There have been many folks passing through the store lately who are in town for weddings. I have a wedding myself to attend in a couple weeks (my older brother’s getting married!) and was inspired to share my own must-haves:

1. St. Germain for fancy celebratory cocktails. Love a splash in my classic gin and tonic.

2. A pretty hand-lettered card for the bride and groom.

3. Matches for the “perfect match,” available in our store.

4. A touch of red lipstick and your look is instantly kicked up a notch. I love this color.

5. Summery bouquets that bring happiness to a hotel room.

6. Our Fethiye, the most perfect traveling pant, also good for the morning after partying a bit too hard.

7. Glasses for my tired (contact-wearing) eyes. Vintage frames are my favorite.

8. A lovely tie handmade by Nashville’s very own Otis James.

9. Traveling carryall from Kenton Sorenson – makeup, jewelry, toiletries and more.

10. Gaucho’s Pearl. Romantic music that instantly transports me to an evening in Paris. This band will be playing at my brother’s wedding in San Francisco!

11. Shoes that work with your Fethiye pant or your wedding attire.

12. A blanket for chilly airplane rides.

13. A game of croquet for fun with the entire wedding party.

1. Natalie Prass and Kristen Weber, the girls I will be playing with at supper + song, as well as doing a lot of touring with this summer (that’s me pictured with them).

2. J.J. Cale’s Troubadour.

3. My big-ass knife just in case things gets crazy – or I need to cut something like rope, yarn or watermelon.

4. imogene + willie khakis!

5. I have been teaching myself how to play trumpet while on the road, but I mostly play guitar.

6. Snacks on the road: olives, carrots and rice cakes.

7. Red Chucks.

8. The movie Dazed and Confused.

9. Gas station necessity: smokes.

10. Bacon and eggs – I like to eat them.
