Despite how quickly July seemed to move past us, we somehow managed to feature a whopping 13 Real Weddings! Emily, Marissa and I are back with our favorite highlights from July. This time, we’re also joined by our lovely intern, Emily Alice who is rounding out our picks.

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: I love a traditional white dress, but it’s the alternative wedding dresses that really steal my heart. Allison’s flowery cotton number was perfect for her mountain wedding. It was the big bow on Whitney’s dress that won Emily’s vote, while Marissa opted for the lovely flower detail on Christie’s dress. Emily Alice preferred the all lace gown with a cutout back that Elizabeth donned.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: I will forever be a fan of formal black dresses like the ones Lindsey’s ‘maids wore. It was also an office favorite! Marissa adored the sweet blue frocks that Whitney’s gals wore. Emily was taken with the fun colorful dresses at Elizabeth’s wedding and Emily Alice thought the bow-adorned dresses at Malloree’s wedding were too perfect.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: Who didn’t adore the fun bauble necklaces that Elizabeth’s bridesmaids rocked? It was immediately among my favorites along with Emily’s top pick, Kim’s flower fascinator and veil. Emily Alice fell in love with a veil, too, opting for Lindsey’s lace trimmed beauty. Marissa knew that the cowboy boots under Izzy’s white dress were the ultimate accessory.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: Y’all know we love our dapper gents! Emily Alice loved the cool styling of Jordan and his groomsmen in cream suits. Marissa adored Jeremy’s chic take on nautical. Emily was a fan of the smart bow ties that Lane’s men wore and I thought the skinny black ties among Nathan’s groomsmen looked clean and handsome.

FAVORITE DETAIL: Emily couldn’t resist the tasty and adorable biscuit bar at Christie + Mike’s reception (honestly, who could?). For Emily Alice, though, it was Kristal + Johnny’s pig ring bearer that took the vote! Marissa immediately fell smitten with the flower and light installations at Kim + Mark’s reception and I couldn’t pass on the sweet and simple reception setup at Allison + Scott’s wedding.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: This month, Marissa’s vote went to Megan + Jeremy’s epic church ceremony, while mine went to the creative program handkerchiefs at Whitney + Sam’s. For Emily, it was the mountaintop vows of >Allison + Scott’s that won her heart. Emily Alice chose the lakeside “I do’s” of >Kristin + JJ.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: This category was a tough one to pare down! I did not stop staring at the bouquets that Kim and her ‘maids carried down the aisle (look at that ruffle wrap!). Emily loved the peaches and blues in Christie’s bouquet (also with some lovely ribbons!) and Emily Alice was crazy for the springy colors and textures in Izzy’s bouquet. Marissa chose Lindsey’s all white rose and peony bouquet, but we all loved the fresh white and greens of Elizabeth’s bouquet.

FAVORITE SWEET: This category makes my mouth water every time! The darling little cake at Kim + Mark’s wedding took my vote for July. It was the team-spirited cheesecake at Malloree + Jordan’s wedding that spoke to Emily. For Marissa, Krispy Kreme donuts from Izzy + Lane’s wedding won out and for Emily Alice, it was the mini cinnamon rolls at Allison + Scott’s wedding.

FAVORITE PHOTO: Who else thought the photo of Kristin and her flower girl was too adorable? Emily thought so, too. Marissa adored the photos of Whitney tying Sam’s bow tie before the ceremony and Emily Alice just loved the photo of Claire’s wedding party jumping on the bed pre-ceremony. I, being a sucker for a great toast, chose the photo of Izzy + Lane at their reception.

Y’all have been caught up on what’s been happening behind the scenes in the Southern Weddings office for June, but we can’t forget about rounding up some of our favorite highlights from our Real Weddings! Emily, Marissa and I are here with our lovely features.

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Jillian’s lightly tiered dress looked lovely against the backdrop of her barn wedding and stole Marissa’s heart in the process! Emily was taken with the classic Southern lace that Christine wore, while I adored the sweet white dress that Samantha wore for her getaway.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: Ellie’s bridesmaids were a wonderful example of mixed bridesmaids dresses looking lovely. I love how they comfortable they look, too! Emily and Marissa loved the uniform look. Emily was a fan of Christine’s pale blue bridesmaids and Marissa couldn’t get enough of the ruffled turquoise dresses at Hillary’s wedding.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: The baby’s breath and pink rose hair wreath that Hillary’s flower girl donned was just about the cutest thing I ever saw! Marissa adored another flower girl from a June wedding — the Southern-as-can-be gingham and lace outfit in Jillian + Marcus’ ceremony. Emily’s eye was drawn to the glittery pumps that Austin wore.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: Y’all know how sweet we are on the beaus and bows on the blog! Bart’s groomsmen’s black and white gingham number took Marissa’s vote, while the glittery wrap from Steven’s boutonniere was too good for Emily to pass up. I fell head over heels for the hip gentlemen in Samantha + John’s wedding.

