out your favorite make-up counters. Places like Sephora, MAC, Trish McEvoy, NARS, etc. all have really talented ladies working & they usually provide makeup services outside of their store. Sometimes you have to schedule through thier line and often times they have small businesses of their own. Check them out!!!

      Hi Amanda! We are definitely still working to round out our hair + makeup recs! Good pros are so hard to find in these areas, and having someone you’re confident in is so important. I do have one recommendation for you — we LOVE Jennifer Ericksen (http://jenniferericksen.com/). She’s based in Greensboro but would definitely travel to the Triangle, and we’ve worked on mag shoots with her. She does both hair and makeup. My other suggestion would be to browse through the NC real weddings in our gallery, and if you like the look of the hair and makeup from a wedding, check out who the vendor was! That’s a great way to find good pros locally. Good luck, and we will keep adding amazing beauty pros when we find them!!
