A Wedding Soiree by Tara Guerard
We have big news at Style Me Pretty! I’ve kept it hush, hush for 9 whole months, but there is no hiding it now. I am having my first little girl…as we speak!! I am actually being induced this morning, so…in the past few weeks, I’ve recruited the help of some of my favorite Little Black Book members to keep you inspired and excited, while I take a bit of time to get to know our little bundle of beauty.
We have some of the most innovative and talented people participating in our guest blog feature and I really can’t wait to show you all of the incredible ideas and experiences that they have to share with you. So, let’s get right to it!
First up, the oh-so-talented Tara Guerard of Soiree in Charleston, and the author of the hugely successful book Southern Weddings!!
