I am a Pennsylvania born girl living in North Carolina and loving all things Southern. I am so close to using y'all on a daily basis. I have been planning events for 10 years and fell head over heels in love with Weddings 5 years ago. I love all things fashion, colorful, design, and of course weddings!

Happy (first official) Monday of 2013! We thought we would start things out with a bold, and much loved, pattern – Chevron. It has taken wedding decor by storm and it’s not stoping. We love how it can be incorporated into many aspects of the wedding including, cake, napkins, plates, backdrops, favors, stationary and pretty much anything else that you can think of!

Would you use Chevron in your wedding decor?

Make it pretty!
