How cute are these umbrellas?

Very cute. I've heard of Southern bridesmaids using parasols...care to try it out?

Vika said...

I think Sarah would look adorable with a parasol!

J said...

Wouldn't she? Maybe I could find a bonnet to match...;)

Vika said...

Haha, I'm not sure about a bonnet. Can I see some pictures?

J said...

Here's one...

And another.

Vika said...

Haha "The grace and beauty of the old South is discovered in this authentic Charleston bonnet. Every little girl will be admired in this exquisite bonnet made of Swiss Organdy to frame her face when she leaves the house. "

Sarah said...

Gretchen already did the parasol and lace gloves (wrist-length)...

It looks like a seashell (yes, I saw it is supposed to and I got that before clicking through).

A bonnet like this?

Sarah said...

And UG to both.

Vika said...

You don't want a bonnet and a parasol, Sarah?

Sarah said...

Only if I have to... I already did this for Halloween in my childhood.

Vika said...

I don't think you'll get any candy this time around....

Sarah said...

Then there isn't any benefit. If we are doing it might as well go full on Gone with the Wind too. None of this half ass stuff. ;)

Vika said...

Oh, Scarlett!

Sarah said...

Still in love with that book! Jaime would have to be Scarlett though...

J said...

Oooh, I'll have to look through Gretchen's wedding photos again. I have requested Steel Magnolias for Mike to watch to learn about southern weddings...maybe we could watch GWTW, too. :) Here is the book I just finished reading that was really cute: The Wedding Machine. V, ignore the Women of Faith Fiction part- you can easily ignore those (small) parts of the book.

Vika said...

Haha, I wouldn't expect anything less than "Women of Faith" in a place where "Southern hospitality thrives"

Sarah said...

GWTW isn't exactly a wedding movie as much as an epic saga. I need to rewatch it after having read the book. I don't recall loving the moving with nearly the same passion.

Sarah said...

I love you, Jaime, but where did you find that book?!

J said...

It was in the new fiction section of the library. It had wedding in the title, so I had to read it! Yes, my wedding obsession extends to fictional accounts as well. Was/Am considering doing a search at the NYPL for Southern wedding fiction. I have no shame.
