Y’all should see our office right now! We’re swimming in post office receipts (more on that tomorrow) and squealing over our newest cover every time we see it. Even better, today we’re busting out the glitter to prepare for our big V5 Launch Party tomorrow! We are so excited to head over to the Carolina Inn to see everyone. The party is SOLD OUT, but see details below on how you can join us virtually!

We want to take another moment to thank everyone who is helping to make this party as amazing as we imagined! The Carolina Inn is graciously hosting us and creating a menu that is to die for. Rebecca from Millie Holloman Photography and The Cheese Photo Booth will be on hand to capture all of the fun moments, Callie’s Biscuits, J and R Foods and Ambrosia Cake Creations will be providing some yummy eats and Momental Designs, For Your Party, I Do Linens, Expressions of Love Florist, Fine & Dandy Party Shop, Floral Cotton, Stephanie Creekmur and A&P Designs are contributing some gorgeous details. Additionally, we’re so happy to have our friends the Bloomsbury Boys playing for us as well as some games from SC Cornhole.

With that lineup, can’t you tell we’re excited? We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces and their gold and glittery best! (Don’t have anything gold or glitter? That’s okay — come in your best cocktail attire!)

Just as a reminder, the party is SOLD OUT. We’re over capacity at the Carolina Inn, simply due to space limitations, but feel free to add yourself to the wait list on our Eventbrite page in case we have a ticket available for you later. PLEASE NOTE: You will need a printed ticket to be admitted to the party. Please print your ticket or bring a digital version on your mobile device! Parking? Head to the Inn’s valet stand or park right across the street from the Inn in the Nash lot.

JOIN US FROM YOUR COMPUTER! We’ll be live-streaming the event from our Ustream channel! Tune in here on Thursday to see what we’re up to.

See y’all tomorrow!

Last week, we pulled off a big first for us Southern Weddings ladies! We actually got one past the incredible Ms. Emily Ayer, and SURPRISED her with a mini-inspired bridal shower! That’s right, with the help of some really fabulous friends, we tricked our own little bride-to-be into thinking we were headed to high tea at The Carolina Inn. Then the doozy came – we were actually throwing HER a shower!

When we arrived, Lara presented Emily with the unbelievably adorable mini-invitation to her shower (awesome job, Amber!). As you can see below, she was a bit surprised!

Our friend Heidi, the Director of Catering at The Carolina Inn, joined forces with the fab Erin McLean to dream up this sweetly Southern and completely “Emily” shower! We told them our girl likes pink, cupcakes and mini things and then we sent them a link to Em’s blog. Heidi and Erin ran with it, and created awesomeness! Boy, have we got talented friends!

I also have to brag a bit on Nicole – not only did Nicole help plan this gorgeous event, but she sat next to Emily everyday for about two months without spilling the beans!

Isn’t this girl cute? Yes, we are lucky enough to work with her every day!

Big thanks to all our friends who came far and wide to celebrate our sweet bride-to-be! And big SW hugs to Cyn Kain for capturing all the divine details of the day!

Congratulations to you, Miss Em! We are beyond thrilled for you, know you will be a stunning bride. We wish you all the love in the world!
