The Southern Shop

You have heard me (and so many others) talk about it.  Southern Weddings, Volume III was in my mailbox this week, and I haven't stopped looking at it since.  The three ladies behind this gorgeous glossy never fail to put together the most awe-inspiring photo shoots.  I just love pulling ideas for my own Indiana brides and clients.  We may not be "southern", but Indy girls definitely have style and a love for all things pretty!


I certainly can't share every beautiful thing about this issue, but I think The Southern Shop is especially noteworthy.  On pages 16 & 17, the ladies pulled together a list of 16 designers that specialize in custom, southern-inspired wedding "sussies"!  For instance, XOElle makes these very studly-chic bow ties:

And, these seersucker (LOVE SEERSUCKER!) lounge pants by Caroline Long would make any girl smile.  (Honey, if you are reading, I will take one pair in the Hot Pink, please and thank you.)

I am already dreaming about the next issue - but still salivating over this one.  If you aren't a subscriber, or at least a follower, of Southern Weddings - add it to your "to do this week" list.  You won't regret it.  They are on Facebook and Twitter and frequently blog here-www.iloveswmag.com.

AND, they are launching a brand new website - NEXT WEEK! Mark your calendars (all three of mine are already marked) for October 20th.  I.can.not.wait.

Boldly Yours,

Lori
