It seems like pairing a classic LBD with the brilliant shade of purple is really popular…it’s easy to see why! This next entry brings a splash of lime green into the mix…

The first two posts were from the oh-so-talented Lara of Bliss Events Group. Well, lucky for us, Lara also owns a company called Southern Weddings…a magazine and an online site devoted to Southern style wedding inspirations. If you’ve never picked up a copy…it’s a MUST HAVE!

The Best of Southern Weddings
Southern weddings hold a certain magic. The moss on the oak trees and the smell of magnolia blooms conjure up memories of spending time with close family and age-old traditions passed down from generation to generation. The Southern Weddings print edition and daily blog were created for the savvy modern Southern bride who wants to take these traditions and make them her own. We are huge fans of Style Me Pretty and are thrilled to be guest blogging today. Thank you so much, Abby, for asking us to share a little Southern charm with your readers.

A few more tid-bits from the oh-so-chic Tara Guerard…
All photography done by Adrienne Page Photography
Top Left: The lounge tent was lined in copper and blue and had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. We had wicker chaises and sofas with matching pillows and throws! Picture perfect! Top Right: Jim Smeal makes the most amazing and delicious cakes! They were designed after the bride’s lace on her dress! Center: We had three cakes, all had different layers and favors! Since we can get a bit obsessive, one favorite had to be blueberry to match our color scheme! Bottom Left: For the send off we placed rose petals in a simple mesh bag with a tag that read “tied the nott!” We had to incorporate the bride’s last name of “nott”, all the way through… starting with the guests bags and ending with their send off. Thank you so much to Tara and her team at Soiree in Charleston. Your work is that which will forever inspire us!!A Wedding Soiree by Tara Guerard, II
A bit more from Tara Guerard of Soiree’s amazing real wedding…
From Tara…
Top Left: The bride and groom took home the top of the chuppah as a memory from their ceremony.
Center: I love to use a word or phrase and incorporate it throughout the wedding. It just adds a bit of personality! It can be their name or something special to the bride and groom, whatever you want! In this case, the bride’s last name was Nott. The guests bags were simple tots with a tag that read “were tying the nott.” It was filled with a local magazine, two bottled waters and custom designed cookies! A great way to welcome your guests!

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!
Wedding Photography by Liz Banfield
Before we jump into today’s post, I wanted to quickly remind everyone to send me (abby@stylemepretty.com) their info (name/age/city you live in/wedding location/wedding date) for our upcoming Little Black Book of vendors. Reader information is so important in allowing me to build this site into a really useful resource for all of you. Your information will be kept completely confidential - I promise!! Okay, moving on…
I really think that when you are at a loss for inspiration…find the best photographer you can and pour over their portfolio. That is exactly what I spent the evening doing with Liz Banfield, the brilliant photographer that shot the photos for Southern Weddings. Her work is stunning and incredibly inspiring…
