It's that time of year again, with bridal showers and weddings almost every weekend, and I'm heading to the beach this week for my brother-in-law's wedding. My own anniversary was last week, and I enjoy reminiscing about my own wedding. While it seems a little too hot to have an outdoor wedding here in Birmingham, I came across some lovely outdoor weddings, one in Atlanta and one in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, in past issues.


Designer Nancy Braithwaite held an outdoor reception at her Atlanta home for her daughter Kiery.

Red became the theme color for the day.

I love this idea of displaying wedding photos of past generations with your own engagement photo.

Planning a wedding in another country had its challenges, but it was worth it for Neely and Biggs Powell of Memphis.

"There's a whole world behind every door in San Miguel. It's such an inspiring, meditative place," says Neely.

Moravian stars lit the entrance to the reception.

I can remember that gorgeous red-and-white wedding from the moment it appeared in print! Simply charming! And I wonder if any ladies still wear hats to a wedding? I always do wear one (usually ones from the talented Louise Green) -- but seem to be in a minority -- even in blazing sun and fierce heat! LOL!

I adore that touch of Red! It's amazing how just one bright color makes White pop...and injects just the right amount of fun.
