How was everyone’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend? We had a blast at our yard sale (thanks to all who came out!) and Lara + Ari celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary with Baby Grace. We love that L + A shared their rules for a happy marriage.

When Monday rolled around, we celebrated the first week of Spring with a pretty Cherry Blossoms Inspiration Board. Who else is dying for a trip to D.C. after seeing this board?

We’re thrilled to welcome our dearest co-worker, Marissa to her new role as Ad Director! Though y’all know her as our resident fashion expert, she’s also wonderful at helping our vendors shine! Get to know more about her here.

We’ve been waiting for this Southern Hospitality tote! Our home base of Chapel Hill is the center of attention this week.

We love the twists we’re seeing on the Southern Wedding Tradition of the first look. The images of the bride and groom calming each others’ nerves makes our hearts so happy!

This week was dominated by mostly pink things. Namely, Emily’s birthday party! Can y’all believe she baked cupcakes for her own party? There were delicious, though, so we didn’t complain. Read all her sweet birthday wishes here and leave some love!

We started off the week with a cute DIY from our friends at Yours is the Earth. They showed us how to make jam and provided us with printable labels! Adorable.

We started a new series, Southern Stems! This week, the state flower of Alabama, the camellia stole our heart.

Sierra shared her trip to the Red Horse Inn in South Carolina with us and well, let’s be honest, made the outdoor-lover in all of us a bit jealous. The Red Horse Inn is now a welcome addition to our Honey List!

We rounded-up all the winners from our past three giveaways with Andi Mans, The Swoon Event and MM Ink + Betsywhite Stationery! Congratulations to our lucky winners!

A giant, collective “awww” was heard around the South on Tuesday when Emily spotted children in seersucker!

Marissa made us a little green with envy, too, when she told us all about her trip to the Boca Beach Club! The new Honey List addition is so bright and fun, you’d think you might run into Lilly Pulitzer!

Emily caught us up on her wedding planning with a post about (my favorite part) the cake and other sweets! Hint: she’ll be doing some baking of her own!

It’s our first ever Pinterest Contest! All the ladies in the office have been curating their own picks on Pinterest, but now we want to see what you’ve come up with! Create your Dream Wedding Pinterest Board and you could win!

Marissa was right when she said this post would make us shed a tear! We love the Southern Tradition of doing the first look with your father!

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery was Lauren + Tommy. Their Oklahoma wedding was complete with a hay bale lounge area and orange flowers.

We love our weddings

Audrey + Jordan’s Alabama wedding was full of romantic flowers and lace and topped off with good ole Southern eats. See it here.

Good news is always welcome

We’re thrilled to welcome Taylor Lord, Geomyra Lewis, Dixie Pixel and Jose Villa to our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Recently engaged? You could win a chance to be on the cover of Engagement 101’s July issue. The chosen couple will also receive an extraordinary diamond ring designed by Artcarved. See Engagement 101’s Facebook page for more information.

If you haven’t yet, hop on over to our Facebook and check out this week’s Top Ten: Seersucker Details!

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

by in Main on

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!

Y’all know we love fun photo booths! A new iPad app called Wedding Booth makes it even easier to get on at your wedding by transforming your iPad into a fully customizable, inexpensive and fun DIY photo booth and guestbook for your wedding. Check out Wedding Booth’s website for more information!

MagnetStreet Weddings is celebrating Valentine’s Day! To give brides some sweet savings on wedding stationery, they’re offering a 21.4% discount to our friends! Head over to their site and use the promo code WEDLOVE214 before February 27.

Who wants to win $500 in wholesale wedding flowers?! Fifty Flowers is offering a giveaway to brides, planners, anyone! Each month, a new winner is selected. Head over to their Facebook page for more details!

Photographers, want to get published? Emily gave Shoot 2 Shoot a few trip and tricks, including what we love and what we look for in submissions. Check it out here!

Don’t forget to check out this week’s Facebook Top Ten. We’re all about peaches this week! Big thanks to Rachel Thurston for the photo of peach favors below.

Tell me what y’all are doing this weekend! I’m really looking forward to Sunday brunch with friends.
