Exciting things are happening in the Southern Weddings office. Sure, y’all know that we’re plugging away making a magazine, but every week, we’re quietly celebrating each pre-launch press milestone we hit and anxiously awaiting the day we can share V5 with you. We are in the final days of our pre-press edits and ready to send this puppy off on Friday!
You know how we roll around here, y’all. Every celebration comes with loads of sweet tea, high fives and a giveaway on the blog! We wrangled up more bow ties and neck ties than our hearts could imagine — each one a part of our photo shoot prop family — and could think of no better home for them than resting on your dapper gents’ collars.
Every week from now until the magazine hits news stands around the South and beyond, we’re giving away two ties a week to two lucky winners!
To Enter: Leave a comment below telling us which bow tie or neck tie calls to you.
Win: Your choice of tie from the Southern Weddings photo shoot prop closet!
Good luck, y’all!

Ali Cline, October 8, 2012 12:30 pm reply They are ALL calling to me in a way! So bright and fun! Guess I'd have to pick the tealish blue striped one if I had to though!

Elizabeth @ HobbyLobbyist, October 8, 2012 12:34 pm reply I am a sucker for a southern guy in a bow tie! My guy would be happy with any of these options, but I am drawn to the second one from the bottom in the left column-- the purplish/blue plaid. Thanks for sharing these with your readers!

Jenna, October 8, 2012 12:42 pm reply I think he would love them all. :) But since he is quite the bow tie man I would say second from the bottom right or any of the yellows.
amanda, October 8, 2012 12:42 pm reply Being from the south you definitely have to represent your Alma Mater and my fiance would look totally dapper in the red gingham or polka dot bow tie to represent NC State!!! (How bout that win Saturday?!) I love those two the most!! SO cute! I also think the red and white floral is so sweet!!
Ashleigh, October 8, 2012 12:50 pm reply LOVING the gingham bow tie or the blue/green checked one (5th from the top)! We just got engaged (eeek! I'm getting MARRIED!) and are trying to decide on our colors and ties vs. bow ties so this would certainly help with the decision making as well as making my groom-to-be look handsome while we decide!
Shelby, October 8, 2012 12:52 pm reply So many daper bow ties! Although, I must say my eyes are drawn to that blue gingham beauty. What a more southern way to bring out my beau's blue eyes than with gingham!? congrats on V5 ladies! can't wait to add the fifth to my collection!

Julie, October 8, 2012 3:17 pm reply Carolina Blue- can't get better than that!
Kelsey Lou, October 8, 2012 3:29 pm reply These ties are DIVINE! I married my sweet hubs Evan in June and we are set to attend a bunch more weddings for our sweet friends this Fall! I am dying over the red/orange & blue medallion beau second from the bottom right! He would look oh so dapper in it!
Sydney H, October 8, 2012 4:22 pm reply I love the tiny plaid green and white bow tie, for my boyfriend!
Kelly, October 8, 2012 4:32 pm reply My Southern gent loves all things houndstooth (to my UTK-loving chagrin, roll tide...) -- so that first one on the top left corner would make him swoon!!
Rachel, October 8, 2012 4:39 pm reply I'm an artist, and any of the peachy pinks or yellows are lovely...they're such fresh, bright hues. Any of the peaches would be really pretty paired with cobalt blue bridesmaid dresses.
Kelly, October 8, 2012 5:05 pm reply I absolutely love the pink and green striped one! My Fiance would love this!
Taylor, October 8, 2012 5:57 pm reply THIS IS SO HARD! I love all the plaids...ginghams....seersucker...ahh the bright yellows the mellow blues! But I do have to say.... the fiance would probably love the houndstooth bow-tie the best!!
Anna, October 8, 2012 6:50 pm reply LOVE, love, love those teal blue striped ties, and the yellow gingham of course! Early Christmas gift for the boy? I think so!! --can't wait for V5 :)

Carolyn, October 8, 2012 7:29 pm reply I love the light blue tie! My honey has blue eyes and I think it'd be perfect for him!!
Katie, October 8, 2012 7:33 pm reply The red plaid pattern would be perfect for my hub's black tie Christmas party...and I love the blue/green checked print right across the "aisle" from it....I could definitely plan my Easter dress around that beauty!!!
Lindy, October 8, 2012 8:38 pm reply I love them all! I think my husbands favorite would be that teal gingham tie though! So fun! he would be thrilled with such a fun and southern prize!
Elise, October 8, 2012 9:51 pm reply They're all adorable, but the blue bow ties that are sixth, seventh, and eighth from the bottom in the left column are my favorites!