FAVORITE DETAIL: Oh the details. Our couples are so creative! Sigrid + Bart won me over when they decided to lead their guests to the reception area with giant polka dotted balloons. Emily loved how Jillian + Marcus used painted pie tins as food signs! Of course, the colorful “Here Comes the Bride” banner at Mariangelix + Steven’s wedding won Marissa’s vote.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: Ceremonies are my favorite part of the wedding to read about (other than the proposal story!). The monogram details and classic setup at Hillary + Kyle’s ceremony won Emily over. Marissa loved the outdoor ceremony space at Jillian + Marcus’ wedding. I thought Erika + Jon’s “I do’s” in her mother’s backyard was so memorable.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: We’re always impressed by how unique bouquets can be! The colorful mix of lush flowers from Austin + Steven’s wedding became an instant favorite with Emily. I was smitten with the sweet colors and mixed textures of Jillian’s bouquet (plus that ribbon — I die!). Marissa adored the colorful bouquet that Mariangelix carried down the aisle, plus her pretty ribbon and brooch.

FAVORITE SWEET: Is anyone surprised that Marissa’s favorite sweet was Hillary + Kyle’s classic white and monogrammed cake? I thought Sigrid + Bart’s collection of pink ruffled cakes was adorable and Emily loved the late-night chocolate milk and donut hole desserts at Austin + Steven’s wedding.

FAVORITE PHOTO: This is always our favorite category to pick highlights from! How sweet is the photo of Samantha walking down the aisle? Emily thought so, too! Marissa (and the rest of us) thought Hillary’s sleepy flower girl was too cute to ignore. I loved the joy and community that emanated from the photo of Erika + Jon’s toasts.

April’s weddings just seem to be the perfect fit for this wonderful spring season we’re in, don’t they? Another month of fab real weddings have gone by and now Emily, Marissa and I are rounding up the highlights! Grab an Arnold Palmer and join us, won’t you?

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Emily has a deep appreciation for the classic, so Elizabeth’s lace dress was a top pick for her. Marissa was taken with Callie’s romantic gown with a pretty satin bow and I loved the peachy keenness of Stacy’s dress.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: The rich blue lace overlay on Amelia’s bridesmaids dresses were an instant favorite of mine. Marissa couldn’t get enough of Elizabeth’s ‘maids’ easy-going but elegant skirt and top combos. Emily was a fan of Crystal’s uniform bridesmaids — the ruffles and pink sashes get us every time!

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: When Emily first saw Beverly’s wedding, she was instantly attracted to the cheerful yellow pashminas that the bridal party rocked. I had a bit of shoe-envy when I saw Crystal’s fab blue pumps. Marissa found herself in the same position when we featured Stacy’s glittery bow flats.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: I loved how positively elegant Carlton and his groomsmen looked, despite a last minute tux emergency! Alex’s striped blue tie and seersucker pocket square shot to the top of Marissa’s favorites in menswear while Emily loved the unique burlap and key boutonniere that Dan sported.

FAVORITE DETAIL: Who else could resist the fun signage at Callie + Paul’s wedding? The fun detail was an instant favorite of Marissa’s. Emily adored the pink floral monogram that dressed up a hay bale at Crystal + Trip’s wedding and I was drawn to the fun and colorful glassware and vases that decorated the tables at Stacy + Adam’s reception.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: For Marissa, Stacy + Adam’s ceremony under a draped altar was perfection. The homemade details and fun colors of Callie + Paul’s wedding stole Emily’s heart. I opted for the simple and charming tree-shaded ceremony of Ansley + Carlton.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: I just couldn’t resist picking Ansley’s bouquet this month! The rich colors and mix of unique flowers won my vote. Classic and feminine with peonies and roses, Crystal’s bouquet was the choice for Emily, while Marissa was head over heels for Stacy’s full summery bouquet of sherbet-colored flowers.

FAVORITE SWEET: I think everyone’s mouth was watering when we saw the s’mores full of homemade marshmallows at Elizabeth + Alex’s wedding. It was an instant favorite of Emily’s! The clean and frosted peach-decked cake at Stacy + Adam’s wedding was the sweet of choice for Marissa, while Casey + Wojtek’s buttercream-frosted cake hit at my weak spot.

FAVORITE PHOTO: As soon as Emily saw the fun confetti throw at Stacy + Adam’s wedding, she knew it was going to be a highlight! How much fun does that look?? Marissa loved seeing the joy on the faces of Elizabeth + Alex’s bridal party after their ceremony while I instantly fell in love with the beautiful first dance moment at Callie + Paul’s wedding.
