When I think of Southern charm, I think of beautiful hats, pretty parasols, blooms so gorgeous they make you sway, and irresistibly delicious treats to enjoy outside with friends. Sweet tea, peach cake, and thoughtful details like monogrammed handkerchiefs for your maids! Oh, and don’t forget the shrimp cocktail! Even if I might be stereotyping, you can’t deny that these elements make for some wonderful outdoor wedding inspiration. So go ahead and find your inner Southern belle, even if you live in the northern latitudes!
