Southern Weddings

Oh y’all, it’s been a big week for us. We spent all of yesterday afternoon getting gussied up to surprise Emily with a bridal shower! Then, we hopped around town to take team photos with Nancy Ray. We can’t wait to see the final images and share them with you!

July went by us like a bullet! Want to see what happened behind the scenes at the Southern Weddings office? Check out our recap.

Did y’all know August is National Peach Month? We had to celebrate with some of our favorite peach-inspired finds!

For Emily, who’s a self-proclaimed paper-lover extraordinaire, wedding invitations were at the top of her mind when she first got engaged. See the final product and the process behind her gorgeous invites here.

We’ve had some awesome giveaways this summer. See who won prizes from our Amy Atlas giveaway, our Plum Pretty Sugar giveaway and our SC Cornhole giveaway right here! (Plus, there’s a fun surprise!)

This week started off with a bang! We were thrilled to work with the lovely Miss Georgia, Jasmyn Wilkins on our most recent photo shoot for V5 on Monday. On Tuesday, we were overjoyed when Lara surprised us with a trip to Maple View Farm for birthday ice cream! That’s right, both our intern Emily Alice and I share a birthday!

Coincidentally, Tuesday was also the day we celebrated the last of National Ice Cream month with a Summer in the South post on homemade ice cream!

We had no shortage of Real Weddings for July! See the highlights from last month’s weddings and tell us what you loved!
