Neutral Shades & S'mores

Planning a neutral themed fall wedding? Here is a beautiful inspiration board! Incorporating apples (or other fruit) add some color and are cheap, easy decoration ideas. 
& I absolutely love  the barn with the curtains, I think it would be beautiful with long tables for eating and entertaining inside, and can have a dance floor outside under the stars! You could even have a bonfire and cook s'mores as a late night treat for your guests..

Backyard Garden Gathering

Tablescapes are one of the most important parts of putting the pieces together in an outdoor event. A simple tablecloth with a beautiful centerpiece containing a bright color is the perfect combination. 


The hanging bird cages add a little something special  to the atmosphere as well!
Can't you just picture sitting under a tree with your closest friends dining on delectable southern delights and sipping on wine?!

Pair this table with a bright turquoise vase filled with simple white or ivory colored flowers to make the centerpiece pop.


You could add some simple candles all around the table as well to create a sensual environment, without trying too hard.

Another important part of a get-together is the food and everyone knows that the more appealing an item looks, the more mouthwatering it will be. So why not dress up a simple sandwich for a lunchtime event, along with other finger-licking treats.


Another  crucial component in throwing a soiree is the decorations. A cute DIY idea is to make windmills and have them lead up the path to the yard where your lovely event will take place. You can also use the windmills as props for your guests to post with.




With Southern Charm & Grace..

I have created this blog to post daily inspirations for southern soirees. One of my goals in life is to own my own company and plan different events here in the south. Everything from weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, baby showers, charity events, and beyond on will be included. Within each post I will show pictures of different events that have inspired me. Each inspiration will be from the south or with a southern twist to it. I hope that this blog will be inspirational to people, and if no one reads it, thats okay, I'll have inspiration for my future!

Three of the things the south, and southern women in particular, is known for is charm, grace, and hospitality. So with this blog I will hope to inspire y'all with these three essential details.

Also, if you come across any pictures that are from your event or site, please let me know and I will give y'all credit with a link! Thanks

Hope y'all enjoy and y'all come back now!
