Here is a board we put together for one of our favorite blogs, {Elizabeth Anne Designs}.

Here’s a little more from Danielle on each photo {clockwise from the top left} and how it fits into the design scheme…

• These cucumber martinis and basil mojitos from Brides provide not only the perfect colors, but are also refreshing and light on the palette.
• Crisp white monogram napkins are a must for this event.  Find them at Pottery Barn.
• Martha Stewart always has the best inspiration for cakes.  The lace look of this confection is perfection.
• This do-it-yourself concept from Brides provides a touch of frills.
• Ice cream is a favorite treat of this couple so we’ll serve sundaes with the cake.
• This ceremony space {found in Grace Ormonde} captures a sophisticated look with white upholstered benches and a mirrored archway.
• The pickle favors featured in Brides were an unexpected treat for guests to take home.
• Guests look to the invitation to set the tone for the evening.  These are Kate Spade for Crane & Co. and they fit the bill perfectly.
• White tulips provide the perfect combination of clean sophistication and Southern charm.
• A white 1949 Jaguar would be the perfect escape at the end of the night.
• This beautiful Amsale gown is a great example of this collection of thoughts.
• Tara Guerard designed this wedding where the groom’s grandmother provided these sweet treats for the dessert bar.

We LOVE {The Wedding Chicks} and were so happy to wake up to this super-nice post this morning....

 

Thanks so much for the love!  Brides, check out The Chicks! 

About a month ago, I emailed the lovely Abby at {Style Me Pretty} because there wasn't a section for the Florida Panhandle (where we have our main Bliss office) in the Little Black Book.  The Little Black Book is an invite-only list of the top wedding professionals.  Michelle and Abby were thrilled to be introduced to Bliss and quickly put a section together for us.  The Florida Panhandle section of the LBB is LIVE today and includes four of our favorite local vendors-- {Rae Leytham Photography}, {Meg Baisden Photography}, {A Thousand Words Photography} and the fabulous {Kebbie Hollingsworth} (who is about to launch an awesome new blog!!).  We are so honored to be a part of this exclusive book.  Brides, if you haven't discovered {Style Me Pretty}, you are in for a treat--and some major eye candy!   Thank you, Michelle and Abby!

I am so thrilled to see this wedding featured on {Elizabeth Anne Designs}!  I remember when Lauren came in to meet with Danielle and I many months ago.  Craig lives in Miami, but Lauren really wanted him to be a big part of the planning... so, she promptly pulled out a big picture frame and put Craig on my desk for the duration of the meeting!  At that moment, we knew we had a very special couple on our hands.  Kudos to Danielle, Leah, Bria, Laura and Ashley for a simple and sweet event.  A million thanks to {Rae and Wes} for the beautiful images!  Congrats Lauren and Craig!  Click on over to {Elizabeth Anne Designs}!  More to come...

{Elizabeth Anne Designs} was so kind to feature Bliss today on their amazing wedding site.  Many thanks to Elizabeth and Anne for the beautiful post.  Click the thumbnail for the full post. Enjoy! ~ Lara

First of all, I have to say how proud I am of the Bliss team. We had a whirlwind week launching Southern Wedding Style Magazine and it was a huge team success! Bliss Producers Danielle Flowers, Leah Harrison, Erica Richards, head of the event Kirstin Hawley, and our new fantastic interns Ashley and Natasha really pulled together to make the event not only another fab event for Bliss, but it was such a relaxed and fun experience. I am so grateful to work with such talented, driven, and stylish women. Cheers to the Bliss team! Special thanks to our husbands and families who were there to help too- we couldn't have done it without you! Also to Jason Sutton for all of his hard work in helping transform Myspayce and for being the dashing greeter for the night. Also, to the local photographers that we cherish on a daily basis- Rae and Wesley Leytham, Patsy Brown, Hara and Jeremy Cook, Rick Schamberger, Samantha and Ken Crooke, Meg and Charles Baisden, Mick and Rita Salter, and all of the vendors who showcased their fabulous work on Tuesday night- you all should be very proud! Congratulations!

Congrats to Natalie and Beau, the SWS Wedding of the Year Couple! Click to view... (may take a few moments to load, but it's so worth the wait!) They are also expecting a baby boy in June- how wonderful!

What a phenomenal night! Southern Wedding Style Magazine premiered last night to rave reviews and a full house. Every day this week we will be posting photos from the event and updates on the magazine launch. The Online Version of the magazine as well as our brand new website will launch by week's end. A million thanks to all of the vendors, guests, and the SWS team for such a thrilling and successful night. The cover has been kept top secret, but here it is! More to come tomorrow...
