Katharine would DEFINITELY say Washington, DC does NOT count as Southern, but I’m going to go ahead and post these delightfully frothy cherry blossom portraits in this column anyway.
Aren’t they perfectly springlike? I spotted these beauties on the United With Love blog, and you can see even more cherry blossom goodness on Gabe Aceves’ post (he’s the talented photographer behind the lens!)
P.S. DC brides — don’t worry, we totally love you, whether or not your location counts as truly Southern! :)
These are so gorgeous!!! We had our share of blossom sightings on our trip through Georgia 2 weeks ago. We were in heaven :)
Love Gabe’s work. I was raised in Va and live just south of DC and am totally considered a bit “southern”…accent and all. Virginia (along with West Virginia) are considered the top two states in the South East Region and we love SW magazine here!
HA! I was just having this conversation with my brand new husband this past weekend! We’re from northern Virginia (in a suburb of DC) and I said “I feel bad enough using the word ‘northern’ in an explanation of where I live when I’m reading/writing on the Southern Weddings blog! They probably don’t think I count!” HA! No matter how DC may land in the Northern/Southern debate, Virginia is still southern, even if I’m in the northern part, so I guess it’s okay. I’m with you, though, Emily, DC brides are still totally great! And nice mention of United With Love–as a northern VA girl I’m both on here AND that site daily!
Love the cherry blossom trees in DC! Beautiful portraits. We agree, D.C. is not the south, but these are too good to pass up.
Love, Joey and Jessica.
Thanks so much SW ladies for featuring a few of Meg + Carlos’ photos! Maybe DC doesn’t count but we all live in Virginia and hopped across the Potomac for these, so I think we’re good ;)
