If there’s one single shoot that’s continued to inspire us for years on end, it’s Carolina On My Mind — better known as our V3 cover shoot. The colors, the lighthearted feel, the sweet and approachable couple, the beautiful landscape… it encapsulates so perfectly everything we want Southern Weddings to represent. It also immediately jumped to mind when we started thinking about the feeling we wanted our Summer Love campaign to evoke. For newer readers, we hope you love seeing a peek into the Southern Weddings archive! (There are still a few copies of V3 left in the SW Shop!) Longer readers, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past. For everyone, we hope it inspires your outdoor adventures this summer!

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

We hope you’re tucked up somewhere cozy with your family, your friends, or maybe just your honey.

We couldn’t resist sharing just a few of our favorite pies from last year’s Blue Ribbon Bounty editorial in honor of the gooder than gravy fixin’s we’re about to consume. You can take a peek at all the yumminess here.

We are so thankful for y’all: for your enthusiasm over the things we create and share, for your encouragement of our mission, and for the ways you inspire us to work harder and do better through your own relationships and weddings. Huge hugs and Thanksgiving kisses from each of us to you, today and every day.

Happy eating! xo,
Lara, Emily, Marissa, Nicole, Kristin, and Lisa

    […] I'll probably be pied out for awhile now, but I can't help loving a pretty roundup. […]

    Hi!
    I am dying to find out where the white “stars shine so bright in TEXAS” plate came from??? I live in Lubbock and this just makes me oh so happy! If you could let me in on that little detail that would be so sweet!
    Thank you so much,
    Kelsea Gale

Unlike their fancier counterpart, the cake, pies hold all the sweetness of classic desserts but with the added bonus of nostalgia and memories. There’s something about our mama’s pie recipe, those vibrant fillings and that carefully laid crust that evokes more than just a tummy growl. The wedding pie may be humble, but it holds the best parts of the family tree that marks weddings with meaning.

We couldn’t think of anyone better than Joey and Jessica to capture the feast we were dreaming up. With dozens of pies from my favorite pie shop, PieBird and china from Replacements reminiscent of our family heirlooms, we were ready to capture the South’s favorite flavors.

Y’all, we just have to tell you — your screen cannot do these horizontal shots justice. Get a copy of the magazine to see just why we made them cover a full two pages. A hint? You’ll also get to read the the “Love Pie” poem that our own Emily hand lettered below, written by a childhood friend of Lara’s.

We just love the idea of using these monogrammed hankies from Bumblebee Linens as a way to mark seating and demonstrate some Southern hospitality. Tucked under each plate and accompanied by a stamped fork from Silverware Creations with each guests’ name, we were ready to feast!

Oh my. How gorgeous is the crust detailing on these pies?

We had a blast pairing each pie flavor with china that represented the pie’s “personality.” The key lime pair ranks among our favorites.

When it came to Texas, there was only one thing to do. We asked Elizabeth at Hardink Calligraphy to hand letter a plate with lyrics from a song close to every Texan’s heart. The little star cutouts as the crust only made this Texas two-step pie even cuter!

Rah, rah, Carolina! We adore the collegiate preppiness of this Carolina blue plate with its decadent dessert.

This Southern classic just kills me! We were so enamored with the sugary pecans, deep colors and beautiful details of this pie that we had to close the feature with a full page shot of it.

Don’t forget to get your copy right here. Just be warned: when you come across this feature in print, you’ll want to dig your fork right into the pages.

Now that y’all have seen our full bounty of pies, how about spreading some love with a giveaway? We’re thrilled to give some of our props from this shoot a new home, including rings from Mary John, bracelets from Georgie Jewelry and Alexis K Jewels, an adorable dipped cake server set that reads “Your love is sweet as a peach” from Jagged Edge Designs and the cute mini cake stand trio from Aedriel Originals!

To Enter: Leave a comment below telling us what your favorite pie is and which of these items you’d love to win.

Win: Five people will win the item of their choosing!

Good luck y’all!

    I absolutely love the key lime pie! Being a born and raised Florida girl, key lime pie is a staple in my mama’s home!
    I’m getting married May 11th, 2013 and would love to adorn my wrist with the pearl bracelet by Georgie Jewelry.

  2. avatar Ashley reply

    This shoot has me craving pie in any form! Good thing Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Those mini cake stands are cute as a button! Would love to have those to celebrate my baby girl’s first birthday next year.

  3. avatar Brittany reply

    Pecan Pie will always be my favorite because I remember picking pecans at my grandmother’s house as a little girl and making the best pies you could ever imagine!

  4. avatar Mariel reply

    I love the Key Lime Pie…that plate is GORGEOUS! Love the styling of the WHOLE shoot!!

    I would love to win the engraved servers!

  5. avatar Laura reply

    I would love any of these, but the Georgie bracelets are lovely!

  6. avatar Liz Rotz reply

    I think key lime is one of the yummiest pies around! And I’m dying over that infinity sign bracelet! Love y’all! -Liz

  7. avatar Jen reply

    Peh-Kahn or Pee-Can Pie is my favorite southern pie! ;) I baked two last night trying to get a jump start on my Thanksgiving prepping. What better way to serve pecan pie slices than with the cute and colorful engraved pie server?! Happy Thanksgiving SW ladies!!

  8. avatar Courtney Cross reply

    Key lime pie is always my favorite! I would love to win any of the items really! I do love the two bracelets!

