FROM THE editor’s desk
It’s that time of year! Love is in the air. Not only did countless Coast couples get engaged this “ring season,” but Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It doesn’t get more romantic than that!
Each February, South Mississippi Living celebrates love with
a special issue dedicated to Romance & Weddings. Like any hopeless romantic, I can’t get enough of weddings, and I find myself daydreaming about this edition all year long. Thanks to our many amazing sponsors and contributing vendors, we’re excited to bring you another beautiful bridal issue.
This year’s cover photo shoot took place at Centennial Plaza
in Gulfport, which offers countless location opportunities for both ceremonies and receptions. Our lovely cover model is Kristina Graham, owner of Tribe Boutique in Ocean Springs, accompanied by her husband, Mike, who operates Nursing Management Inc. Kristina was dressed by The Wedding Collection, who also provided the décor for the indoor reception featured in this issue. Mike’s tux was provided by Deedy’s Formals and Tuxedos and his bowtie and pocket square are from S.F. Alman. Styling for both the bride and groom was provided by Chuck Kelly Salon Spa. Pav & Broome Fine Jewelry supplied jewelry for both models and Pine Hills Floral Designs created the floral elements. The cake was made by Sugar Tribe Sweets & Events. Last but not least, Southern Event Productions outfitted Centennial Plaza’s chapel with drapery and lighting.
Special thanks to these talented vendors, as well as our many advertisers who made this special section possible. I would also like to thank the South Mississippi Living staff and contributors for all their hard work pulling this issue together.
