I would like to start off this Round-Up with a photo by Millie Holloman that describes how I feel about weekends.

I hope your next couple days will be as fun as these guys’ socks! But before you scurry off into your weekend festivities, let’s take a look at what happened on the blog this week, shall we?

Remember our blurb on Minted from last week’s Round-Up? Emily has featured them again as this week’s Paper Pick! Emily loves how chic and affordable they are. They’re great for bridal showers, save the dates, and wedding invitations. How perfect that they just launched over 100 new designs!

Of course, we featured two real weddings this week that had the perfect bits of Southern charm.

Lindsey + Tyson’s peachy Virginia wedding here and here
Allison + Manny’s handmade wedding here and here.

Who doesn’t love a good contest?

Mandy and Me Studio is having one! Enter and you could win one of three prizes ranging from a discount on a wedding collection to a wedding photography package that includes a love care package from yours truly, Southern Weddings! Find more details on the Mandy and Me site.

One last photo by Sarah Rhoads to send you off into free-time bliss:

Have any fun plans with your sweetie this weekend? Tell us about them! Happy Friday!