Paige, October 8, 2012 11:16 pm reply I think that those yellow/gold ones are amazing! especially for my App State loving Fiancé...and the fact that our colors incorporate our love of our colleges into the design! Just got engaged and am so excited about V5!
Jenna Lea, October 8, 2012 11:16 pm reply love the navy diagonal stripe, simple and versatile
Natalie, October 8, 2012 11:20 pm reply So hard to pick, they are all so fun! My fiancé would most likely wear the blue seersucker stripe one but is that a purple one with penguins that I see?! LOVE.
sarah der, October 9, 2012 9:53 am reply omg I love them all!!!!! But maybe number 9 from the top, that lovely aqua one!
Christina Setser, October 9, 2012 10:39 am reply The green with the cotton on it. I will be using cotton in my flower arrangements. My wedding is in Charleston, South Carolina on March, 16, 2013. I went to College of Charleston and loved all the southern charm and can not wait to have my southern wedding there. Christina Setser
Emily, October 9, 2012 10:40 am reply Either the lime green with navy stripes or the orange and white seersucker - both would compliment our wedding colors perfectly!
Laura, October 9, 2012 10:40 am reply I would love to get my hubby into the blue madras tie! I'd have a harder time with a bowtie unless it was orange.
Courtney Porter {Dogwood Events}, October 9, 2012 1:01 pm reply I love all of the orange and red shades!

Emily, October 9, 2012 3:26 pm reply Oh man, all of them? But I think my man, a soon to be UNC alum, would look quite dapper in the Tarheel blue. :o)
Katie, October 9, 2012 4:51 pm reply I am OBSESSED with the bowtie 7th from the top in the first column. My bridesmaids are wearing J Crew "Dusty Shale" dresses for my April wedding and I have been having the toughest time finding the perfect bow tie that matches the girls dresses. This one looks PERFECT and adds in another pop of color which I love!! Even if I wasn't selected as a winner...could someone kindly tell me who makes this bow tie? It is amazing!!! Love Love Love!
Nicole, October 17, 2012 9:17 am reply Hey Katie! The bow tie 7th from the top on the right column is made by Mr. Mustache Bow Tie Co!

Me and my mom thought the green cotton bow ties would be great. I can not wait for my southern wedding. Thank you so much. Christina Setser
Sue Hawks, October 11, 2012 12:55 pm reply I like that snappy lime green tie with the stripe. It would look fabulous on my new son-in-law, (Kyle, a Southern Monogram Wedding Blog from May 5 2012 wedding). He is a lawyer in Elizabethtown, NC and all Southern gentlemen lawyers need to make a fashion statement!
Adam Gilbert, October 11, 2012 5:08 pm reply I'm partial to that purple plaid number :-)

Zachry, October 14, 2012 1:58 pm reply My fiance is in love with this blog, and she directed me to this contest! My favorite bowtie is 18 down from the left. I would really like it - thanks for doing this!
Tonda, October 14, 2012 7:35 pm reply I am loving all of them, so bright and fun! My favorite is the 5th one down the blue and green one!
JOANNA GOULAH, October 15, 2012 11:27 am reply I absolutley love the light green stripe bow tie (1st column 2nd row). It is very versatile with different colored suits, very simple but elegant
Jenny, October 15, 2012 10:58 pm reply So hard to choose....I think the one that best embodies our wedding theme is the bow tie 2nd from the bottom on the right, a combination of southern sophistication for Charleston where my fiance is a chef and English hunt country for Charlottesville where I am in school at UVA.
Kelly, October 23, 2012 11:09 pm reply Either the solid yellow or yellow diagonal stripe tie would be a wonderful surprise for my groom for our yellow and gray oceanfront wedding in May! Something about a pop of yellow against a gray suit will add a little spring sunshine to my groomsmen!
Jeanie, November 21, 2012 1:59 am reply They're all amazing! The green bow tie with the thin blue diagonal stripes would be perfect for our garden themed wedding next year.
Eric Harris, December 5, 2012 9:40 am reply the green and salmon bow tie is swaggarific. love it.
