I was excited to receive an e-mail from Sarah at Southern Living magazine asking if I would like to receive a free copy of the new
Southern Living Weddings issue to do a review for y'all. Of course I said yes!!!
The cover features a cake inspired by a wedding dress with ruffles that look like waves...Pearl Perfection!

Southern bride!
