Oh my stars, what a wonderful week here in the office! Thank y’all so so so much for the amazing feedback on our latest issue and for encouraging us through the years. I just don’t have words big enough to say thank you to you, dear readers, for helping us grow like wild honeysuckle! We’re all feeling so grateful as we finish this exciting week!
If you are new around these parts, welcome! We’re so glad to have you and hope you’ll sit a spell with us. If you just picked up your first copy of Southern Weddings on newsstands this week or got one of our many pre-orders via the hilarious and hard-workin’ SWPS, you may know there is a little biscuit in my oven. I’ve reached the nine-months mark, so Baby Grace is set to arrive any day now! The current view from my desk…
I’m about to set off into maternity leave land, so I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you! As a tiny office, all of your warm words and encouragement really do mean the world to us. We truly love y’all and love dreaming up new fun things to inspire your big day plans! There are so many exciting things in the works while I’m on maternity leave. Emily, Whitney, Marissa, Nicole and Sierra have all sorts of Southern surprises in store!

The wonderful SW ladies will fill you in when Grace arrives and you can always stay posted on my personal blog, daily tumblr and twitter. Thank you to the moon and back!
Oh, Lara. from my end – thank you! It is a true pleasure to be a fan of Southern Weddings (print and online), a fan of your staff & all your beloved vendors, and a fan of you! My dear, you make it pretty darn easy to love ya right back!
I wish you a happy and healthy delivery – I will be praying for you, your hubby, and baby Grace the whole way through. Enjoy your leave and enjoy your newest joy in life!

May God pour out a blessing that you just cannot contain! :)

Yah! What a sweet treat to end with after the wonderful and exciting week you ladies had.
Indeed! We’re so grateful!!
Your blog brings me absolute joy every week, both Lara Casey’s blog and Southern Weddings. I think my new dream job is to work with you all. You just can’t even begin to realize how much positive energy, happiness, and inspiration y’all spread to all us ladies out here! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Madelynne! We love what we do and genuinely love working together. Thank you for the encouragement!!
Where oh where did you get your “Let her sleep” print? I must have one!
Hi Amber!! I designed it myself and printed it on my home printer. But, I’ve seen lots of pretty prints like this on places like Etsy. Happy decorating!
[…] me. I’m savoring my last day in the office with the wonderful SW ladies before I head out on maternity leave. Seriously, y’all, I’m so sad thinking about not seeing Emily, Whitney, Marissa, Sierra […]
