    Since hosting is important in the south, how about elegant lemonade servers filled with flowers or decorations instead of liquid?



    Or heck, just put flowers and such around each, and let guests get lemonade or limeade from the centerpeices.  That would be fun!

     Don't forget your signature mojito drinks!

  • I'm not from the South, so I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean when you say "Southern Elegance". What would set something apart as "Southern"?

    When I think of elegant decor, things like; candelabrum, delicate flower arrangements, crisp linens, silver, china, crystal, etc. come to mind. Probably the only way to indicate a "Southern feel" (other than the food you serve) would be with the type of flowers (such that are native to the Southern regions) and maybe the design and pattern of the linens? 

    Why do you need it to be "Southern"? If you live in the South, are planning your event there and in an elegant fashion, wouldn't it be "Southern Elegance" by default?

    If I were you I'd just make a list of all the things you love about your Southern heritage and use that to help you incorporate those things into your wedding.

    HAHAHAAH because here in the north hosting is SO unimportant!!! and mojitos are cuban, not southern, in origin.

    OP-what exactly do you mean by 'southern elegance'?
