Our Monthly Real Wedding Round-Ups are always one of my favorites to put together and write. Taking a look back on October and November’s weddings with Sierra and Whitney was so much fun. We love so many things about each of the weddings we post, and rediscovering the highlights from them makes our hearts happy and our Pinterest boards fill up. Without further ado, let’s take a look!
FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: With a dreamy fabric, sweet straps and a bow in the back, Whitney couldn’t resist Marilisa’s dress. Suzanne’s lacy white gown with a creamy sash took Sierra’s vote, while I couldn’t help but add Ashley’s rosette and bow-backed dress to my list of highlights.
FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: Of course, we had to give major kudos to the lovely ladies who stood by our brides’ sides on their big day. The neutral-hued and mix-and-match dresses that Ashley’s ‘maids sported caught my eye. Caroline’s pink and green bridesmaids’ dresses were a favorite of Sierra’s and it was the bright coral frocks from Suzanne’s wedding that won Whitney over.
FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: Being the classic Southern gal that she is, Whitney was smitten with Ashley’s accessories. Pearls and hankies? We couldn’t love them more! I, personally, loved the pink wildflower hair wreaths from Stephanie + Erik’s wedding. Sierra couldn’t choose just one — both the sparkly flats and the adorable flower girl headbands from Melissa + Matthew’s wedding stole her heart.
FAVORITE MENSWEAR: I love seeing how our dapper Southern gents dress on the big day! Melissa + Matthew’s family won me over. The plaid beret, snazzy blazer and fun pennants? Who couldn’t love that? Sierra had to give a big kudos to the gentlemen in Marilisa + Taylor’s wedding. They rocked the blue gingham and yellow boutonnieres, effectively stealing our hearts. But it was the velvet-wrapped boutonnieres from Stephanie + Erik’s wedding that took the cake for Whitney.
FAVORITE DETAIL: I’m sure it was Sierra’s design-savvy that made Caroline + Tyler’s letterpressed invitations shoot to the top of her highlights. For Whitney, it was the custom embroidery on the ties at Melissa + Matthew’s wedding that made the cut. Embroidery stole my heart, too, with Jamie + Dan’s his and hers chair covers.
FAVORITE BOUQUET: Caroline’s lush bouquet with unexpected snow on the mountain was a favorite of Sierra’s. Whitney was a big fan of Suzanne’s classic white bouquet. I loved the simple green and white arrangements carried by Ashley’s bridesmaids.
FAVORITE SWEET: The Southern Weddings gals have a collectively large sweet tooth, so pulling the highlights under this category always comes with laughs (and cravings). For Whitney, the hummingbird cake and sweet favors from Jamie + Dan’s wedding won out. Sierra couldn’t help but love Caroline + Tyler’s swiss-dotted and peony-topped cake. Always the pie-fan, I was smitten with the welcoming pie bar at Melissa + Matthew’s wedding.
FAVORITE PHOTO: Southern and sweet, Marilisa + Taylor’s photo by the hay bale was one of Sierra’s favorites. For Whitney, love won out in two weddings. The sweet kisses shared by Suzanne + Keith and Stephanie + Erik made her heart melt. I couldn’t help but fall for the joy and happiness that came with Jamie + Dan’s sparkler send-off.

I am just a few months out from my wedding and have been documenting things along the way. I’d love to be included! :)
I’m just three months away from marrying my high school sweetheart and started documenting a little of the planning process: filesofpdf.blogspot.com. I don’t blog every week but I wish I did! :)
hi! i’ve loved your previous picks (style me swanky is one of my fav blogs!), and would be super thrilled to be included among those ladies. i’m planning a july wedding in downtown nashville and you can see all my wedding related posts right here: http://www.hifromcolorado.com/search/label/wedding%20wednesday
I’m engaged to the most wonderul man in the world (sorry ladies!). I’m blogging each step of our wedding planning to keep not just family and friends in the loop, but anyone else who is planning too! We’re getting married in SC in August (7 months, whew!) and couldn’t be more excited about it. We live in Charlotte right now and will be making our way a little farther South after our nuptials. My blog has included everything so far from venue searching to bridesmaid gifts to suits for the boys and of course, my gorgeous gown. Take a peek and let me know what you think!
I’m not exactly a bride, but a bride’s mom that blogs. My site was inspired by my own daughter’s wedding that was featured in V%…Hailey and Rhet! Would love to be on your list!
I recently got engaged and it was completely unexpected. I am not getting married until June 28, 2014, but I am doing a lot of planning now because living in Raleigh, things get booked up quickly!
I’m a born and raised Carolina girl who is in the process of juggling life planning a wedding in May of 2013 to my high school sweet heart while also navigating my last year of college and the job search! I’ve had my lifestyle blog for a few years and have recently added posts about the progress of my wedding planning and am planning on consciously adding more in the new year!

I’m an avid Southern Wedding blog reader and fairly obsessed with all things wedding :) To be a bride to the love of my life is probably one of the most exciting things EVER! Matt and I have been together almost 6 years and we’re getting married this July in Virginia. I can’t WAIT to be his wife :) I started randomly blogging wedding updates on our wedding website last year. My 2013 resolution is to blog EVERY day leading up to the wedding. I’ve always loved READING wedding blogs and I think it’s time I try a hand at being consistent with it! Emily’s post about writing down everything that happened on her wedding day really struck me – SO much time is going into this and it’s going to go by SO fast. Blogging is a great way to not only help other brides & wedding obsessed ladies, but to remind me in the months to come of all that’s happening! I’d love to add the “southern bride blogger” badge to my “little details” wedding blog :)
You know, I’m just going to get engaged so I could because a Southern Bride Blogger LOL

I’d love to join this! I read every post, but I don’t live in the South. I’m from the Chicago area, but my tastes all revolve around southern charm and taste! Maybe if you open your parameters a bit I could join in and grab a badge. :)
