Southern Weddings V6: Deep in the Heart of Texas

by Lisa in Inspirations, Main on November 12, 2013

Oh my stars, we are so excited to share more of our beautiful V6 Texas shoot! After V5’s beloved Yellow Rose shoot, we were thrilled to bring this stellar team of Texas vendors together again to celebrate another classic Texan folk song–this time, the beloved “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” Stefanie Miles planned and styled the most beautiful setup in the middle of a North Texas wheat field, and every detail was captured to perfection by Ryan Ray. Unsurprisingly, the results were truly breathtaking!

Bows + Arrows created the most exquisite bouquets, using all different white blooms and the prettiest ribbon from FrouFrou Chic. We love how the flowers pop against our night sky-inspired color palette!

One of our top must-haves for this shoot was a cowboy groom. Blair certainly fit the bill in his handsome hat, and I’m sure y’all will agree, that lasso is the perfect finishing touch.

Oh, this dress! I can hardly wait to print the picture below for my bulletin board. There were audible cheers from the office when Marissa told us we had secured this sparkly Monique Lhuillier for our shoot!

One of our absolute favorite comments from SW readers so far has been that our V6 cover couple looks so in love. Well, friends, that’s because they are! We’re truly delighted to have a real married couple on our cover: our sweet friend (and BRV member!) Christina of Christina Leigh Events and her husband. Their love truly shines off the page and we think they represent our mission so beautifully.

We’re overjoyed with how the details of this shoot came together. From a gauzy backdrop with handpainted calligraphy to flower girl tutus made of 250+ yards of tulle, everything looks so stunning against the open landscape that is so typical of Texas.

Could this tablescape get any prettier? LOOT Vintage Rentals brought some of their incredible inventory all the way from Austin to be part of the shoot. We’re also smitten with the star garland!

We’ve featured some lovely pies in SW history, but these just may be some of the prettiest. Layered Bake Shop hit it out of the park with luscious blueberry and pecan pies, complete with dreamy star details. The sparkly “Just Married” shooting star cutout is a show stopper!

We are so smitten with the V6 cover and couldn’t be happier with how this shoot turned out! Be sure to check out our print edition for lots more! We’d love to know, what’s your favorite detail of this shoot?

Sneak Peek at Our First V6 Shoot + a Giveaway!

by Emily in Contests, In The Office, Main on May 9, 2013

Hello, belles! Nicole and I have spent the last two days in sunny (thank goodness!) South Carolina shooting an editorial for the next issue. It’s been a V6 whirlwind around these parts, actually – we wrapped a shoot in NC last week, we have another scheduled for next week, and are just diving into planning two others for June! You won’t hear a peep of complaint from our lips, though — it makes us positively giddy to piece together beauty we know will eventually make it onto the printed page!

Before too much time gets behind us we wanted to give y’all a little peek at what we’ve been up to. We were lucky to have Graham Terhune on hand to snap behind-the-scene shots on the actual shoot day, but our instagrams will have to tide you over until V6 debuts!

Like so many of our photoshoots (yesterday’s, too!), this joint was the first stop of the day:

We were thrilled to have the chance to work with Katie Stoops again, of course. You may recall she photographed our Williamsburg and Richmond features from past issues!

That’s our intern Jessica up there with Katie, Nicole, and me!

Happily, shoot prep always leaves pretty — and tasty! — extras around the office. Don’t mind if I do…

I’ll leave you with my favorite snap from the day: This was Ms. Katie taking photos of the pretty we had created, but doesn’t this scene look worthy of capture, too? Such an amazing field of clover — we had never seen anything like it!

That may be the last sneak peek you get from our first V6 shoot, but we have more surprises for you! Before you get too antsy with anticipation, we have a fun giveaway for y’all! Our good friends at High Cotton happily gave us a couple of boys bow ties to use for some special gents in this shoot. We couldn’t wait to do a V6 giveaway!

To enter, leave a comment below telling us about the best biscuit you’ve ever tasted and which bow tie you’d love to win. Will it be the Red and White Mini Dot bow tie or the Nantucket Seersucker Stripe bow tie? Tell us before this giveaway closes at midnight on May 22.

If you’re not already, be sure to follow us on Instagram as we spend the summer prepping for V6! We’re here: Southern Weddings, Lara, Emily, Nicole, Marissa, and Kristin.

P.S. Vendors, interested in joining in the fun? We’re working with lots of sponsors already for V6, and would love to have you, too! Email Marissa (marissa at iloveswmag.com) or fill out this form for more info.

Graham Terhune is a delightful member of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Where can I get the monagram keepsake?
- Emily May 10, 2013 reply
  
  Hi Maria! I’m not sure what keepsake you’re referring to, as I don’t see one in this post. If you can be more specific, I’m happy to help!
Emily Barrois May 9, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever had was honestly made by my dad. He learned how to make his own to avoid the sodium of canned. Now he never uses a recipie but always manages to make a fluffy, flakey on the outside, soft on the inside mound of awesome. Last christmas we had leftover eggnog so the day after he used that instead of milk. It transformed his already yummy biscuit into a holiday tradition we’re going to repeat every year! And he was so proud of himself.

