What southern staples make you drool?
Mashed potatoes and mac n cheese. Both veggies right? We'll pretend.
Where are your heart stickers on the US map?
Charleston, St. Augustine (a lot of Westley’s family that I love
live here so we visit every summer), and it may sound silly but,
I love Myrtle Beach! My family
has a home there so lots'a
fun memories have been created at the beach.
3 things we'd find in your closet...
I’m sort of a plain jane, hehe! If I find a shirt that I like, I buy it in 3 different colors. Other than my solid tops, I love a
good sundress! However, if I could just be totally
honest about it all, I am the happiest in my nike shorts and a t-shirt! Norts never get old. One in every color, please!
What was the first thing you did to plan for your wedding?
Other than
picking our wedding date 30 minutes after Westley’s proposed; I
called and booked the reception venue the next day! I've always loved
the Springdale House and knew I had to snatch
it up quick!
Thoughts on wedding colors?
Aqua and Coral!
Did you take anyone special with you dress shopping?
Mom and I decided to run in Bella Vista and
browse one day. After about 30 minutes, I had found the dress…and it was
on sale!
Any areas you've been able to save some moolah?
I’ve found some great websites via Pinterest
for buying burlap, mason jars, and paper lanterns in bulk
for a great price! And, of course my dress!
Give the readers your best advise about
wedding planning...
If I could give any advice it would be to enjoy
the planning process but don’t forget to prepare your heart for
marriage. Being engaged is not only a time to prepare for the wedding but to prepare your heart to be united to one another for a lifetime! A
dear friend of mine gave me the book, Inviting God to Your Wedding and I
would recommend it to any bride. It’s so easy to get caught up in all
the hoopla that comes with planning for the actual day, but
honestly none of that will matter. I will marry the love of my life on
July 28th and even if it rains on my day, even if the bouquets aren't
exactly right, even if no one else even shows up, God will be present at
our wedding and He will be glorified…and that is all that matters to
us.
Caroline, thank you for sharing your deets and wisdom with us! Southern Bells wishes you all the luck in your planning and a marriage full of love and adoration.
