Hey, y’all! Just a quick reminder before we head out for the weekend that there are only about two weeks left to get your entries in for our second Ultimate Southern Challenge! This time it’s all about mason jars.
An entry from our first Ultimate Southern Challenge — see the rest here!
You can see all the glorious details on this post. Be sure to get your photos in by October 7 — we can’t wait to see what y’all come up with!
Hi, my Southern belles! I have three lovely sponsors to introduce you to before the week is over.
Shannon Cunningham shoots weddings in “Austin, the Texas Hill Country, and beyond”! I love that, don’t you? I also love her knack for capturing the unplanned, emotional, sweet moments between couples and their wedding guests (like the one above!) that inevitably unfold but aren’t always recorded. You can see more of Shannon’s lovely work on her blog and site!
Blue Dove Studio specializes in handmade jewelry for your wedding day (or, really, just any old day!). Her pieces are inspired by nature, and she LOVES custom orders. A few of my favorites are above, but you can check out many more examples in Blue Dove’s Etsy shop!
Last but certainly not least we have Camille Deann, a portrait and wedding photographer based in Georgia. The shots above are actually from Camille’s very own wedding reception! I couldn’t resist the shot of that banana pudding — so Southern! Actually, I should say that these photos are from Camille’s second, at-home reception — you’ll have to wait a bit to see the main event (hint hint!). In the meantime, you can see more of Camille’s work on her blog.
Interested in joining the Southern Weddings family? We are always accepting online advertisers, but there are only a few days left to reserve your spot in V4, our next print edition. Just fill out this form and Whitney will be in touch with a few special offers!
We’re also accepting applications for our Blue Ribbon Vendor section — the contact form is the place to get all the details on that, too!
The Southern Weddings girls have been as busy as bees and we are simply thrilled to share some of the fabulous projects we’ve been working on with you!
The first big project we’ve been working on? We are turning our editorial eye to our former Wedding Resource Directory, and will soon be launching an index of the absolute best vendors the South has to offer to our darling brides.
Introducing the Blue Ribbon Vendor directory! Vendors, if you’re devoted to the client experience, produce exemplary work, and have glowing peer and client reviews to back you up, you could be just the type of vendor we’re looking for. Just contact me for an application!
BUT we’ve got even more Southern goodness up our sleeve! As you know, we’ve SOLD OUT of all of our previous editions, but we don’t want to leave those of you that didn’t manage to get a copy of V1, V2 or V3 high and dry.
To that end, we will be releasing digital versions of V1, V2 and V3 for y’all! The Trilogy, as we’ve dubbed it, will be available to view any time right here on the blog.
Any vendor that purchases a full page ad (or larger) in V4 will also get a complimentary full page ad in all three digital issues in The Trilogy! If you are not a V4 advertiser but would still like to advertise in The Trilogy, just send me an email and I’ll get right back to you.
Yippee, y’all! What do you think of our good news?
How do I order these adorable sweet tea escort cards for my southern themed wedding? Love these!
Hi Heather! These adorable escort cards were masterminded by Chelsea at Southern Fried Paper. Her website is southernfriedpaper.com — I’m sure she’d LOVE to make you a set!
