Hail to Alma Mater!

Anyone who knows me well should know that I am a big supporter of all things USC–as in The University of Southern California. Now, while my husband and I both attended the university, we did not have a USC themed wedding. We did, however, throw the idea around.

So, with football season fast approaching, I got to thinking – what would a USC-inspired wedding look like? Below are just a few examples of how to incorporate cardinal and gold throughout a formal event, such as a wedding. If you didn’t attend USC, I think many of these ideas can translate into any school color scheme.

I love Cherry Blossoms. I may be bias towards them having lived in D.C. for a year and a half , but I am certain that anyone who has had the pleasure of walking along a Cherry Blossom lined sidewalk would agree.

These delicate flowers provide the perfect backdrop for a late winter/early spring day and they would also be the perfect backdrop for a wedding. If you’re considering a Cherry Blossom wedding, below are a few ideas to get you started:
