Southern Lady March/April 2016

From the sunshine shades of forsythia and daffodils to the blushing blossoms that cover azalea bushes, we love the colorful way spring announces its arrival each year. This entertaining special issue of Southern Lady welcomes the much-anticipated season with enthusiasm and offers plenty of ways for making the most of these jubilant months with annual features like New Looks for Old China and Party Time—complete with ideas for a bridal shower, a baby shower, and a little boy’s birthday party. Explore Frankfurt, the second stop in our “Capital Cities” travel series, and journey with us to the azalea trails of Mobile, Alabama, as well as the Duke Mansion, a grandiose bed-and-breakfast in Charlotte. And you won’t want to miss our classic alfresco Easter meal or our smorgasbord of beautiful—and delicious—egg dishes.
