Cheers to Southern Weddings on their fresh and oh so very inspiring new issue out on newsstands now. You’ll want to get your hands on this one. It’s their largest issue yet, at 312 pretty pages. We’re sharing a little sneak peek at one of the festive styled shoots you’ll see in the mag, which by the way, we think would make for the perfect Thanksgiving tablescape for your family + friends come next week!
For us, this issue is purely about love, and as such, we wanted every editorial to tell a story. This one is about the Kentucky Derby, but it’s not quite what you’d expect. Our version trades bugler red for blush pink and poppy, traditional roses for their garden-variety cousins, and trackside betting for a bourbon bar and apple bobbing!
