But what makes it a preppy traditional wedding vs. a traditional wedding?

You have traditional Italian weddings. You have traditional Indian weddings. And then you have traditional preppy weddings, which might be called traditional middle-to-upper class WASP weddings.

I guess what I'm saying is that if one is thinking of preppy as a style, a true preppy's style would be very traditional -- or perhaps in some circumstances, a traditional casual. A preppy "look" along the lines of what's in some of these pictures doesn't necessarily equal real preppy, at least not Southern preppy as I've seen it.

ETA: Low C Sharp beat me to it, but what she said.
