Southern Sentiments

After being out of the south for over three months now, I have begun to truly miss my southern upbringing. I know that three months is a short time period, but it has begun to feel like an eternity. From queso to bow ties to salmon-colored t-shirts, there is something about Texas that I cannot duplicate out in California. Maybe it is just the rain that is coming down outside my window, but now more than ever I long to hop on a plane and fly back to my home sweet home.

"It's A Nice Day For A White Wedding"

        Being a southern girl myself, I love the summer days and the heat that brings. But there is definitely something magical that happens with the changing of the leaves and the dropping temperatures. I cannot deny that I love to snuggle up next to the fire with a mug full of hot chocolate (or mocha, for the coffee addicts). 


        Winter weather certainly adds glamour to the wedding day, with flurries skirting the grass and dancing on the chapel steps. And to contrast the crisp white, deep colors add warmth to the occasion. Not to mention, winter weddings can be easily complemented by holiday cheer, like these pine cone escort cards from Martha Stewart Weddings.

             A pure white wedding dress can be even more dramatic amongst strong, deep hues and the white snow. (Not to mention, she can take a few winter liberties!)
