Southern Weddings

Details are certainly what make a wedding special. Since I'm terrible at picking favorites, I'd have to say both meaningful music in the ceremony and a well planned meal and drink selection for the reception. Those are the things I always remember about each wedding I go to!

Does "kiss" count as a detail? My brother's officiant forgot to have him kiss his bride before the recessional… Let me tell you, it's way important.If that doesn't count, I have to go with "photographer." But then I'm a little biased…

The number one wedding detail that you absolutely cannot forget is your something blue. It's a timeless classic. You can continue a tradition from the past with this, or create something new for you and the future.

Oh My Goodness, this is the most fabulous pottery I have ever seen. The number one wedding detail that cannot be forgotten is blending personal elements of the bride and groom into every detail! 3 months after my future hubby and I started dating, he went to India for his best friend's wedding. On the way home he had a lay over in Qatar, missed his connecting flight to Jackson from Houston, and was stranded in houston, sick as a dog with a foreign illness. I drove to Houston to pick him up, because I realized that I couldn't live with out him, two weeks was too long, and he needed to be taken care of. We both think of his trip to India as the time in our lives we knew we were meant for each other.Now we are planning our fabulous Southern Wedding in Jackson, and Cynthia Vardhan is a perfect blending of the deep south and India! Thanks y'all, so happy to have found this!

I LOVE these dishes! Absolutely adorable for decorating or to hold your jewelry!I think the most important wedding detail you cannot overlook is the guest list! It is so important to go over this with your family, the groom, and the groom's family to make sure you have included all of your family, friends and loved ones on your special day!

For us, the number one wedding detail that cannot be forgotten is the photographer. After all is said and done, photographs (and memories) is what you have left to remember your special day.

I absolutely LOVE these dishes. I am always looking for something to put my rings and earrings in at night. I am also looking for bridesmaid gifts and these are perfect! My fiance' and I believe the most important detail about our wedding is our FRIENDS. We don't know what we would have done without them the past 7 years of our relationship. They help with wedding planning, coordinating other guest, dealing with any problems and most importantly standing by your side!

Well since I've been to atleast 2 weddings that have messed up on their wedding certificate I'm going to say the most important wedding detail is the certificate. Making sure you have one and fill it out correctly.

#1 detail would have to be the vows…in the end the centerpieces or seating charts mean nothing.

I think the most important detail (for me at least) were the vows. No matter whether you write your own or take part in the traditional vows, really thinking about them and making them your own is the most important detail!

Those little dishes are precious! I would like to keep them for myself but would probably give them to my bridesmaids:)The number one wedding detail to me is exchanging notes before the wedding. It is such a special time and so important to have something to remember that moment of such anticipation. Some of my favorite detail shots are of the groom's scrawling on the hotel note pad!

Family!! My future wedding plans and ideas change from month to month, but the one thing that will always be there is my amazing family. They are so much fun and I couldnt imagine my big day without each and every one of them :)

For me- I think the number one detail is after months of planning, usually stressing, exhausting work- this is your one night. ENJOY. RELAX. AND take time to take mental snapshots of this night celebrating you and your one true love. There will never be another day like it. :)

I have been to many arts festivals in North Carolina. And let me tell you there is no shortage of potters in that state. But I have never seen designs such as Cynthia Vardhan produces. Very well done.

These dishes are absolutely AMAZING!! Okay, THE number one wedding detail that CANNOT be forgotten is writing your own vows. You've pledged to give this person your love for the rest of your life. It is YOUR wedding, and YOUR special day. I just don't see how it could be entirely special and heartfelt if you just say a bunch of scripted words that are repeated over, and over, and over again. Make it personal. Say what is on your heart. Pledge your love, devotion, and commitment in your OWN language. Once the cake is gone, the flowers die, and the party is over, the only thing that you are left with are those special words on that special day. THAT is what the day is all about. The pledge from you OWN hearts.

The detail you can't forget is making everything legal!! On our wedding day, my husband and I got a mile or two away after our reception when we realized what we were forgetting — to sign the license with the officiant!! We rushed back and made everything official, but it was quite a shock when we realized we weren't legally married after all!

The most important details (sorry can't choose only one) are the location and food. I think the backdrop for the wedding says a lot about the bride and groom and their personality as a couple. And as for the food… well, it should just be finger-lickin' tasty, y'all! :)

Absolute most important wedding detail that cannot be forgotten is the GUEST LIST! My fiance and I are in the middle of setting ours finally and it really is the most important thing…having all of the people we love together but maintaining the budget!Love this giveaway, these are the cutest!

I'm dying over these dishes. They're beautiful! And I can think of a few bridesmaids who would feel the same way. ;)I think the most important detail of the wedding day is just to remember that the wedding is really about two people, their love for one another, and the community of friends and family that has nurtured their relationship and come together to celebrate the beginning of something wonderful.

Personality is the key detail! Anyone can plan a color palette, flowers, bridesmaid dresses but it is the small creative touches that make a wedding YOUR wedding day. This day is a time to celebrate your love, so make it about you as a couple and color outside the lines!

