Southern weddings are typically filled with tradition, romance and a bit of whimsy. A southern bride loves to incorporate into the wedding style 1) her and her fiance's personality and sense of style, 2) meaningful tidbits of her and her fiance's relationship, and 3) traditions used by her mother and grandmothers at their weddings. Southern brides are southern belles. They grew up in a place where manners are always minded, magnolias and hydrangeas are found in every front yard, live oaks are dripping in Spanish moss and the air smells like honeysuckle and jasmine. Family, traditions, etiquette and the South are all important to southern belles, and many southern brides try to incorporate all of these things into their special day. Some southern brides are very traditional, some are a bit more modern; regardless, southern brides never fail to dazzle and delight on their big day. From ruffles to romance and everything in between, here are some of the elements that make for a fabulous southern soiree.
