Southern Fab Finds: Flower Earrings

October 31, 2011 by Nicole in Contests | 25 comments

One of my favorite things about Southern weddings is seeing bridesmaids rock adorable dresses and cowboy boots. Somehow Southern ladies can beautifully pull off formal attire with their own down-to-earth style. When I saw the jewelry from Peach Tree Lane, I was immediately reminded of this perfect balance. Their pieces combine the pretty shapes and details of some of our favorite flowers with down-to-earth and whimsical colors and construction.

Whitney loved Peach Tree Lane’s chrysanthemum necklace and I couldn’t help but fall for their lily flower rings. The bright colors mixed with our favorite neutral tones won us over!

Peach Tree Lane does earring sets, too! They’re perfect for bridesmaid gifts or to add to the ensemble on your big day. The best part? You know they’ll look cute topping off a cowboy-booted outfit.

Samantha C., October 31, 2011 12:53 pm   Yeehaw! Love this: Thumb up 0 reply Cuuute (and affordable!) accessories! I think I'd choose a multi-pack for my girls, like the "Peachy Keen" hairpin, rose studs & chrysanthemum ring set. I've loved the Southern style to allow girls to choose their dresses based on color schemes, so a multi-pack like that would allow the same continuity-without-being-identical feel.

My colors are pink and purple and my bridesmaids are wearing pink matching dresses. There are four of them so I would order two sets and have 2 wear the pink and two wear the lavendar ones. The flower girl and I would both wear the cream ones....so cute! I love a little bit of mismatching.

If you are new around these parts, welcome! We’re so glad to have you and hope you’ll sit a spell with us. If you just picked up your first copy of Southern Weddings on newsstands this week or got one of our many pre-orders via the hilarious and hard-workin’ SWPS, you may know there is a little biscuit in my oven. I’ve reached the nine-months mark, so Baby Grace is set to arrive any day now! The current view from my desk…
