Y’all, this was one of the toughest decisions I have ever, ever had to make. How in the world can I choose just one feature from Southern Weddings V3 as my favorite? I absolutely, positively adore so many parts of V3. What’s a girl to do?

Well, I’ve flipped through V3 a total of 23 times to finally make up my mind, but I am positive about my decision. My favorite feature from V3 just had to be the Up, Up and Away Southern honeymoon feature shot by fabulous photographers Jose Villa and Jen Curtis.

Could there be anything more romantic than sailing away with your fine gent in a multicolored hot air balloon to your honeymoon destination? I’d be hard-pressed to find a better form of transportation.

Then there’s that gorgeous couple. Between her Anthropologie dress (that matches the hot air balloon perfectly) and his Southern ensemble courtesy of local Chapel Hill favorite, Julians, this couple is sheer Southern honeymooning perfection.

I think my very favorite part of the feature are the eight fabulous honeymoon destinations. Some of the best and brightest writers in the wedding industry agreed to write about their favorite Southern honeymoon spots and I’m just dying to hop in the car and visit every single place. Are you in? Let’s go!

This trip down V3 memory lane has made me even more excited for all of the fabulous features in V4! It’s coming soon, y’all, and we just can’t wait till you see it!

Well, pick my peas! Ladies, gents and future advertisers, we have some wonderful news to share with you!

During this week’s fabulous staff meeting and after going through some amazing submissions this week, we came to the conclusion that we need more pages!!!

In adding the signatures we needed, we have a few pages left over for more ad goodness from fabulous vendors! 10 to be exact.

We are extending our ad deadline so you can get in on the awesome ad action! We expect these ad spots to fly fast, so email me ASAP to be one of the lucky 10. V4 is sure to be the biggest and best issue of Southern Weddings to date! YEEEHAW!!!

P.S. That gorgeous image above was taken by photographer Josh Malahy, one of our fabulous print advertisers. Isn’t that bride just stunning?

There is just something about this photo that makes me so very happy. Maybe its because of the adorable flower girls, or maybe its because the bride is drop dead gorgeous. Maybe it is because Paul Johnson is a fabulous photographer who caught the joy of the day perfectly in this photo. I think thats it!
