V5 Behind the Scenes: Blue Ribbon Bounty

November 20, 2012 by Nicole in InTheOffice,Main,Wedding Films | 13 comments

It’s hard to not post these images without squealing a bit. (Don’t we always say that? V5 is just too good!) This shoot (nicknamed our “Pie Shoot”) was born from a whirlwind staff meeting that ended with a list of pies, a rough sketch of a layout and big, fat smiling faces all around. Though the images from this shoot aren’t going up until tomorrow (we like to keep y’all on your toes!), these behind-the-scenes shots from our dear friend Cyn Kain are full of the homey kitchen culture that we were after.

Our first stop of the morning was at PieBird in Raleigh to pick up two dozen delicious pies. Packing them into Emily’s car safely was a feat, but they made it to our office in Chapel Hill in one piece!

Setting the table for this shoot was like preparing for Thanksgiving, y’all! It felt like Thanksgiving, too, when we all sat down to eat. Yummm.

Are y’all seeing these angles? Joey and Jessica were shooting in Lara’s living room, letting us get a little creative with the space.

We were so lucky that Toni and Chris at Heart Stone Films could join us to capture some behind-the-scenes action and that Heidi and Melissa from the Carolina Inn were on hand to do some amazing food styling.

A food shoot ain’t complete without the SW ladies donning aprons!

Are y’all ready for more? Check out this adorable video from Heart Stone Films!

Southern Weddings V5: The Yellow Rose of Texas

November 20, 2012 by Emily in Inspirations,Main | 15 comments

After yesterday’s bright and colorful editorial, I’m so happy to bring you yet another sunny shoot. You’ll recognize it instantly, of course, since it’s the one from which we plucked our cover image! Photographer Ryan Ray and planner + stylist Stefanie Miles are the duo that pulled together this shoot — with lots of help from a few Texan pals!

I adore this shoot’s super clean palette of yellow and white. The stationery suite from The Creative Parasol kicked things off on the right note, with sunny hues and a snappy gingham pattern.

This shoot benefited from a few serendipitous finds, including the vintage yellow rose locket from Rhonda’s Treasures, below.

Alright, we’ve passed by enough floral photos to make it almost a crime to not have mentioned Bows + Arrows yet. They gathered and arranged all of the yellow blooms in this shoot, including the overflowing bouquet, the table centerpieces, and this stunning floral fence!

Hello, ladies! None models, all gorgeous. One of these gals is photographer Ryan Ray’s wife!

Last year we debuted a beau bar, and this year, we switched it up with a boutonniere bar! I love the sentiment behind making every guest feel like a VIP, and for a shoot focused on blooms, nothing could be more appropriate.

Isn’t this wood wall amazing? I also love that those rental chairs are super common and affordable – no chivaris needed!

Stefanie found the yellow plates at a local flea market, and made the patterned napkins herself! Talented lady, that one!

Alright, y’all, get ready for a squeal fest. Not only did this team put together an adult reception table, they put together a pint-size one, too! Remember what I said about those serendipitous finds? This yellow rose tablecloth (just $35!) falls under that category, too! And I LOVE that they used wooden crates for the kids’ seating!

Oh my word — there are no words!

Straight up love, wouldn’t you say? Be sure to check out the story of our beautiful bride and groom — a real couple! — in the print edition!

Southern Weddings V5: Freshly Squeezed Film + Giveaway

November 19, 2012 by Nicole in Contests,Main,Wedding Films | 68 comments

It’s a bit cloudy around these parts today, so our Freshly Squeezed feature almost looks too good to be true! Y’all know we couldn’t pass on the opportunity to capture this bright and juicy shoot with a fun behind-the-scenes film from Cabana Pictures! After all, this shoot was bursting at the seams with citrus-y details and we loved see our friends who pulled it all together working their magic.



Eek!! Doesn’t it look amazing? Our models are way too cute for words.

Once we started getting props in the office for this shoot, we knew we had to find a way to share even more of it with y’all. I mean, constant squealing over our colorful props warrants a giveaway, doesn’t it?

We can’t wait to find new homes for these Freshly Squeezed items! The Tear Drop earrings from Pink Pineapple, the Fleur Drop earrings form Bridier Baubles and the aptly named Sunny Days bracelet from Francesca’s were among our favorites from V5.

To Enter: Leave a comment below telling us what you love about this feature and which of the pieces above is your favorite.

Win: Four winners will win the jewelry piece of your choosing!

Good luck, y’all!

