Southern Lady July/August 2023

Join us in making the most of these long and leisurely days of sweet summertime in the South. Whether enjoying the gifts of your garden or traveling far from home, you will discover ideas galore in our July/August 2023 issue. Dazzling florals capture the season’s radiance and carefree allure, from an arrangement anchored by cool citrus slices to a vivid centerpiece at the heart of our table set for a lively Southwestern fiesta, complete with fajitas and creamy queso. We stroll the stately campus of Virginia Tech and the charming streets of surrounding Blacksburg; three gardens alive with history and colorful blooms beckon us to Nashville. Read all about the charismatic Gulf Coast community of Dunedin, Florida, and tour the beautifully designed interiors of abodes in Louisiana and Alabama. Round out any menu with our mouthwatering icebox pies, and take inspiration from our poolside fête, where a Smoky Tomato Dip and Watermelon Frosé encourage guests to linger in anticipation of a breathtaking summer sunset.
