Yeehaw for the weekend, y’all! I desperately need to restock my fridge and pantry, so I’ll be making a run to the grocery store. I’ll also need to think more seriously about what I’m going to put on the bulletin board above my desk because it’s looking mighty empty right about now. What are you fine readers doing this weekend?

In a few weekends to come, we’re hosting another Southern Weddings Yard Sale! This is going to be so much fun for everyone because it’s on St. Patrick’s Day! Are you a bride or vendor who wants to sell some of your gently used wedding items, too? Email me!

Did y’all eat your black-eyed peas on New Year’s? According to tradition, eating a spoonful of the beans gives you good luck and prosperity for the New Year, so we love seeing couples incorporate this Southern delicacy into their weddings!

We love seeing new paper collections and great collaborations come together. When MM Ink and Betsywhite Stationery got together, we were giddy! This great partnership saves you time and money. In celebration of their collaboration and our love for paper and calligraphy, we’re giving away a set of custom calligraphy thank you cards and gift tags! Enter here.

Emily was smitten when she spotted the lovely stationery suite made by Mr. Boddington for a couple marrying on Blackberry Farm. That’s a heckuva lot of Southern charm, y’all!

We’re hiring y’all! We’re looking for a Corporate Advertising Account Manager. If this sounds like your cup of tea, we’d love to see you apply! Catch the details here — but hurry! We’re only accepting applications through March 1.

We love sparkly things around these parts, so Marissa’s post on the Southern Wedding Tradition of estate diamonds had us dreaming. Do any of y’all have estate jewelry?

We’d love to introduce you to some of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory members! Say howdy to Ali Harper, Anna Kirby, Cedarwood, Jessica Lorren, Millie Holloman Photography, and Renee Sprink!

Whitney might not be engaged, but we couldn’t help but take turns dreaming up some bridal shower inspiration for everyone! I envisioned a springtime garden party full of cake decorating and monograms for our dearest ad director.

This week’s featured Real Weddings Gallery was Bethany + Caleb! Their park nuptials were complete with the sweetest proposal story ever.
