Southern Weddings

The only wedding book that I actually have bought for myself is Southern Weddings. Faye and I have brought this book to all of our meetings with every vendor; it has so many simple but elegant ideas that you can do on your own without a wedding planner. Apparently two of my favorite bloggers (Abby & Chelsea) also agree; whether you are planning an event or just like pretty pictures, we definitely recommend it!

The book profiles 10 different couples and their weddings, all planned by Tara Guerard with her Charleston, South Carolina-based event planning and design crew at Soiree Charleston. Here are a few pictures from 3 of the weddings featured in the book (click here for pictures of another wedding from the book):

And finally, here is one more Soiree wedding that is not in the book, but is on Tara's website:
