Southern Weddings

We survived the icy weekend that turned North Carolina into a winter wonderland (well, it looked that way if you were snuggled on the couch with hot chocolate like I was) and have been enjoying the crazy warm temperatures that followed! If you were at the Carolina Inn Bridal Showcase this weekend, you might have felt like it was spring! Gorgeous blooms and amazing vendors filled the rooms at the Inn and we were lucky enough to have a table there where we could meet some excited brides-to-be! Giant hugs and thanks to Heidi at the Inn who squeezed us into the lineup. Make sure you flip through a couple of photos that we uploaded from the event on Facebook.

Southern winter wedding inspiration with pops of red was just what we needed with Valentine’s Day right around the corner!

The finalists in our V5 Photo Contest sure are adorable! So adorable, in fact, that we need your help choosing a winner! Hop on over to this post and cast your vote by the end of the day.

We’re happy to welcome back our Southern Etiquette column! This month, Emily answers the question of the “church shower.”

Epic love stories never get old, which is why we’re smitten with this The Notebook-inspired engagement session.

Real weddings make us happier than a pig in mud!

Laura + Chad’s plantation wedding was beautiful night cradled in a weekend of Southern fun. See it here.

Morgan + Matthew’s wedding day was full of monogrammed goodness and sweet joy. See it here.

Lauren + Rob’s coral wedding from V5 was a Southern fete inspired by elements from L + R’s home together. See it here and here.

Andrea + Tom’s backyard pizza party wedding was a mixture of casual fun and meaningful family pieces. See it here.

Happy Weekend!

I don’t know about you guys, but my weekend plans include snuggling under multiple blankets until I figure out how to turn on my fireplace. It’s cold in North Carolina, y’all. I’m advocating for an office field trip farther South, say Key West?

We try to keep things quite cozy on the blog, however, especially since we wanted to welcome our newest Blue Ribbon Vendors on Monday! Say hello right here.

Y’all know we can’t get enough of Plum Pretty Sugar. We wish we could win this amazing giveaway of theirs! Enter here.

We’re smitten with our real weddings!

Jessica + Troy’s wedding boasted the best of elegant barn soirees and gorgeous portraits. See it here.

Savannah + Robbie’s wedding was at once rustic and romantic. We love their sweet style and line dance moves! See it here.

Okay, y’all. We have been waiting for Mrs. Emily Thomas’s wedding for quite some time! Though we’ve seen her wedding in print, we are still swooning over the beautiful portraits and sweet details. See it here and here.

Adis + Victor’s celebration wasn’t a wedding, but a vow renewal on their thirtieth anniversary. We are blown away by the amount of love that shine through in the photos and by their beautiful family.

If you’re looking for a darling engagement session to feast your eyes on, head over to Facebook Friday, where Cyn Kain is treating us.

Happy weekend to all you belles and beaus!
