A proper southern brunch – engagement party

As much as I love breaking tradition and pushing the creative envelope for weddings & parties alike, it is nice, especially in the South to see a good old fashioned party thrown properly – complete with silver, crystal and fine linens.  These are are lost art forms from a time past and it sure does feel fancy to be in their presence.

The guests of honor were Amelia and her charming fiancé Michael.  Amelia, lucky gal, is a guest bride blogger for Style Me Pretty so be on the lookout for her amazing parties and wedding on Style Me Pretty later this year!  Amelia & Michael call Boston their home where Amelia started Colour Bloc – a brilliant art consulting company.  Be sure to check her out and follow her amazing blog.

The beautiful brunch was hosted and styled by Cindy Edwards who “embodies everything pretty, perky and proper about the South.” A guest blogger for Paula Dean, you can find her tips on throwing an easy and elegant brunch here!
