Okay, we’re making progress on the bulletin board front. Currently, there are two holes above my desk. I’d call that a major improvement! Don’t be fooled, y’all, I promise we’re quite handy! We just need to work on acquiring a measuring tape and a level for the office.
In other news, we went a Valentine’s Day-happy pinning spree this week. Once you take a look at the features we posted about this week, you’ll know exactly why! And if you haven’t seen it, we’ve added a handy “Pin It” button to the bottom of every post. In addition to all the pinning, we also had a little party and made this awesome (a.k.a slightly awkward) video for y’all.
We started off the week with Chaviano Couture’s gorgeous 2012 collection. Annette, the designer behind these beauties drew inspiration from all things feminine and romantic. Be still, my heart!
We couldn’t help but throw in a fun giveaway for the Swoon Event! We love how this Southern bridal event is a wedding market AND a party. If you’re in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area, be sure to enter to win two tickets here!
Two weeks ago, Emily spoke at Branches & Light, a photography workshop for ladies organized by Nancy Ray and Caroline Joy. The images produced by the workshop shoot were perfect for Valentine’s Day and we had to share!
Do you believe in Valentine’s Day? Our hilarious and wise guest columnist, Katie from Marriage Confessions, tells us all about what love can do in a marriage. (But unfortunately, no, it does not pay the power bill.)
Marissa and her hubs celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary in December and took a trip to the Florida Keys to celebrate. Marissa proved that the Ocean Key Resort & Spa was a wonderful addition to the Honey List! Their warm and welcoming employees and casually luxurious atmosphere make for the perfect combination.
While we’re in the process of rounding up our favorite Southern Weddings images and decorating our office walls, we thought we’d share a bit about what makes these images so special and why we swoon every time we see them. It’s film, y’all. (Plus the amazing work of Richard Photo Lab!)
Emily’s wedding planning is really underway! Many of the logistics have been decided, so of course she had to move into hair and makeup updates! She’s still torn between options, but with the gorgeous inspiration she wrangled up, can she really go wrong?
Oh, y’all. I always love Marissa’s Southern Delicacy series because those treats always look delicious! This week, we’re all about King Cake and Mardi Gras.
What does one wear to a black tie wedding? Y’all know we love formality, gorgeous dressed and dapper-dressed beaus as much as we love our cowboy boots in the South. Marissa walks us through the expectations and provides a few gorgeous options in her Southern Style column!
We were happy to take a look back on Carolyn + Dustin’s wedding in the featured Real Wedding Gallery of the week! Their clean pink and orange details won us over.
We love love. Real Weddings from this week:
Valerie + Kevin’s wedding was a family effort that boasted gorgeous pink details and a huge group of friends! See it here.
Blair + Luke’s red wedding blew us out of the water — how perfect for Valentine’s Day! The Southern soiree was complete with gorgeous calligraphy and a bright, bold tent. See it here.
Good news for the weekend!

[…] Saturday, I spent the morning at the Southern Weddings Yard Sale. Among all the wedding wares and random yard sale items, there was a jug of sweet tea and a plate […]
