Wedding Wednesday

Happy Wedding Wednesday y’all!

Of course, it’s only really Wedding Wednesday in one place (my favorite wedding blog Style Me Pretty,) but that doesn’t make it any less important. After spending the day perusing some featured weddings on the site and taking a peek at BHLDN and the Nordstrom Suite’s latest gowns, GOOD brought something to my attention that I never really ever  considered. One of this year’s latest wedding trends is having them set at historical plantations. Now, don’t get me wrong, these locations are beautiful. They are absolutely stunning  with their vintage structures and a backdrop that you just can’t get anywhere else. However, are we forgetting what plantations used to be? They reminded us of that part in history where we believed slave labor was acceptable. Does having our weddings there today mean that we accept it or that enough time has passed that we can move on from that?

Something to think about huh? Who knew weddings could become this controversial?
