Flowers for the New South at Southern Bouquets

If you're looking to put a modern dash of South in your wedding, call Tamela Scarborough of Southern Bouquets. Her look? New South—fresh, fashionable twists on sentimental favorites.
Tamela brings her Southern heritage to the table, helping brides intermingle their family history and roots into their wedding designs. For example, she'll help you incorporate your family silver into centerpieces, or perk up hurricanes with filler that spotlights something sweet or singular about you. She also creates lovely monogrammed ribbons, sashes, and more—perfect touches to symbolize your new wedded life. (And reusable at Christmas or other holidays, she says.)
What we love: Tamela is independent (which keeps costs down), and she works with small growers to get the freshest flowers and greenery possible. And although she has a crew to help her with setup, it's her hands that put the flowers together, not a faceless assistant. She services metro Atlanta, but does a healthy business with Athens brides, too—and is moving into more event design, including drapery, linens, and stationery. And did we mention that she also does the flowers for the Georgia Governor's Mansion?
How have you incorporated Southern style into your wedding? Let us know more in the comments.
