We recently shared our fall/winter issue’s fashion images here, but today’s post is all about the bouquets. These unique Southern bouquets were each inspired by a different natural Southern element: magnolia blooms, cotton, wheat, feathers and pinecones, to name a few. They started arriving one by one at the studio that morning and we were blown away by these talented floral designers and the bouquets they created for the photo shoot. We hope you enjoy these beauties!

Elements native to Arkansas, such as cotton and rice, inspired the look of our Southern fashion feature. We wrapped a handful of Arkansas rice with a pretty ribbon to make a simple and southern bouquet.
