Southern Weddings

A LOT has been going on this week, and the best thing about it is how many opportunities there are for you to join in the fun! This week alone, we launched our annual reader survey (be sure to take it to receive an exclusive shop discount, plus a chance to win a date night on us!), posted two model calls for upcoming Southern Weddings V9 editorial shoots, AND opened our summer internship application. Few things fill our hearts more than hearing from y’all and connecting with you face to face, so whatever might be right for you, we hope you’ll jump in! :)

From Maegan and Jared’s wedding, by Heather Hawkins

In case you missed it this week…

Emily and Michael: Lawn games, signature cocktails, and a flower crown in Virginia.
Leila and Sterling: Wildflower bouquets, a lace gown, and mountain views in North Carolina.
Maegan and Jared: Stunning flowers, mismatched bridesmaids, and a dessert display in Texas.

This Kansas City wedding film is sweet as can be…especially thanks to the cute pie buffet!

Our week started out a little rough due to some technical difficulties (thanks so much for patience while the blog was down!!), but thankfully, everything got back up and running just in time for us to launch our spring theme! Delightful Spring is a little different than our past seasonal themes, which were more about going on dates and adventures. While that’s SO important, we decided to change things up a little for this season–especially since so many of y’all are only a few weeks or months from your spring 2016 wedding days! Head over here to read all about the heart behind Delightful Spring–and we can’t wait to see your #DelightfulSpring posts on Instagram!

From Emily + Matt‘s wedding, by Clark Brewer

In case you missed it this week…

Emily and Matt: Dahlia bouquets, dinner for two, and a naked cake in Alabama.
Lisa (that’s me! :)) and Dave: Spring flowers, classic calligraphy, and a church ceremony in North Carolina. You can also see our wedding film here!

Hilari and Grant shared their five favorite date ideas on Southern Newlywed.

Take note!

Our dear friend Moya of MM Ink Studio (the talent behind the calligraphy on our marriage certificate!) wrote a great blog post about wedding calligraphy timelines. It’s a must-read if you’re considering custom lettering for your big day!

Have a lovely weekend, and congratulations to anyone getting married!!

Raise your hand if you’re giddy with excitement that spring is right around the corner!! We know this means that so many of y’all are in your final stages of wedding planning, and if that’s you, I can assure you that you’re at the forefront of our minds right now. This time can be stressful, no matter how relaxed of a bride you are, and our goal for the next few months is to encourage you and equip you with all of the last-minute things you may need to tie up any loose ends and enjoy this time before the big day. We’ll be going into this lots more on Tuesday with the launch of our spring theme, so be sure to check back then!
