It was so fun to relive my and Lisa’s stay at the Salamander Resort on Tuesday! Our trip wasn’t all spa treatments and horseback riding, though – we were in Virginia to work! We met up with one of our favorite florists, Holly Chapple, and one of our favorite photographers, Katie Stoops, to pull together our bouquet feature for Southern Weddings V7. Our floral features have been inspired by a number of things in the past, including Southern states and different aspects of the South, but I dare say this one is our most fun yet.

Our day started with a visit to The Old Luckett’s Store out in the cow fields of Leesburg, VA. Anyone who has been to this vintage treasure trove and/or feels the same way I do about collected goodies knows how painful it was for me to walk briskly through all four floors, sticking to my list, instead of meandering from room to room for the rest of the day. We left with an armful of artifacts to complete our vision, and headed to Holly’s delightful home studio!

The rest of the day was really just the best kind of photo shoot dream. The weather was gorgeous, so we set up our shooting space outside in the garden, and the rest of the day was spent building bouquets, choosing ribbon, snipping branches and greenery from the yard, and composing images.

We even had a few helpers as Holly’s kids came and went! Miss Grace was particularly taken with the cotton bolls we were using, and asked us very sweetly if she could keep one after we were finished. We said yes :)

That’s it for today, but keep an eye on the instagram hashtag #MakingSouthernWeddings – we’ve been sharing the daily bits and pieces and tiny steps that somehow, over the course of a year, add up to a big, beautiful magazine!

P.S. We’re still looking for reader models for our Charleston and Nashville editorial shoots!

When it comes to lush Southern florals, Holly Chapple is a household name. For over two decades, Holly has been creating beautiful bouquets and arrangements for brides in Northern Virginia and beyond, and we love any opportunity we can get to work with this talented lady! As well as running Holly Heider Chapple Flowers and hosting a number of inspiring workshops, Holly and her husband Evan have been married for 27 years and have seven children. We love the advice she shared with us in V6!

I think the key to a long and successful marriage is never giving up. Tough times will come, and there will be loss and pain along the way. It is essential that you rely on each other through these challenging times. By standing together and consistently getting through difficult times, you begin you to realize that you are invincible together. Together, you can persevere and accomplish anything.

Keep up with Holly

The ranks of our Blue Ribbon Vendors have veritably exploded over the past few months, so definitely take a look at your state if you haven’t in a while! In the meantime, we’re taking a few minutes to introduce you to ten new members whose work and businesses have so impressed us.

2+Hue Designs carries some of the most beautiful rental items I’ve ever seen. Though they have lots of vintage pieces, I love that their style is more refined and tailored than most. Florida brides, check them out!

Anna K Photography is based in Georgia and specializes in happy brides! Her cheerful, clean images would make anyone smile.

Music can be one of the hardest vendor decisions to make, since unless you’ve attended one of their events before, it’s hard to truly know what you’re getting. That’s where recommendations come in super handy, and we can say with confidence that we’d recommend Bruce Pike Productions for DC and Maryland couples!

Christina Gillon’s portfolio is filled with some of the most beautiful wedding designs I’ve seen. Her work has such a cohesive look to it that, as a bride, I’d feel supremely confident in her style and track record. Emerald Coast brides, look her up!

Elizabeth Ray’s photography has a Southern glam edge to it with a bit of vintage style. She is based in Austin but often travels to New Orleans.

I love Georgia-based Flawless Finish’s simple philosophy: you should look like the best version of YOU on your big day. Amen!

Gertie Mae’s Floral Studio has a vintage-sounding name (after the owner’s grandmothers!), but their designs are lovely and fresh. They are based in Clarksville, Georgia.

The wonderful Heather Roth is based in Missouri; I love the depth and classic style of her images.

Holly Chapple creates the sort of lush, textured bouquets brides dream about! She is based in Leesburg, Virginia and is an Editors’ Pick for her past print work with SW!

Julia Wade captures honest, real, and heartfelt images. She is based in North Carolina.

That’s just scratching the tip of the iceberg, my friends, so be sure to hop over to the full Directory to see what we have in store! Vendors, if you’re interested in applying, just fill out this form and Kristin will be in touch.

Have any of y’all worked with any of these lovely folks? We’d love to hear in the comments!
