Looking for some fun Southern traditions to incorporate into your wedding day? Check out this list of ideas that we see at weddings frequently!
Groom's Cakes: A lot of our clients from other parts of the country haven't even heard of groom's cakes, let alone thought of having one. The groom's cake is supposed to represent the groom's talents or hobbies. Or your favorite sports team, which is very popular!
Pearls: They aren't just jewelry! Although it's popular for brides (and all the women at the wedding!) to wear pearls, they have also made their way into the invitations, the centerpieces, and even the cake!
Food: Let's face it y'all. The South is pretty well known for it's scrumptious cuisine. When you attend a Southern wedding, you'll be fed, and fed well.
Burying the Bourbon: This one isn't seen quite as often, because many ceremony venues have an issue with you digging up their lawn. But the concept is to bury a full bottle of bourbon upside down at the ceremony site to ward off rain. After the ceremony, dig it up and enjoy it with your guests!
Monograms: Yes, Southerners love to monogram anything that will stand still. Just remember, a monogram incorporating both the bride and groom's initials plus their new last name initial shouldn't be used until after the I Do's - it's bad luck!
