by Jess Metcalf in Main on March 8, 2017

Update: We’ve secured our models for the Raleigh shoot on March 23, but we’re still accepting model submissions for our upcoming Mobile, AL and Laurel, MS shoots!

The onset of March has the SW ladies excited about sunshine-filled days, our own version of March Madness, and most importantly, kicking off editorial season for our tenth anniversary issue! We’ve spent months dreaming up our best ideas to celebrate 10 issues of Southern Weddings, and we’re going to need your help to bring those visions to life!

Hello. My name is lorie gregg and I sell a beautiful line of jewelry designed in NY called Chloe and Isabel. I would LOVE to provide jewelry for this shoot if you are in need. Check out the site mentioned above and let me know. I’ve worked several bridal shows in the past and the majority of my retail experience prior to my 3 years with chloe and isabel was with anthropologie in Southern California. Thanks so much!

Mason-Dixon Madness 2017: The Round of 64

by Kristin in In The Office on March 7, 2017

While SEC football gets a lot of attention when it comes to wedding planning, the SW office is located in the heart of ACC Basketball country. So it’s pretty easy to see how March Madness takes over the office around this time every year, especially with an office full of Tar Heel Alums! While might not all agree on which basketball team to cheer for (ahem, Emily Thomas), we all agree that this time of year should be celebrated in high style: welcome to Mason-Dixon Madness 2017—a Southern food tournament!

This year, our tournament begins with 64 of the best and brightest Southern food favorites, divided by course so that fried chicken doesn’t go head-to-head with mac and cheese in the first round. Each week, y’all will get the chance to weigh in on your favorite Southern delicacies until we whittle things down to the championship match-up on April 3rd!

Will there be some upsets in the first round? Will Cheerwine be take home the crown again or will my beloved sweet tea reign victorious? Need to brush up your Southern delicacies? Check out our past Southern Delicacy columns or call your mama. Educate yourself on Goo Goo Clusters and chow chow. First round voting will be open until March 12 when we’ll set the winners up for the round of 32!

Invite your beau and your best gals to join you and help us decide what will ultimately be named the best bite or beverage in Dixie! Take a break from wedding planning and spend some quality time with your favorite people debating the finer points of pecan pie and banana pudding (my darling KPW considers himself an expert on both). Good chance you might learn a thing or two about your friends and family in the process.

Vote in the first round of 64 below!

Feel free to print your own bracket (download it here), fill in your favorites and see if you can pick our 2017 champion. I will be rooting hard for sweet tea and mac and cheese ;) May the best food (or drink) win!

Written with love by Kristin

Oops! I don’t think one of the answers get added… moonpie vs. red velvet. I’m good with voting for both though! :)

South Carolina Wedding | If we had to pick one single wedding that embodies everything we love about the South, it would be this one.
