SURPRISE, y’all! We just couldn’t wait any longer! We’re so excited to reveal the cover of V4!!!
We are all smitten with the bold and beautiful blue, as well as the always and completely gorgeous work of one Mr. Jose Villa. We love you, Jose!! This gorgeous gem, featuring real-life Southern sweethearts Amy and Quincy, was shot at Dunaway Gardens in Georgia, and we can’t wait for you to feast your eyes on the whole shoot! Oh Heavens, this issue is jam-packed with goodness!
And oh yes, remember how we’ve been talking about how fat V4 is? Here’s proof!
Impressive, huh?
After months of bursting at the seams, we are so excited to share this first snippet of V4 with y’all! We hope you love her as much as we do, and can’t wait for you to crack open a copy of your very own so soon! YEEHAW!!!
Pre-orders will begin shipping out in less than a week (next Wednesday, October 19!), so if you want to be the first of your friends to snag a copy, go here to place your order! The rest of the copies are scheduled to land on newsstands on October 25, but it’s entirely possible they might show up sooner, so keep your eyes peeled!
AND, now that the cat is out of the bag, it’s time to start up the V4 twitpic contest! As soon as a V4 is in your possession, tweet us a photo on Twitter with the hashtag #SWV4! Tweet us a pic of the issue at your local newsstand, a pic of you with your copy or feel free to get creative! You’ll be in the running for endless SW bragging rights, and maybe some other cool prizes. And yes, these entries will be included in our official V4 photo contest, which will launch on the on-sale date of October 25!
Now tell us: What do y’all think??

What a fantastic magazine! I have been on the lookout for this issue and actually let out a little gasp when I saw it! I am getting married at Dunaway Gardens next May, so to see the beautiful photos taken there made me fall in love with the place all over again. Thank you, ladies, for creating such an inspiring magazine!
