Southern Weddings

Happy weekend, y’all! Can I get a coffee cup cheers to Saturday? Kristin and I are in recovery mode after five days at Bridal Market, and with V8 now off at the printers (!!), I think it’s safe to say that all of the SW gals are ready for a few days of sleeping in, taking it slow, and snuggling a little extra this weekend. What are your favorite ways to unwind after a long week? Let us know in the comments, and if one of your answers is “catching up on blogs,” then see below for all of this week’s posts!

See more from this engagement session by our Blue Ribbon Vendor, Hannah Mayson Park, on our Facebook page!

Happy Saturday, y’all! This has been a super exciting week–we received our V8 printed proofs and went through them with a fine-toothed comb before sending the FINAL files to our printer! It is always so thrilling and nerve-wracking to send off the pages we’ve been pouring our hearts into all year, and all our fingers are crossed that the printing goes off without a hitch. Nicole is headed to Wisconsin (!) next week to keep an eye on everything, and after that, all that’s left to do is write hundreds of thank you notes and send the magazines to you! Remember, the best way to ensure that you get a copy ASAP is to place a preorder here. We’re so excited for you to see it! Honestly, y’all, it’s my favorite issue ever :)

P.S. Kristin and I are at Bridal Market in New York City this weekend! Follow along on Instagram (@SouthernWeddings, @KN_Winchester, and @LisaJanelKirk) and on our hashtag #SWBridalMarket for lots of gorgeous gowns and behind the scenes fun!

We’re so excited to be have sent V8 off to the printers for proofs yesterday, all while preparing for Bridal Market, planning our launch party (save the date for November 12!), and lots more.