The images are a huge reminder of hot summers in the South. The hot pink tear drop earrings from Pink Pineapple would be the best accessory for a simple sun dress. Besides all of the great colors, who wouldn't fall in love with that showstopping striped Vera Wang Dress!

Southern Weddings V5: Freshly Squeezed

November 19, 2012 by Emily in Inspirations,Main | 24 comments

It’s gray and dreary where we are today, but nothing, I repeat nothing, can dim the lights on our next stunning V5 editorial!! For this one, photographed to perfection by KT Merry, we were inspired by the colorful world of Lilly Pulitzer and the original Palm Beach juice stand that inspired their entire brand.

Claudia from Fig. 2 Design | Studio started things off on a perfectly cheery note with her bright stationery suite. I love that she was inspired by vintage striped beach umbrellas! The beautiful calligraphy is by Meant to Be Calligraphy.

We were lucky to work with an awesome bride and groom (pros this time!) who fit our style to a tee! And let’s all take a moment to pause and admire the jaw-dropping hand-painted backdrop that Kristy Rice of Momental Designs made for us! LOVE! Finally, we can’t ignore the awesome outfits, pulled together in perfectly preppy fashion by stylist David Fittin.

Hello, lovely lady! Alex, Shannon, and Laurie Ann modeled our Lilly Pulitzer dresses to perfection!

And let’s also take a moment and give some HUGE kudos to Matthew of 50Fifty Creative Services, who created the STUNNING florals throughout this shoot! Y’all, I know I sound over the top, but aren’t they amazing?

Our beautiful table was set in the courtyard of the Brazilian Court. Its octagonal shape was perfect for this shoot, especially since it reminded me of the stationery suite! And be sure to look out below for the custom linens, designed for us by Nuage Designs. Aren’t those corners and contrast piping gorgeous?

Love all the citrus accents! The little place cards, also by Fig. 2 | Design, are too cute :)

And now, the piece de resistance: our very own “juice” stand, set on the lawn of the Boca Raton Resort & Club. And yes, we had juice, but we also squeezed in fancy popsicles from Tropipops, popsicle cocktails, mini key lime pies, mini milkshakes, cupcake pushpops by Cupcakes Couture, and tons of other sweets dreamed up by Chocolate Pi! Our AMAZING planner and stylist, Anna from Lucia Paul Design, created the stand from scratch in addition to pulling the rest of the shoot details together!

Too sweet, am I right? Have a very colorful day, y’all, and be sure to check back later today for a bright giveaway and a behind the scenes video!

Lilly Pulitzer Wedding Inspiration | Bride's Blog, April 14, 2013 10:02 am   reply [...] It is impossible to talk about a Lilly wedding without sharing pictures from the incredible styled shoot called “Freshly Squeezed” that was featured in Southern Weddings most recent issue, V5. Every detail is a riot of preppy perfection, and I love how they really played up the citrus theme, mixing plenty of yellow and orange into the pink and green. Dying to see more or find out where you might find similar details? The full wedding shoot with all of the vendor credits can be seen on Southern Weddings. [...]

Southern Weddings V5: My Kentucky Rose Film

November 17, 2012 by Emily in Main,Wedding Films | 5 comments

Happy Saturday, guys + gals! The Southern Weddings crew is happily enjoying the weekend after a whirlwind few days of magazine launch, magazine shipping (like crazy — more on that next week), and magazine launch party! We couldn’t resist popping in and following up on Thursday’s gorgeous Kentucky Rose shoot by sharing the behind the scenes film, however. McKenzie Miller did a beautiful job capturing the day and all the work that went into it, despite the less-than-ideal weather!

McKenzie is actually a Southern gal herself, so we were so happy to find her in upstate New York (she actually lives in the city, but traveled for the shoot!). Big hugs again to everyone who brought this shoot to life!

If you haven’t got your paws on a copy yet, be sure to pick one up here or check your nearest Walgreens, Barnes & Noble, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Walmart, and/or Target!

Kathleen Brown, November 18, 2012 1:38 pm   reply Just watched the lovely video of the Kentucky Rose Shoot! It was very, very pretty to watch. I was hoping I could find out who the singers are, and the name of the song! My fiance and I are a reunited couple, 35 years after our first romance. I would love to play this song, at some point in the events leading up to our wedding. I WILL make it work, just hoping you don't mind sharing this information. Thank you, and thank you for such a beautiful site. I am a first-time visitor, and I know I will spend countless hours here!! Sincerely, Kat
