I'm a Southern Weddings Blogger!

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon the Southern Weddings Magazine website. I was SO excited to find such a niche, especially one that I instantly found inspiration from and hope to be able to contribute to with my own wedding. I did a search on their site for Mississippi weddings and found none. :( And under preferred vendors from Mississippi, there were only two. :( Heartbroken. I wondered why this Southern Wedding website was leaving out a truly southern state with very blog-worthy weddings happening 52 weekends of the year.

So instead of tweeting my complaints about it, I was proactive and sent a note to Emily, their Art Director. She responded sweetly, of course, explaining that they're only able to feature weddings based on submissions they receive (she did provide links to two past featured MS weddings that had been archived). Today they posted a call for brides blogging in the South. I responded and got their official button (you can see it over to the right) and am listed on their page! Woo hoo!

So I plan on talking to my photographer and creating a plan to get the necessary shots to submit our wedding to hopefully get featured and I'd like to challenge any of my followers who are Mississippi brides or know one to submit theirs too! Let's get Mississippi featured on the Southern Weddings website! They also need vendors, so I want to encourage the vendors I know to get involved with this website to help showcase what we have going on here in Mississippi!
