If I had to choose one flower that epitomizes the South for me, I’d have to choose the Southern Magnolia. It’s big and fragrant, yet so simple and uncomplicated. It also doesn’t really like to be picked. Anyone that has reached up high enough on a Southern Magnolia and plucked one of this beauties, knows it quickly browns anywhere fingers touch. It likes right were it is and is happiest when it stays connected to it’s roots. Okay – maybe my analysis has gone a smidgen too far, but I love these flowers. I grew up with them in my back yard and I love incorporating them into my designs. So, I loved putting together bride, Corey’s, invitation suite which she wanted to be clean and classic, while still bringing in a little “Southern Prettiness.”

We’re printing in all black on creamy Pearl stock for the invitation and we’re flat printing a booklet style Save the Date to incorporate a map with directions to Magnolia Plantation, where the wedding will be taking place. How crazy perfect!
