It’s Valentine’s week, ladies! That means that for the next two days, we’ll be bringing you all sorts of sweetness and light. To kick things off, we are so happy to be introducing the 2012 collection from Chaviano Couture, a fabulous bridal gown designer based in the South! You know we love supporting our fellow Southern ladies.

Says Annette, the designer: “The new Chaviano Couture collection for 2012 is titled ‘How Fair is Your Love.’ The inspiration came from all things feminine and romantic. Lace, tulle, chiffon, and organza bring an air of whimsy and romance, while details like pockets and separates add practicality and comfort.” Practical and beautiful — sounds like a Southern lady to me!

Southern Style: Sunny Bridesmaid Inspiration

by Marissa in Fashion and Style on January 24, 2012

Last night my husband and I went to dinner at a friend’s home, and the hostess made key lime pie bites (and chocolate chip cookies with the Neiman Marcus recipe)! Talk about yummy! Emily’s lemon squeeze inspiration board reminds me of those key lime pie bites – yummy (looking) and completely refreshing. Yellow bridesmaids’ dresses can do that exact same thing for your wedding. The bright and vibrant pop of color can be a fun twist to your wedding day palette!

Southern Spotting: Monogrammed Sash

by Emily in Fashion and Style, Inspirations on January 18, 2012

Hello, belles! Today’s Southern Spotting is right up all y’all’s monogram-loving alley. Isn’t this monogrammed flower girl sash darling? We’re not having any little ones in our wedding party, but if we were, I would find it difficult to resist such an adorable idea!

A few words from Paige, the bride:

“As a bride (and now newlywed) and, more importantly, a Southern bride, incorporating monograms in unique ways is paramount. So when my mom suggested this idea, I immediately and excitedly agreed. Of course as a Southern bride, etiquette is of utmost importance; therefore, great debate over exactly which initials to use ensued. Should it be the bride’s because the flower girl is part of her wedding party, or the bride and groom’s, as it’s the celebration of their union? Ultimately, we chose the “P” and “B” to signify Paige and Brent. Fortunately, my dear groom’s first name and my maiden name both start with “B”, providing some grace in the midst of dissenting opinions. In looking back on our wedding, it truly is the details and stories like these that made the day.

The monogramming on the silk dupioni dress/sash was done at Monograms Plus in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. The dress is Lula Kate from Bella Bridesmaids in Homewood, Alabama.”

Big thanks to Daniel Taylor Photography for sending this fun find our way!

Tell me: Will you (or did you) have flower girls in your wedding?

I’m linking you to my best friend’s website, because this was her wedding…the flower girl wore the dress that the bride wore in her brother’s wedding at the same age, and the Matron of Honor monogrammed the ribbon on the kissing ball :) B for the groom’s name, K for the bride.
