It’s really a joy to get to introduce y’all to a new set of Blue Ribbon Vendors each month, because I just know any one of them would be a joy to you if you choose to work together! This time around, we’re introducing you to a few of them through their answers to some of our favorite BRV interview questions. Click through to their listings to find out more about them!
Name: Vista West Ranch
Where you call home: Dripping Springs, Texas
Favorite part of a wedding day? For me, it’s when the couple checks in — going over all of the activities, making sure that everything is in order, and being able to talk with them as they arrive at VWR. Seeing all of the excitement that is building up before the festivities start is my favorite part.
Name: Two Sweets Bake Shop
Where you call home: Winter Garden, Florida
Best piece of advice for brides and grooms? When considering your dessert options, give some thought to offering a variety of desserts to your guests. Just about every dessert can be created in small portions, allowing guests to select from several offerings. They’ll love you for it!
Name: Tucker Images
Where you call home: Crandall, Texas
How I got into weddings: Since I was young I knew that I wanted to make people happy for a living. I didn’t have a clue how I was going to do that but my junior year in college when I was hired to work with a wedding photographer I quickly started to realize that shooting weddings embodied everything I love: big moments, joyful people, and pretties!
Name: Tres Beau Weddings
Where you call home: Hoover, Alabama
How I got into weddings: I think it started with my sixth birthday party: a “Here Comes the Bride”-themed party! Then, I joke that I just never got over planning my own wedding in 2001. I also went to culinary school and learned about event management while working at Saks Fifth Avenue’s corporate headquarters!
Name: Tracy Melton Artistry
Where you call home: Dallas, Texas
Favorite part of a wedding day? Well the ‘getting ready’ part, of course! :) I love getting to spend that precious time with brides and their best ladies. It’s always such a fun time filled with laughter, love, hairspray, and lipstick – which just so happen to be a few of my favorite things!!
Name: The Southern Barn
Where you call home: Fort Lonesome, Florida
How I got into weddings: The Southern Barn at Lonesome G Ranch began when our son was married on the ranch. This was the beginning of many weddings for our family and friends. When the word about our passion to create beautiful unique Southern vintage style weddings spread, The Southern Barn name was created.
Name: The Reason
Where you call home: Atlanta, Georgia
How we got into weddings: Our love for marriage got us into weddings. We want to give our clients something that no matter how far in the future, they can always look back and remember why. We’re best friends and married. We get to work together; it’s simply the best thing ever.
Name: The Chef Next Door
Where you call home: Huntsville, Alabama
Favorite part of a wedding day? It’s a tie: either seeing the bride’s face as she sees her reception for the first time… hopefully, her dream come true! Or the hug from the bride and groom at the end of the night. I’m sweaty, my hair is in a dirty bun, and I smell like food, but it’s that hug that makes my job worth doing and solidifies that I am where I am meant to be in the world.
Name: Swanky I Do’s
Where you call home: Orlando, Florida
Favorite thing about weddings in the South? I love the emphasis on details and hospitality, and that venues range from barns to waterfront properties.
Name: Suite Paper
Where you call home: Cameron, North Carolina
Favorite part of a wedding day? I’m a sucker for the kiss!
Check out all of our favorite vendors in the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory! I also wanted to mention that we’re working particularly hard to expand some of our areas of slim pickings – namely, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. If you would like to recommend someone (or nominate yourself!) for any of these states, please email emily at southernweddings.com!
I love the ‘Modern Romance’ motif! Reminds me of the LOVE statue by Robert Indiana.
They are all super cute, but I think that Timeless Photo is my favorite.
I adore the “Devoted” Post-Card Save the Date. Simple, classic and just what I was looking for.
My favorite design on MagnetStreet Weddings is the Urban Romance layout!
http://www.magnetstreet.com/details/market/517/productId/48363 is my FAVORITE! It can be used as a magnet for the long haul too since it’s more of a picture and less of an invite!
I love Rooftop Party! Matches our colors and theme perfectly.
I love the “Our Sweet Love” design in the standard postcard!
My favorite design is Secret Garden! It reminds me of my favorite song, “snow outside”, by Dave Matthews. Because my fiancé is like my secret garden… Navy is our color too!
Love the watercolor floral design! It’s not often you see a Save the Date without a picture of the couple. It’s nice to see something different; and the colors are beautiful!
I love the “Timeless Photo” magnet! So simple, so clean, and it really allows you to focus on the beauty of the photo! Beautiful.
They are all so beautifully designed. My favorite is Best Day Ever! Fingers crossed!
I would love to win these! I wasn’t planning on sending save the dates because they can be expensive and I’m still in college, but they are such an important and fun part of the wedding! I love the classic save the dates that feature colored engagement photos!
I absolutely love the bold text overlays with the black and white photos! It makes such a romantic save the date.
There’s so many great ones to choose from! But I love the Vintage Affair. The font is beautiful and I love that you can put 2 pictures on it!
I love “Photo Ampersand.” Classic, yet modern!
I LOVE the chalkboard card! So fun and perfect for a wedding with a little rustic charm!
I love the side by side save the date magnets! We would be forever grateful to win some for our special day!

I LOVE so many of the designs. It would be hard to pick just one!

I adore the Ritz and Romance style!
It appears my first round didn’t post! Which is great because I just saw “Sweetly Charmed”

So in love with Secret Garden! The blue and white is a a classic!
I loved all the magnets! But if I had to choose one, modern flirtation was my favorite. What a fantastic idea! I love this.
Two of my favorite designs are the ‘Photo Ampersand’ and the ‘Love Compass.’ The magnets are such a great idea, and make it easy for your guests to keep track of as well. So many cute ones, it was hard to decide!
I absolutely cannot pick between “Our Sweet Love” and “A Charmed Engagement” but I know I love the Standard Post Card style!
I love “Starry Night!” So romantic and sweet!
i like the black & white with bold overlay text
My best friend and I are both getting married this year. We are standing in each other’s weddings, so our opinions mean a lot to each other. She ordered her Save The Dates from Magnet Street, and I became hooked! I can’t remember why style she has but they came quickly and are flawless. I went home this weekend after seeing them in person and immediately ordered a sample pack from the site. I love the Luminous Charm style, as it would be perfect for the small rustic wedding my fiancé and I are planning! Thanks for the opportunity :)
I love the clean and classic design of “Photo Ampersand”! Thanks for the giveaway!
