Happy Monday lovelies! So much fun stuff this week – just wait! :) First, the latest print issue of Southern Weddings hits newstands tomorrow! If you pick up an issue, you’ll get to read my take on my dream Southern wedding in the “If I Had a Southern Wedding” story! Thanks Emily for inviting me to be a part of your magazine again – it was so fun dreaming about my wedding again!
One of my favorite features in the last issue was “Southern by Design” where they asked bloggers to create their take on a Southern Wedding (you can see my Cali meets Southern wedding here). Today I get to share a sneak peek from some of my favorite ladies, Summer of Grey Likes Weddings + Cortnie of Canvas and Canopy, and their take on”Southern by Design.” With photography by Braedon Flynn, a gorgeous gown by Marchesa from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon, hairpiece from Lo Boheme, paper design by Maemae Paperie and cake by Erica O’Brien, I think you’ll agree that this feature is so stylish!
Gorgeous, right?! Lots more from their shoot in the new issue along with their thoughts behind the design!
And … if you’d like a chance to win a copy of the magazine, I’m giving away one issue to a lucky reader. Just leave a comment about why you are excited for the issue and I’ll pick a random winner on Thurs Oct 27th at 3pm PST.
If you don’t happen to win and can’t find a copy on newsstands, you can purchase an issue at here. Congrats to the ladies of Southern Weddings – gorgeous issue once again!
**The contest is now over and the lucky winner is Candice! Thanks all for entering!!**

The last issue was the only magazine to get me excited about planning. Miracle! I can’t wait for this issue!
Because there’s just about nothing more romantic than a true southern wedding done the right way. The flowers, family, great music, and southern charm make them like NO other!

Thanks for the giveaway. I’m always looking for inspiration for new art and jewelry projects, and wedding always seem to bring out the best in people’s creativity!
Not being from the South where my fiance is from would give me inspiration for adding Southern charm to the wedding. Im from Arizona and he is from Mississippi. Pick ME!!!
Inspiration from the south is what we all should incorporate into our special wedding day that provides an entrance to our married lives. I would appreciate this magazine to help create a wonderful beginning to my married life. Thanks for the offer!
I’m thrilled to read this issue. I’m always looking for the best and most unique details to make a Southern wedding truly spectacular. Can’t wait!
Green Wedding Shoes and Southern Weddings are must reads for me – on a daily basis! My wedding day is approaching, and what a better to get the “southern” inspiration we’re missing on our special day in the bluegrass!
I love Southern Weddings, I have the other three magazines. There is so much inspiration in those pages! Would love one to help give me more ideas for my wedding in August.
I’m planning a Southern Wedding at a Southern Plantation for next September. I’d love to see these great ideas!!
I love this magazine! It’s hard to find in my area of North Carolina though. I have to drive 30 miles to get it!
