Product Description

From the Southeast's preeminent wedding designer, Tara Guerard, comes 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.


From the Inside Flap

Southern Weddings: New Looks from the Old South
By Tara P. Guerard
Photography by Liz Banfield
In Southern Weddings: New Looks from the Old South, the region's premiere wedding designer, Tara Guerard, brings to light her native culture's centuries-old reputation for celebrating one of life's most important occasions with her own twenty-first-century spin.
Southern Weddings: New Looks from the Old South places you on the coveted guest list to Guerard's most spectacular events, and takes you behind the scenes for an insider's look at how her glamorous affairs come to be. With secrets, tips, practical how-tos and advice galore paired with stunning photography, Southern Weddings is the guide for brides who wish to capture the entertaining traditions of the Old South with a decidedly modern flair.
Through ten of Guerard's favorite weddings, she shares the tools-and tricks-of the trade she's learned from over a decade of working in the service industry. Every chapter imparts fresh information as each wedding-from a seaside soiree to country club chic-represents a different style, different challenges, and a different focus. With Southern Weddings, the consummate entertainer-slash-hostess shows readers how they can follow suit with a range of topics including choosing a venue and vendors, selecting colors, and set-dressing your way to a truly memorable celebration. Finally, an extensive resource section provides information about caterers, cake makers, wedding dresses, flowers and design details.
As they embark on their own wedding planning adventure, Southern Weddings gives readers glamorous inspiration and a peek behind the curtain that allows them to feel that Guerard's weddings are happily within their grasp.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Weddings in my Home Town, December 28, 2006
By Carolyn Thompson "Mom MD" (Sullivans Island, SC, USA) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book not because I'm in the wedding planning business or have a wedding in my future, but because I live in Charleston and love to entertain. I felt this book would give me ideas I could generalize to other types of events. I was not disappointed. By paying attention to the featured weddings, I could see recurrent themes in the way that Ms. Guerard operates - selecting a theme that is expressed in many ways throughout the event, draping, tenting, the importance of color, etc. An example is the common use of banquettes in the reception space. I'll bet that Ms. Guerard has this down to a science - a carpenter who can knock these out quickly and a seamstress who, using blocks of foam, can drape these with fabric, creating something elegant from relatively inexpensive materials. This is not a how-to book, though each featured wedding has instructions for creating something dramatic used in that wedding. I know there are plenty of handbooks on the market; this is an idea book with beautiful settings and photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars fabu pics, March 13, 2007
By K. Finlayson (Pittsburgh PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a northerner, I find the south fascinating and unfamiliar, and this book does nothing to dispel that notion - it only adds "gorgeous" to my description. I was particularly struck by the photography - the lush details that were captured, and the timeless look that would make any bride proud to display such photos for years to come. It even made me troll over to the photographer's website to see more!
