We’re all about weddings, but let’s pause just for a moment to indulge in five examples of superb Southern Christmas decorating…
Clockwise from top left:
1. A corncob wreath? Yes, please. It will last a whole heck of a lot longer than its evergreen cousin in the Southern heat.
2. Since we don’t really need the warmth of a fire down South, how about dressing up the grates with a wreath and some faux snow? It’s almost enough to warm my little New England heart.
3. New Southern is all about relaxed, natural style, and we think the loose, just-gathered-from-the-forest look of these arrangements is a perfect example of that.
4. Likewise, keep the exterior of your house classic and classy with simple evergreen swags and small wreaths on each window sash. The light glowing from within is the only other decoration, needed, no?
5. Classic, simple, natural, chic — I could go on. But you already know how we feel about this sort of thing.
And now back to weddings!
