Fancy a swanky southern soiree? Essence of Events, LLC can help! The South is steeped in beauty and has a certain undeniable charm that can be transported to other regions of the country when done right. Leave the hoopskirts to Scarlet O’Hara and forget the derby sized hats. Being a sweet southern bell bride is all about sophisticated femininity with a focus on tradition. Imagine thick strands of pearls over lace dresses and bridesmaids in pastels.

Southern women love their pastels! On bridesmaids it creates a soft and feminine look.

Hot weather in the South can often become a factor when choosing attire. For that reason, bridesmaids are often in short dresses because nothing ruins the mood more than sweating like a hog!

Who says women get to have all the fun? Southern gentlemen love their seersucker suits.

Ties are often swapped for bowties and some even opt for suspenders!

There’s nothing preppier than the monogram. There are many ways in which southern brides sneak in one or two! Embroidered in the veil or back of the gown are popular choices.

At the end of the aisle runner is another frequently used option.

When it comes to décor, in addition to tons of flowers, bold patterns are often worked into the design. Quatrefoil, lattice, and chevron are just a few of the most beloved preferences.

And let’s not forget tradition and heritage. Dark liquors, Coca-Cola, and sweet tea are by far the most popular drink choices. Southern originated drinks are so engrained in its culture that burying a bourbon bottle to prevent rain on the wedding day has become a well-kept tradition.
