Most of the time, we are all about the brides, all the time.  Real weddings?  We love when they inspire our soon-to-be-married readers. 

But there’s another section of the Southern Weddings family that we are equally interested in and, to be honest, indebted to.  Without the vendors who send us the most original and stunning southern (and southern-in-spirit!) soirees, there would be no blog.  And there certainly would be no print edition.  The photographers, florists, planners, invitation designers, and others who send us their recent work are the ones who inspire us every day, allowing us to, in turn, inspire y’all.

So in honor of this spirit of giving, and to thank all of the loyal vendors and advertisers we love so much (while not forgetting our lovely readers), the SW ladies have dreamed up a little contest. 

How to enter: Leave a comment below telling us, in the most creative and heartfelt way possible, about the cause that inspires you and tugs on your heartstrings.  The entry that tugs on ours will win the grand prize.  Bonus! Earn an extra entry by tweeting about the contest!  {Include your Twitter name in the body of your comment.}

Deadline: Friday, September 18, at 6pm EST

What you’ll win: Vendors will win a free ad in the November print edition and a donation to the charity of his or her choice.  Readers will win a copy of the November print edition and a donation to the charity of his or her choice.

Can’t wait for the contest to get in on the SW ad action?  Email Katharine for this fall’s print edition media kit.
