Giving Back with Southern Weddings: Update!

December 12, 2011 by Emily in Main,News | 1 comment

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for an update on our Heifer fund! To recap, we’re trying to raise $1,500 between now and Christmas to purchase a “Joy to the World” package: two sheep, four goats, a heifer, and two llamas.

To date, we’ve raised $155! That’s double what we had last week at this time, but we still have a LONG way to go to reach $1,500. Every little bit counts, so if you can donate even $5, we would so appreciate it. We KNOW we can do it, but only if everyone contributes just a little bit!


Heifer International Donation


Vendors, remember: For any ad (print or online) that is purchased before Christmas, 5% will go straight to our Heifer fund! If you’ve been on the fence, now is a great time to start your business off right in the new year, and give back at the same time! Shoot Whitney an email for all the details. It is most definitely NOT to early to reserve your spot in our next print edition!

Let’s do this thing!!

Introducing our Blue Ribbon Vendors!

December 12, 2011 by Emily in Main,News | 6 comments

It is with GREAT excitement that we bring today’s announcement to y’all. After months and months of prep behind the scenes, we are so, SO pleased to reveal the project that has consumed us for the past year: the Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!

Honestly, y’all? We could NOT be more excited about how this has all come together. We’re launching with 65+ fabulous Southern vendors, including KT Merry, Amber Karson Events, and Robyn Van Dyke (that’s their work featured above!). They’re all incredibly talented, but even more than that, they’re all warm, upstanding people, as we’ve learned through their interviews and in talking with their references (we check at least two for every vendor!). We can’t wait for you to meet them, and find someone perfect for your wedding!

So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!! You can search by category or by state, and be sure to scroll through to the end of each portfolio to read each vendor’s fun interview! If you see the “Editors’ Pick” designation, that means that the vendor has had a real wedding or a shoot featured in a Southern Weddings print edition, and so they get an extra-special stamp of approval!

Vendors, interested in applying? Though there is only a nominal fee to join, we take our application process very seriously. Email Whitney today to get started!

Brides, have an amazing vendor you’d love to recommend from your own wedding? We would LOVE to hear about them! You can email Whitney with that info, too.

We’ll be adding new talents all the time, so be sure to check back often! And if you have any other feedback in the meantime, we would love to hear from you in the comments or in an email. Enjoy!!

amanda, December 12, 2011 12:37 pm   reply i love this :) but something i've been dying to know is, are there any good makeup and hair artists in north carolina, especially around the rdu area?! i need help with that and i find it's really hard to find any information regarding artists in the area! otherwise, great job ladies! love all the resources!!

avatar
avatar

Desiree, December 12, 2011 3:15 pm   reply amanda: go to your local mall and check out your favorite make-up counters. Places like Sephora, MAC, Trish McEvoy, NARS, etc. all have really talented ladies working & they usually provide makeup services outside of their store. Sometimes you have to schedule through thier line and often times they have small businesses of their own. Check them out!!!

avatar

Emily, December 12, 2011 5:52 pm   reply Hi Amanda! We are definitely still working to round out our hair + makeup recs! Good pros are so hard to find in these areas, and having someone you're confident in is so important. I do have one recommendation for you -- we LOVE Jennifer Ericksen (http://jenniferericksen.com/). She's based in Greensboro but would definitely travel to the Triangle, and we've worked on mag shoots with her. She does both hair and makeup. My other suggestion would be to browse through the NC real weddings in our gallery, and if you like the look of the hair and makeup from a wedding, check out who the vendor was! That's a great way to find good pros locally. Good luck, and we will keep adding amazing beauty pros when we find them!!

Southern Weddings Weekly Round-Up

December 9, 2011 by Nicole in Main | 0 comments

Yahoo! So many wonderful things are taking over the blog! Just look at our fun header Sierra made for us! If I could choose one word to describe it all: awesomesauce. You can thank Lara for making that word a regular part of my vocabulary! Want more details? Just read on!

Last week, we introduced the Honey List to the blog. This week, we’re making it even better with a fab giveaway from Heys USA. One lucky couple will win an carry-on luggage piece for their honeymoon!

Sierra, Whitney and I reviewed October and November’s Real Weddings to pull some of our favorite highlights. Take a look at what we loved in our Monthly Round-Up and tell us what your favorites were!

We’re always going to be fans of the ever-useful mason jar. We were so happy Jose Villa and Lisa Vorce teamed up to create this gorgeous V4 spread that shows us fun and creative ways to repurpose the mason jar.

The 12 Days of Southern Weddings Christmas continues! Y’all don’t want to miss out on these great giveaways. Check them out, you have until December 25 to enter!

Day 1: Monogrammed hankie and gardenia hair flower
Day 2: Kendra Scott earrings
Day 3: Handmade by Sara Kim gift card
Day 5: Paperfinger custom address stamp
Day 6: Custom silhouette cake topper
Day 7: Monogram Journey Locket
Day 8: Durango Boots

This week’s featured Real Wedding Gallery is Megan + Steven. Their pink and blue wedding was made complete with a biscuit bar!

A lovely real wedding

It doesn’t get more Southern than this, y’all! Perkins + Wickliffe’s wedding was full of so many fun traditions and details and had 32 people in their bridal party! See it here and here.

Announcements

Don’t forget! We’re giving back this holiday season. Help us give to families in need by donating to our Heifer fund, where we’ll provide a “Joy to the World” package: two sheep, four goats, a heifer, and two llamas.

Still looking for that perfect stocking stuffer? Look no further! Don’t forget to order V4 for your friends and family — it’s full of gorgeous images and fun ideas.

Stacy Richardson Photography is hosting a fab giveaway! She’s giving away free wedding day coverage to a lucky couple near Birmingham, Alabama. Check out her blog for more details and do it soon before the contest closes on December 15!

Have a terrific weekend my friends!

SW V4 :: The Perfect Stocking Stuffer

December 9, 2011 by Nicole in Main | 1 comment

The big day is right around the corner! Christmas, I mean. The Southern Weddings ladies have taken to playing Christmas music nonstop, baking cookies, sipping on hot cocoa and decorating our trees. Just today we sent off our ornaments for the third annual ornament swap!

If your tree is decked and presents all wrapped but your stockings are looking a little light, we have the perfect solution for you!

SW V4 makes a wonderful stocking stuffer for friends, family, sisters, moms, aunts, nieces and more! Think of all the gorgeous images and ideas it’s chock full of!

Be sure to order your V4 before Thursday, December 15 so we can get it into the mail and in your stockings!
