Happy Fourth of July, ladies + gents! We hope you’re celebrating with your families, eating barbecue (whether you like it Memphis style, Western North Carolina style, or Eastern North Carolina style, like me!), diving into some red velvet cake and heading out for fireworks this evening. We’ll see you back here tomorrow with our regular posts, but in the meantime, lots of love from the SW crew!

Get it? Teal party, like a tea party that’s teal?? Teal with a pop of hot pink, to be exact :)

I was so inspired by the bright bridesmaid dresses in our real wedding post from a few weeks back that I decided to craft an inspiration board around them. Though this palette isn’t for the faint of heart, with a heavy dose of sophisticated neutrals, it could be quite perfect for the vibrant Southern gal (and her beau). I’m imagining just the faintest touch of tea party elements, paired with more modern touches like an ombre cake, to set the scene. What do you think – would you go for a palette this bold?

    I LOVE this inspiration board, Emily! I’m currently obsessed with both colors. I also love teal with pops of coral.

      I’m so glad you love it, Carly! And you’re right, teal with pops of coral is also an awesome combination :)

      Hey Emily! If this is your palette, you have GOT to check out the weddings of Elise + Matt and Hillary + Kyle on our site! Happy planning!

    Is that an ombre cake? The person who put together the cake did a wonderful job. This is a beautiful color combination.

Ever since we announced our first ever Pinterest contest, I know y’all have been eagerly awaiting an update! I am so excited to say we’ve chosen our three finalists from the 50+ entries (y’all made it hard!), and now we’re ready to vote! If you recall, we’re doing something a little bit different for the prizes this time around: the Southern Weddings ladies worked with three different vendors to choose a prize that corresponded to each finalist’s board, but only the finalist with the most votes will receive their hand-selected prize. Make sense?

Here are the nominees!

Finalist No. 1: Country Lush by Justine

If Justine receives the most votes, she’ll win an adorable cake stand from Sweet and Saucy Supply!

Finalist No. 2: Black Tie with Blue by Alexandra

If Alexandra receives the most votes, she’ll get to dress her gents in classic black bow ties from Ties.com!

Finalist No. 3: Peaches by Lisa

If Lisa receives the most votes, she’ll get to choose a lovely clutch from Oatmeal Lace Design!

The finalist who receives the most entries via comments on this post will win the prize that the Southern Weddings team has hand-selected for them! Please, only one vote per person (we can and will be checking IP addresses and deleting multiple comments from the same address to make sure everything stays fair!). We’ll announce a winner Monday, April 30, so get those votes in quick!

Jodi Miller, Nancy Ray, Jose Villa, Meredith Perdue, Amy Arrington, Melissa Schollaert, KT Merry, and Elizabeth Scott are all fabulous members of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!
