Simply Southern

Hopefully, you attended the 2nd annual Pew Decorating Competition which was at Vulcan Park this year. Vulcan Park is an amazing setting for any event and this one, put on by P.E.W.S., was no exception! We participated in the inaugural competition last year and couldn't wait to see what was in store for 2013.

Several of Birmingham's prestigious wedding professionals showed up with their A-game to embellish a pew in one of four categories: Organics Only, Luxe, Patterns & Pantones and Simply Southern.

This year, CeCe Designs partnered with us to create a 1920s-inspired vignette in the Simply Southern category. We wanted to focus on pastel pinks and greens, pearls (a Southern staple) and silver. We accomplished our winning design with gorgeous metallic vintage suitcases, silver plated tiered trays and candelabras and dainty details like rhinestone buckles and vintage gloves and hand mirrors. We decided to go with champagne, ivory and silver for the fabric palate and we're just thrilled with how it turned out.

One of the most exciting parts of the competition is that we won! We were awarded the top spot in our category, as well as the Brides Choice award, which is just such a blessing and an honor to us. 

The online voting competition is still going on, and we'd love to be the winner of this one. Please click here and vote for our decorated pew. Christy and I appreciate your support.
