Our new cover shot is from a July 2008 wedding reception at the Carolina Inn. The bride and groom, Jonay Allen and David Zies, were photographed by Lisa Brown of Bella Rose Photography.

Jonay is wearing a bridal gown from Victorian Rose Bridals in Raleigh. You can pick up a copy at your closest Triangle area Belk bridal registry or at any of the vendors listed on our website resources directory.

Tasha and Brandon are the lucky winners of our recent drawing for a Honeymoon trip for two: a 3-night stay at the Sands Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Tasha stopped by our booth at the Southern Bridal Show and Expo in Raleigh on April 19th, and registered for our drawing. Congratulations to the lucky couple!

Southern Bride & Groom Magazine hosted a customer lunch in early April at Sisters’ Garden & Catering Company in Raleigh. The “Southern Roots” theme included traditional southern fare, authentic Piedmont Blues music played by Island Sound DJs and Video along with a slideshow of some favorite photos, and table displays of past magazine covers completing the decor. Our providers for the luncheon were Barbara Clark of An Elegant Affair as consultant, Floral Dimensions for spring table arrangements, Paperwhites Press for invitations, Classic Party Rentals for linens, and Sweet Memories for mini-cupcake desserts.  Photos provided by Bella Rose Photography and SB&G.  

Forever Bridal puts together some of the biggest and most successful wedding shows in the area, and the Spring show on Sunday, April 19^th was no exception. There was an excellent turnout and many wonderful and creative vendor booths. Southern Bride & Groom was there to hand out magazines, jelly beans and advice to brides, mothers, and newly engaged couples.  We think our booth looked pretty snazzy, with the popular color combination of hot pink and green, and lovely floral arrangement by Fresh Affairs. Look for us at other spectacular wedding events and bridal happenings you see listed on our website in the Upcoming Events section. Of course it is also a great time to pick up your FREE copy of Southern Bride& Groom Magazine!