  9. avatar Jessica Clinch reply

    I have to admit, apple pie will forever hold a place in my heart as my all-time favorite pie. But, from the pies featured above I would undoubtedly choose the strawberry rhubarb pie. It’s my mom’s favorite pie and will forever remind me of her and of home. I’d love to win that adorable mini cake stand trio! They would be a fabulous addition to any dessert table.

  10. avatar Ashleigh reply

    Oh my stars! I LOVE the Tarheel Pie… because it’s chocolate, of course! Chocolate is most definitely the way to this girl’s heart. The mini cake stand trio would be perfect at our August 2013 wedding since we’re planning on doing an array of mini-desserts sure to delight all of our guest’s tastebuds.

  11. avatar Elizabeth @ HobbyLobbyist reply

    I love the bracelets by Alexis K! And my favorite pie is strawberry rhubarb.

    My all time fave pie is the PECAN PIE!!! I’m obsessed…seriously! I would love to win the engraved server set! It’s exactly what I need. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’m a lucky winner :)

  13. avatar Sarah H. reply

    I love Strawberry Rhubarb pie. It is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I would love to win anything on this page, but if I had to pick just one it would be the lovely engraved serving set.

  14. avatar Jan reply

    My favorite pie is banana cream. All the prizes look amazing…my favorite would have to be the mini cake stand trio.

  15. avatar Meghan P. reply

    My absolutely favorite pie from above is the Coconut Cream Pie! My grandmother used to make them for me during southern summers I would spend at her house in Virginia. I have such wonderful memories from those summers, and especially of that delicious homemade pie! I would be thrilled to win the Engraved Server Set! I am engaged and would love to start by building my collection with that so I could serve any of those amazing pies! Nothing is as southern as a fresh pie enjoyed by family and friends.

  16. avatar Laura reply

    It was actually really hard for me to pick a favorite. But I’m going to have to say that my favorite is the Texas Two Step and I’m not even from Texas :) but I love the calligraphy on the plate! And I would love to win the bracelets from Alexis K jewels.

  17. avatar Jennifer reply

    I love Blackberry Pie. It reminds me of picking blackberrys with my family in the woods when I was little. I’d love to win the Engraved Server. It would be perfect for my upcoming wedding!

  18. avatar Liz M reply

    Strawberry pie, a recently discovered favorite! I would love to win any of the items, but the Alex K Jewels bracelets are my favorite.

  19. avatar Meredith Maher reply

    I couldn’t help eating a very delicious piece of chocolate chess pie while slowly flipping through every page of the new issue. Receiving it in the mail today made a horrible, terrible, no good very bad day – amazing! I have so been looking forward to looking through it!

  20. avatar Michelle reply

    Being raised in SC, I’m a Pecan Pie kinda girl :).

  35. avatar Lindsey reply

    My favorite pie is Key Lime Pie! Love the rings by Mary John!

  36. avatar amanda reply

    OH my! I’d have to say my favorite pie is actually the tomato pie!!! My friend makes it every summer and I absolutely love it! There’s also nothing finer than going to the farmers market in the summer and getting tomatoes that have never been put into the fridge to use in your tomato pie. MMmmm! I also think those adorable mini cake stands are amazing! I’d love to utilize those in my home!

  37. avatar Natalie reply

    Could you put some of the china patterns up? I LOVE the pattern that is displaying the delicious looking pecan pie. I also really liked the delicate gold pattern, any idea of where I could find them?

    • avatar Emily reply

      Hi Natalie! Thank you so much! And YES, we are working on adding the china patterns and should have them up by tomorrow!

  38. avatar Taylor reply

    Pecan pie is without a doubt the best pie ever! I’d love to win any of the rings by Mary John – I love the way they look stacked!

  39. avatar Abby reply

    The Tar Heel Pie looks so scrumptious I could die! I’d love to win any of them, but the pie stands are too cute.

  40. avatar Marisa reply

    The Blackberry Pie looks wonderful! I would love one of the Georgie Peal Bracelets in gold, it’s gorgeous!

  41. avatar Katie reply

    Pecan pie and butterscotch pie! One time I dragged my friend all up and down bourbon street around midnight, searching for some pecan pie. I sure wish I could win a plate with that beautiful calligraphy, but those rings are equally gorgeous.

  42. avatar LaShanda reply

    I love pumpkin pie. I would get the pearl bracelet as a gift for my flower girl. Thanks!

  43. avatar Amber Sloop reply

    My favorite pie is the Tar Heel Pie, I love anything chocolate. I would like to win the mini cake stands they are so cute.

    I’d love, love, love to win the rings- beautiful! and my favorite pie is actually Key Lime- growing up in Florida we ate it at Thanksgiving over pumpkin!

  45. avatar Marybeth Whalen reply

    My favorite pie is Tarheel Pie, a pecan/chocolate combo that graces our holiday tables every year. As for which item I’d love to win, well all of it of of course! Between my niece who is getting married and my own daughters I know I’d find welcome homes or each item!

    I love the pearl bracelets or the engraved server set. My favorite pie is PECAN for sure! I was just in Texas, visiting my folks, and we found a gazillion pecan trees, and were able to pick up fresh pecans from the ground. BEST.THING.EVER!! In fact, I have a bag full of pecans just waiting to be cracked and put in a pie. YUM! Thanks for the chance to win!
