Friends! We’re just six days away from Christmas, and the Southern Weddings office is humming with anticipation! I am SO delighted to present our very last 12 Days of Christmas giveaway to you, because it is one that is near and dear to my heart.
Yes, we’re giving away a custom veil from Chaviano Couture! As many of you know, I wore a creation handmade by Annette for my wedding, and veil questions are by far some of the most common I field. My sister-in-law and I actually commissioned this beauty jointly, and we both wore it on our wedding days (she was married two months before me).
Katie Stoops
And those of you who have been with us for a long time might recall that Katharine also wore a Chaviano Couture veil — it’s kind of a Southern Weddings tradition!

Though I sold my gown post-wedding, Marget and I are hoping our veil will become an heirloom that other women in our family, or even our daughters or nieces, will want to wear someday. Annette’s creations are just beautiful, and I know our lucky winner will love working with her to create something one-of-a-kind!
Win: A Chaviano Couture custom veil valued up to $300

While I do not personally need this incredibly prize (I was lucky enough to have access to my mom’s gorgeous vintage lace veil!), my best friend is recently engaged and planning a fall wedding. I know she would LOVE this! I know it’s not a gown, but the Ariele Bolero from Fall 2013 makes me swoon!! LOVE!
I love the Naika Gown

Went to the website and I LOVE the Kacie Gown! It’s so whimsical and delicate, reminds me of my gown :-) now all I need is the VEIL to make it complete!!
I just love the Noelle gown from the Fall 2013 collection! Isn’t it beautiful? The sheer overlay and fitted bodice are timeless but fresh, so perfect for a southern bride. And wouldn’t it look so great with a big bouquet of magnolia blossoms?
