Southern Weddings: New Looks from the Old South

This unique new book puts readers on the most coveted guest lists to the most spectacular events, and goes behind the scenes for an insider's look at how these glamorous affairs come to be.

Southern Weddings showcases 10 splendid weddings, and shares the tools-and tricks-of the trade Tara has learned from over a decade of working in the event world.
