Southern Glam

Hello loves! Thank you for stopping by my GORGEOUS new blog and website designed by the fabulous GoldenFox Design. Come sit a spell with me because we’ve got some catching up to do!

Remember that one time I changed the Facebook page name from Southern Glam Weddings & Events to Southern Glam Meagan …and Facebook told all of you way too soon? As I promised, Southern Glam Weddings & Events isn’t going anywhere but rather it expanded underneath the brand, Southern Glam Meagan.

Confused? Don’t worry because once you understand the concept – that confusion will fade away! So… let me break it down for you.

I started blogging when I became engaged to my prince charming in 2010. My web designer is still working on transferring those blog posts here, so in the meantime, visit Southern & Glamorous.  I took a small blogging break to enjoy newlywed life but I’m ecstatic about writing again.

It’s no secret I’m obsessed with weddings, but I also kind of like baking, blogging, crafting, etc. I bake for events. I design for weddings. I travel to honeymoon destinations (shout out to Sandals Resorts!) It just makes sense to expand underneath a bigger picture.

Southern Glam Weddings & Events is my main focus and my original company which still includes everything weddings and soirees. YAY! I contract a limited amount of weddings each year to devote my time and heart 100% for each wedding.

To celebrate the relaunch of Southern Glam Weddings & Events, I’m taking 25% off Month of Coordination packages (Martinis & Masons) for newly booked weddings by August 1, 2015! Interested in a Southern Glam Wedding, let’s chat!

**********

When I’m not planning happily ever afters, I’m probably in the kitchen whipping up cupcakes for an event, scouring blogs for design ideas and inspiration, or traveling to a new destination (probably one of the gorgeous Sandals properties which allows me to research honeymoon locations!) See how everything ties together?

Over the last year I did countless research and spent much time soul searching over what it was I exactly supposed to do. With the support (and patience) of my amazing husband and wonderful family and friends, I set out on a mission to rebrand and redesign my business. I’m SO excited to finally unveil where my heart has been the whole time.

 

Thanks for being a Southern Glam (So Glam) follower!

XOXO,

Meagan

Let’s Talk Weddings in the Mile High City

 Once upon a time I was given the awesome opportunity to attend the Association of Bridal Consultants annual conference held this year in Denver, Colorado. And, IT WAS AWESOME! I was consistently blown away by the wealth of knowledge and professionalism to surround myself.
When I arrived, the snow started to fall. It couldn’t have been a more perfect welcoming!

 

I set up the Wedding Protector Plan’s booth shortly after getting settled. Our giveaways were bling pens and we also had a drawing for a Coach purse.  (I think it goes without saying that our booth was a hit!)
 On the first night of the conference, ABC kicked things off with a Tailgate Party. We were told to wear a jersey from our favorite team. There is no doubt about which team I flaunted! I even found a few new friends! On the left is Kamarah Angus of Kalydaskope!
 And then I bumped into celebrity wedding planner, Donnie Brown!
Take a peek at some of the table decor from breakfast and lunch!
 
The breakout information sessions were fabulous! I learned SO much and walked away incredibly inspired. My favorite session was from Rebecca Grinnals, the co-founder of Disney Fairytale Weddings. She was all about wedding trends!Everyone was so kind and passionate about their work in the industry. I definitely felt like I was exactly where I should have been.

Before heading back to Tampa, I just had to have my book signed by Donnie! And take a real picture too!
 
I gave him a bling pen – check out what he signed in my book…
Ha! What a character he was!
Now I’m back home full of ideas! I am beyond grateful for this opportunity and I’m already gearing up for next year’s conference in West Palm Beach, Florida!

It’s Better In the Bahamas!

As if we hadn’t traveled enough, we hopped on a cruise ship a few days after returning from Atlanta. We were sailing to the Bahamas to officially celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Neither of us had been and it was just what we needed!
First stop, Senor Frogs because we both know that place is always a good time! … Then, shopping!
The rest of the day we hung out at a little hotel called Atlantis.
That night, I was fully prepared to watch the wildcard playoff game. For some reason, the game wasn’t shown on the boat and thank goodness it wasn’t! It was a nasty game with a nasty call causing us to lose! Boo!
 The next day was spent on Carnival’s private island, Half Moon Cay. It was gorgeous; I’ve never seen water so clear and blue.
And what cruise would be complete without towel creations?
The Bahamas was a perfect way to celebrate an incredible year! I’m so lucky to be in love with my best friend!
