For this inspiration board, I imagined a classic Southern wedding with a subtle French twist. Not New Orleans, necessarily, though this would certainly work for a NOLA wedding. Magnolias, bundt cake and punch meet St. Germain, vintage linen, and zinc containers. The black accent adds something unexpected to the otherwise simple garden palette of green and white, without being overpowering. What do you think – does this combination of Southern charm and French inspiration work?

This is dreamy! The theme is perfectly gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite inspiration boards :)
this board makes me want to go to Paris to eat pastries and then hit as many flea markets as possible (: lovely!
What a great mix…Southern charm with French accents..exquisite! Love the back on the black dress and the invites with the stripe bow.
Love everything about this…simplicity, with classic black and white..pure perfection!
Love this board, especially the cake! I can’t seem to find it on Martha Stewart’s website though, and I would love to see a larger picture of it. Appreciate any help :)
Such a simple and chic theme, great concept. Thanks for the post!
