If you fell in love with the look of Natalia + Levi’s wedding, I’m sure it was the delicate and romantic elements paired with rustic and Southern details that grabbed your attention. The couple was inspired by the idea of a Parisian flea market meeting a Southern cotton plantation and the end result was a beautiful Georgia wedding with tons of inspiration to draw. Check out their wedding here and here and read on to see how you can achieve the same look!

A. We loved how Natalia’s bridesmaids were able to incorporate some glitz and glam into their dresses. We love this Modcloth frock for the same reasons — a neutral color becomes a hit with some metallic thread.

B. Natalia’s updo was topped off with a clay anemone hair pin. We love its slight pink tone and delicate look.

C. Set the romantic tone with pretty pink invitations. We love how the Lettered Olive makes some of the collections ready to order.

D. Signature cocktails just look sweeter in mason jars, don’t they? You can find handled versions on sites like Amazon.com

E. Put a little pep in your step! We love these blush shoes with its chiffon petals.

F. For another romantic touch, try having a calligrapher write your table numbers on vintage china. We found this plate on Etsy, but you can also search local flea markets and antique stores.

G. Grab a cotton boll and tie it up sweetly nestled in with these blue napkins. The table is set and Southern!

H. The gorgeous moss monogram hanging from the fence at N + L’s ceremony was one of my favorite details. You can have your florist make one for you, buy one (we like these from Pottery Barn), or make your own with this DIY!

I. The pitcher at Natalia + Levi’s altar pulled our heart strings! We love this one from Anthropologie. Put it on display, stick sparklers in it, or fill it with flowers. Any way you do it, we’ll probably still love it.

J. The table runners Natalia + Levi used at their reception exuded Southern charm. They screen printed some of them. Others were made from lace doilies. Check out this DIY to easily make your own.

K. Make your altar feel like a cozy home to say your vows in! Some rugs can get expensive, so we suggest scouring flea markets and online sites for a good deal — especially if you’re using it outside. We found this rug on Overstock.com

L. The shabby chic frames used in Natalia + Levi’s wedding were used as chalkboards. We love how a pretty item can become practical! You can buy a frame and paint over the glass with chalkboard paint, or you can buy them already made.

What do you think of our picks? Would you try this look?

We hope you enjoyed part I of our Southern winter wedding inspiration! Wasn’t Emily’s inspiration board gorgeous? As Emily said, when Madi emailed us, we jumped at the chance to share some Southern winter wedding inspiration. Unsurprisingly, I am especially fond of the fabulous style associated with winter weddings.

(Faux) fur shrugs, stoles, and jackets, long sleeve gowns, boleros, shimmering shawls, and these to-die-for leather gloves top my list of must-have Southern winter wedding style staples. I also love the look of dainty net gloves, though they’re more practical than pretty (though very Southern!). Which leads me to my next point: as gorgeous as these options are, my advice is to think practical. Choose fully-lined pieces that you can layer over your gown for extra warmth. Think used: you can score the best pieces at vintage stores, because they’re made from heaver, higher-quality fabrics and fur. After all, what girl doesn’t want to be warm and look completely stunning at the same time? I know I do!

One other great way to achieve a winter wonderland look is through makeup. As you know, our skin lightens in the winter, since we spend less time sunbathing and more time inside. If you’re doing a trial, try to schedule it when your skin is a similar shade to what it will be in the winter (i.e. not in July!), and make sure your makeup artist knows when you’re getting married and plans for a lighter foundation shade. No one wants to have an icky line where her foundation doesn’t match her skin!

Doesn’t this snowy eye candy make you want to curl up with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa? And just think: if it snows on your wedding day, all that fluffy snow calls from some extra close snuggling with your beau! You know, in order to stay warm!

Stay tuned, as Nicole will be stepping in soon with some Southern winter wedding Fab Finds that you don’t want to miss!

    What a fantastic magazine! I have been on the lookout for this issue and actually let out a little gasp when I saw it! I am getting married at Dunaway Gardens next May, so to see the beautiful photos taken there made me fall in love with the place all over again. Thank you, ladies, for creating such an inspiring magazine!