As a detail person, I have lists to cover all of the must haves and timing and so on. But the most important detail is the marriage itself. I think it is just as vital to spend time thinking about your union, what changes it will bring, and the joy it should bring to both of your lives as it is to choose the perfect coordinator, menu, and dress. At the end of the day you will have a brand new marriage that should stand the test of time. The joining together of your lives will be the finalization of the day of celebration and all the prior planning emphasizing details for the day. The end result is the biggest detail of all!

Don't forget to bring your sense of humor! Not everything will go perfectly, so it's the most important thing to have.

I think the most important detail of our wedding is how we're going to incorporate little things that make us "us". We're doing a black and white wedding but we're going to have little eccentricities to make sure it's not *too* formal. :)

The dishes are super dope! I think the absolute most important thing to remember is the continuous thank you's to your family and friends for helping make your day absolutely wonderful. Nice gifts to show them how thankful you are doesn't hurt either. It has already been one of my favorite parts of planning my wedding.

The one detail hat cannot be forgotten for our wedding day, was the late night snack. We wanted our guests to have a nice pick-me-up later in the evening, and have envisioned a fun filled diner themed late night snack, with mini burgers, french fries and vintage sodas with striped straws!

The number one wedding detail that I can absolutely not forget is really not a detail at all. I want to remember to breathe, pull my husband to the side during the reception, and just take it all in together. Watching all of our family and friends come together to celebrate our love is why we go crazy planning all the details in the first place. I know I will cherish that moment forever!

The number one detail is remembering to stop and truly appreciate your wedding day. It would be easy to get caught up in the food the dancing, the time spent with everyone and the excitement. Just remember to stop, breath, and be present in the moment.

I think the biggest detail is the bridal party. Having our best girls and guys stand beside us on our big day is something that I couldn't do without. Each member of our bridal party brings out a different side in our relationship and in ourselves. I can't imagine not having them there—after all, who else would do the bachlorette/bachelor parties, fix my dress on my big day, and make sure I don't completely loose it before I walk down the isle :)

These are very pretty and unique!! I agree w/ a few others that are saying photography is the most important detail. Without that, you wouldn't be able to remember the expressions on each others faces, the family and friends that were there to celebrate with you, and all of the beautiful details of the wedding itself. Photography is SO important!

I'd have to say the most important detail of the ceremony is the photographer. Having the moments captured so that you can share them with others, remember, and reflect is so valuable.

Photographer, Photographer, Photographer! It's worth it!

Disclaimer: Forgive me for sounding soapboxy, or overly-sentimental, gushy, or hopeless romantic-like.The one detail I hope everyone never, EVER overlooks, is the love. Don't ever forget that the love between yourself and your future husband is the whole reason for this beautiful day you're creating. If you lose the love, compromise, and hard work that has gotten you to this day, what are the flowers worth? Who cares about the food, or even the pictures? If those photos aren't capturing pure love, then we've missed the whole point of the wedding day.Phew. On another note, I'm obsessed with those pieces. As a transplanted Northerner (shhhh, I have everyone convinced I'm a Southerner!) my heart goes out to here up in chilly Ohio. These are incredible!

One?! I have to choose one detail? I love me a great pair of really colorful shoes that pop against the brides white dress, I love integrating a sense of family into all aspects of the ceremony, I love the flowers, I love when the groom has a great pair of argyle or plaid socks, etc… If I HAD to choose one, I’d say the photography is my favorite detail. (Is photography a detail? It seems so major to me) I love the way a great photo can capture a moment and bring it back to you over and over.

I would have to say the SHOES!! This is the absolutely best way to express yourself. Yes, the wedding is supposed to express you, but lots of times you have more influences that might push you a little more this way or that. But, the shoes….Oh they're totally you! I have green shoes with rhinestones. My mother absolutely HATES them…(she wanted the traditional white shoes, ugh how boring!) Shoes…the most important detail of your wedding!

I think that the number one wedding detail is thanking your parents and family! I think that sometimes thanking your parents after a wonderful evening is forgotten in the excitement of everything, but I love to see the bride and groom thank their parents or important family members right before they exit!

Oh how I love anything ceramic! I'm planning our wedding reception in Oklahoma, a southern shappy chic vintage setting. Does that make sense and it that a mouthful? I'm looking for an assortment of dessert or appetizer plates that are a mix match theme. Love, love, Cynthia's style!Being in the bridal biz I think one detail not to be left undone is a veil, accessory, and/or headpiece that makes the bridal feel sexy and beautiful….and of course compliments and completes her gown.Happy Weddings!!Leslie from Bridal Couture Girls

I just asked my fiance what the #1 detail for him will be. He said, "It has to be when they first announce us as "Mr. and Mrs. V…" Captured by our videographer, of course.

Those plates are GREAT! Love them! I think the most important detail is making the overall feeling reflect the couple. My wish for my wedding is that the guests feel it represents us! Also, wearing a family heirloom – like my grandma's bracelet.

The NUMBER one detail that can't be overlooked is the exchanging of vows, I have done it once already with my Husband at the justice of the peace since I am a military wife, now we are planning on including our families in a celebration so they can witness the vows we exchanged already, when they couldn't be there with us. I can't wait for the day that my family can witness this exchange! I know they know the love between us, but I think this just puts the icing on the cake for me!
