It’s hot, y’all. Somehow we went from April showers to full-on summertime. I’m not complaining — just wishing computers were waterproof so I could work from my pool. :)

Lara, Emily and I also spent some time yesterday going through our prop closet and office attic, pulling things out for our yard sale tomorrow! If you’re interested in coming, be sure to scroll down for details.

We stared off the week with a wedding addition that was new to us: a pickle bar! Lola + Stephen’s favorite food was a hit at their wedding.

Even more twists came our way when we featured a gorgeous inspiration shoot full of Southern sophistication. The real-life couple featured in this shoot brought their love story to life.

Our Southern Stems column this week was all about my favorite Southern bloom, jasmine. Emily also provided some helpful tips in distinguishing between honeysuckle, jessamine and jasmine — all of which we love and enjoy in the South.

April was good to us (the pollen was not). Take a look at what we’ve been up to inside and outside the office in our Instagram recap!

Real Weddings make us swoon!

Margaret + Marty’s New Orleans wedding was abundant in joy and color. We love seeing the radiant bride and handsome groom celebrate with their friends and family. See it here.

We’re convinced that Callee + Calan’s wedding would have done Steel Magnolias proud! Their modernized take on pink and monograms is bright and romantic. See it here.

Good News for the weekend!

Come to our yard sale tomorrow! We’ve got tons of wedding goodies ready for you. All proceeds go to charity.

Happy wedding weekend to all our belles and beaus saying “I do,” including our Southern Bride Blogger, Victoria. We’re sending out virtual hugs to all of you!

Before y’all head out for the weekend, be sure to check out the super adorable one-year anniversary session by Kayci Lee on our Facebook Friday!

Have a fun weekend, my friends!

Happy Friday, my dear friends! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to do absolutely nothing this weekend. Emily and I traveled to South Carolina for another V6 photo shoot this week and the next four weekends are full of my own personal travel plans. So I intend to just enjoy my apartment for the next two days (and catch up with my momma on Sunday, of course!).

Speaking of travel, we were blissfully (and okay, jealously,) soaking in the photos from Emily’s honeymoon to Nevis, where she and John stayed at the beautiful Montpelier Plantation and Nisbet Plantation.

With two shoots for V6 now finished, we think it’s high time we gave you a proper sneak peek! Last week’s shoot with Katie Stoops was berry exciting!

We’re even giving away two High Cotton bow ties from the shoot to celebrate! Enter here.

We think moms are the backbone of the South and love that weddings and Mother’s Day are both wonderful excuses to publicly honor them. We posted a few of our favorite mom-centered wedding moments.

Real weddings steal our hearts!

Molly Gee + Justin’s Mississippi wedding was full of lovely details, gorgeous flowers and the bride’s own designs! See it here.

Kelly + Corey’s military wedding proved that distance is no obstacle in the face of true love! See it here.

Though wedding films generally put a smile on my face, Shirley + Lijay’s big day in Austin, Texas, was one that truly reflected their fun-loving personalities and chemistry together. Though a storm was headed straight for the city, their ceremony was all sunshine, making their vows even more special and showing us how adorable these two are together and how excited they are to start their married life! Sending big hugs to Vanessa McKellar for sending this our way!

From the bride:

Lijay and I live in San Francisco, but with both sides of our families back in Texas, there was no place more perfect to get married than our college town, Austin, TX. Our friends and family thought we were insane to have an outdoor wedding in Texas in the middle of the summer, but we assured them that we would keep the ceremony short and then everyone can retreat back into the hotel.

The one thing we could not plan for was the Texas thunderstorms. The week leading up to our wedding, temperatures averaged 109 degrees, so we planned to have the ceremony as close to sundown as possible. As we were getting ready, I kept looking out my window to watch the trees and the Texas flag blowing violently from the winds of the coming storm.

Our florists, Petal pushers, called my fiance to let him know that they were going to start moving their arrangements indoors. He said to wait as long as possible before doing so and “whatever you do…don’t tell
Shirley!” Our friends from Houston were calling to tell us that the storm had already blown past them and it was headed straight for Austin! My husband made the gutsy call to keep the ceremony outside and it turned out to be a wonderful ceremony. Once we got through the beautiful, picturesque ceremony, everyone moved inside for the cocktail hour. It couldn’t have been more than a few minutes before it started pouring outside. It was a Texas miracle!
