A southern Belle is elegantly enchanting.

A young southern girls training began early in her youth. She was taught etiquette, politeness, charm, poise, needlepoint, sewing, dance, and even how to curtsy.

Above all else a Southern belle was taught to be a lady. It was believed that all the finer points of being a true lady were as important to southern women as was the official military school training that boys received.

The southern belle in her floor length gown appeared to float on air as she dramatically made her entrance to a room. Graceful, charming, delicate, and carefully crafted to be beautiful, she was the breath of fresh air that this solemn era needed.

A belle wedding theme brings back all the charm and grace of a southern ball. Where the sound of a waltz rings across the room, women curtsy as the men politely request their hand for the next dance, and chivalry still is the first priority of the evenings activities. Take a romantic step back into the past.

Disney's Princess Belle reawakened images of the charming southern belles who with fluttering fans, curtsied their way into the hearts, and favor of many a young suitor. Innocent, charming, and perfectly schooled in the proper principles and teachings that turn a child into a lady, these young women became what we now refer to as the traditional southern belle.

If a southern lady could afford the extravagance then no expense was spared in her dress. Whether her clothing was sewn by a local seamstress, imported in from Paris France, or purchased at the local Milliener, a lady's wardrobe was an important component of the persona which she so proudly wore.

Lace, feathers, flowers, buttons, and bows were all finery which enhanced the gowns a southern belle wore. Her long gloves, shawl, dress jacket, and umbrella were used to protect her fine skin from the damaging effects of the hot southern sun.

The southern belle walked the street in pleated ruffled gowns, with the unspoken rustling secret of hoops and petticoats, specifically designed to bring her image romantically to life.

A southern belle wedding is a very romantic theme.

The polite gestures of chivalry just seem to naturally flow into a southern belle wedding theme. Ladies curtsy and men reach out their hand to help them to their feet.

The costumes encourage the guests to enter into their roles in the scenario, men bow at their waist to acknowledge a greeting to another, and find that they often reach out to kiss the delicate fingers of their lady's hand. A southern belle wedding theme is very charming and endearing.