The polka dot bowtie would be adorable on my dad and make a great addition to his father’s day present. I dressed him up in bowties for my wedding and now he loves them!
Jillian May 9, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever tasted actually came from Poppey’s Chicken! My fiance loves their chicken and convinced me to try their buscuits! One bite and I was hooked! Now I need to the recipe! I would love to win the Nantucket Seersucker Stripe bow tie!
Lauren May 9, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I have ever had was homemade by my boyfriends mother – I spread it with pepper jelly and it was absolutely amazing. I would love to win the Red and White Mini Dot bow tie.
Elizabeth @ HobbyLobbyist May 9, 2013 reply

I would love to win the polka dot tie, but both are precious!
- Elizabeth @ HobbyLobbyist May 10, 2013 reply
  
  Elizabeth @ HobbyLobbyist: Oops, forgot to mention the best biscuit I ever had. It was outside of Houston at an amazing brunch place called Baby Barnaby’s. They have the most amazing honey biscuits ever!
Emily May 9, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever had was my Granddaddy’s “drop biscuits” which he always smothered in gravy. You basically make a simple biscuit dough and then rather than measuring or cutting the dough precisely, you scoop it out of a spoon and “drop” it onto the baking dish.

Rob loves his bow ties and loves his seersucker, so I’d love to win the Nantucket Seersucker Stripe bow tie!
Janna May 9, 2013 reply

Love the sneak peeks! I love the red striped tie! Perfect for my date for a late summer wedding we are going to!

My all time favorite biscuit is my grandma’s biscuits! With some butter and strawberry jam we make every year- it’s the bee’s knees! Yum!
Romance May 9, 2013 reply

My grandmother’s Cream Cheese Biscuits. She says the trick is to fold them 18 times, to them get nice and flaky, but I know there’s more to it, because her’s always come out better than mine!

The Nantucket Seersucker, please!
Candice May 9, 2013 reply

Best biscuit I have ever had was a maple bacon sweet potato biscuit. Savory and sweet at the same time! Nothing better than a unique southern style biscuit!! As far as the bow tie, I love the red and white mini dot bow tie. My fiance is loves bow ties and this would be a great one for him and our style!
Samantha May 10, 2013 reply

The best biscuit that I have tasted BY FAR would have to be my Nannies (great grandmother) family recipe. It was so good it didn’t need a topping, but she canned jams as well and her peach jam was To. Die. For. That Nantucket seersucker bow tie is almost as amazing as my Nannie’s biscuits!! ;)
Maddie May 10, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever had was at The Roanoker in Roanoke, VA–SO amazingly fluffy and light–maybe even better than your grandma’s?!

I would love, love to win the red-white polka dotted tie. :)
amanda May 10, 2013 reply

I have to say the best biscuit I’ve ever tasted is my mother’s gravy biscuit breakfast! I LOOOOVE it! And no where I’ve been can compare. And my husband loves it too and would LOVE to win the the mini dot bow tie! Especially for all our NCSU pride ;)
Anna May 10, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever tasted was at Monell’s in Nashville, Tennessee. It was warm, falling apart with butteriness, and smothered in delicious peach preserves!
Katie Haviland May 10, 2013 reply

Best Biscuit ever was from Loveless Cafe in Nashville, TN. So yummy!

I would love the Red & White Mini-Dot bow tie!
Peyton Leigh May 11, 2013 reply

Hands down, the best biscuit I’ve ever had was made by my sweet Grandma Jane. She made them every Easter, and they were always the most anticipated treat of the day! Warm and buttery, and slathered with honey :) And as far as the bow ties go, the seersucker striped oen is just the most darling thing I’ve ever seen! Beautiful shoots this week, take care!
Lena May 12, 2013 reply

This Yankee and her Texan are headed to Savannah and Charleston this summer, and I can’t wait to taste a whole pile of biscuits; John decked out in that red polka dot tie would be the perfect cherry on top!
Marc May 12, 2013 reply

The best biscuit i’ve ever had was my Momma’s. Just amazing. I’d love that polka dot tie.
Louisa May 13, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I’ve ever tasted was at Shoney’s somewhere in Tennessee. It was the first biscuit I ever had. I am from Germany and I didn’t know what it was but after the first bite I realized that I loved it! I’d love to win the Nantucket Seersucker Stripe bow tie.
Whitney May 14, 2013 reply

The best biscuit I have ever tasted are the ones I make. I use lard for the fat – they come out so fluffy but with a really good flavor! But I never tell people until after they’ve tasted, because they are usually grossed out. My fiance is a UGA grad and would love to have either – but I think I like the dots better for him!
Hollie Raulerson May 15, 2013 reply

Hands down…the best biscut is in Atlanta, at the Flying Biscut Cafe!! Their tangy cranberry butter is a superb compliment to a slightly sweet biscut!
Laura May 21, 2013 reply

By far, the best biscuit I have ever had was from Loveless Cafe in Nashville. I ate at least 6 or 7 in one sitting! I would love to win the Nantucket Seersucker Stripe Bow Tie.
