Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

This week has been a little crazy (the good kind). We’re in full blown V5 print prep, we’ve welcomed Mrs. Thomas back from the North and stores are starting to sell candy corn. It’s a good time. If you haven’t heard, V5 is officially going to be the biggest issue we’ve ever produced — both in terms of page count and circulation. Yahoo!! That means it’s time to celebrate, y’all. Save the date!

Our Honey List is gaining a North Carolina treasure. Lara’s trip to the Umstead Hotel and Spa left us craving a mini getaway.

When it comes to monograms, we’re full of nothing but good feelings. However, we know how confusing monogram etiquette can be! Thankfully, Emily from Emma J Design gave us some advice.

Of course, once we knew all about monogram etiquette, we had to do a round-up of our favorite lettered things!

Real Weddings are lovely

Lindsay + Jonathan’s Texas wedding boasted monograms and fun details in sweet pastels. See it here.

Liz + Josh’ springy mountain wedding was both rustic and bright. We love their peachy details and fun signage. See it here.

Kelly + Will’s colorful wedding was not only adorable, but included their sweet pug baby, Rosie! See it here.

The biggest hugs go out to the belles and beaus tying the knot this weekend, including our Southern Bride Blogger, Stephanie Marie! Congratulations, y’all!

Have an amazing weekend!

    Your second sentence about your busyness cracked me up-because of the candy corn part! That pink cake is gorgeous!

Happy September, y’all! The beginning of the month always means a Real Wedding round-up. Take a look at Emily’s, Marissa’s and my favorite things from August’s weddings. We’re also happy to introduce our intern, Alexia, who is joining us with her picks!

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Bride Lauren chose her dress not just because it’s beautiful, but because it made her feel comfortable. Isn’t that what we all want? It’s enough for it to top my list. Alexia loved the slim-fitting lace gown that Bonnie donned at her North Carolina wedding. Emily was perfectly smitten with the unique and flowing gown that Kelsey wore. Nicole’s backless dress instantly knocked Marissa off her feet.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: We think it’s hard to go wrong with full length black dresses. Marissa loved the way Melanie’s ‘maids looked in them. Emily adored the pretty blue dresses that Nicole’s gals wore and I thought Kelsey’s pink bridesmaid dresses were too fun. Alexia thought the softer pink frocks that Bonnie’s ladies wore were lovely.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: Alexia and Marissa agree, glitter and sparkles win! For them, Liz’s shoes and Bonnie’s bridal accessories were perfection. I thought Emily’s yellow wedding shoes were an adorable addition to her gown. Emily loved Alise’s fluffy lace-trimmed veil.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: The men at Xaviera + Chris’s wedding were nothing short of well-dressed. I loved their black and grey suits and sweet succulent and rose boutonnieres. Marissa fell for the dress blues that Jake donned on the big day. Alexia couldn’t get enough of the dapper gingham-wearing gents at Caitlyn + John’s wedding. Emily thought the Evan’s groomsmen looked cool and casual.

FAVORITE DETAIL: We are never short of amazing details on the blog. This month was particularly hard to narrow down. Marissa was a fan of Xaviera + Chris’s altar setup, with beautiful draping and a floral cross. Alexia (our resident glitter queen), couldn’t get enough of the glittery place cards at Bonnie + Armon’s tables. We’re sure that the glittery linens at Melanie + Joe’s reception have a reserved spot in Emily’s heart forever. I just loved the sweet printed dinner napkins and rosemary-adorned place settings at Emily + Chester’s reception. Not only was it beautiful, but it was sweet and sentimental. All of us agreed that Alise + Conor’s chair decorations topped the list! Beautiful, sweet and Johnny Cash? Win.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: Alise + Conor’s beautiful church ceremony won Alexia’s heart. I thought Ali + Austin’s front porch I do’s were sweet and lovely. Marissa loved the Southern outdoor ceremony that Emily + Morgan created and Emily adored the lakeside vows of Katie + Mike.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: The wildly shaped fun and colorful bouquets at Caitlyn + John’s wedding were a favorite for Alexia. Emily was crazy about Kelsey’s pink bouquet with its sweet blue ribbon wrap. I loved the pretty purple bouquet that Madeline carried down the aisle and Marissa was a fan of Xaviera’s white blooms paired with textured leaves.

FAVORITE SWEET: We had some yummy treats in this month’s Real Weddings! I thought Katie + Mike’s pink flower cake was adorable. Emily just loved the strawberry pies on each table at Lauren + Jake’s wedding. Alexia picked Bonnie + Armon’s burlap-adorned sweets table and Marissa chose the ribbon-backed table at Nicole + Rob’s reception.

FAVORITE PHOTO: I love ending with our favorite photos. Alexia thought Nicole + Rob’s post-ceremony kiss was lovely. Emily immediately fell for the sweet photo of Ali and her dad at their father-daughter dance. Marissa loved the fun trampoline-goers at Lauren + Jake’s wedding. I adored the sparkler-framed kiss that Ali + Austin shared at the end of the night.

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.
