One of the most important milestones of one’s life is a wedding, but an event such as this is more than an esteemed occasion; in the South, it is an affair to remember. In the South, a wedding is an entire social season. And depending on what part of Mississippi you’re in, even that varies.
Months of planning, caterers, florists, photographers and the like easily keep the bride’s calendar booked. Furthermore, relatives, long time friends, and college roommates come together for an opportunity to get reacquainted with one another and to honor the couple. Visions of white gowns, candles flickering, and the scent of flowers in the air become a reality. But, the style of a wedding is only part of what becomes most memorable. In Mississippi, a proper Southern wedding is about ambiance and all that it imparts.
For example, the ever popular destination wedding allows the bridal party and guests to take in the local sites and do a little shopping, but it also provides a venue in which everyone can relax, enjoy the momentous occasion, and reminisce.
Or, perhaps a ceremony in a grand church or cathedral followed by a reception in a high-rise appeals to the bride and groom’s sense of style. An elegantly appointed southern wedding is easily incorporated into a more modern setting.
Finally, taking their vows in an historic bed and breakfast enables a couple to present their wedding in a classically southern manner while hosting a sophisticated reception on a tented lawn.
Above all, a Mississippi wedding is elegant, classic, and traditional. However, it is not simply dictated by style alone. It is genuinely southern because of the ambiance it conveys. The atmosphere engages the bridal party and guests and allows them to remember the meaning of the special event – friends and family gathered together in an intimate setting to celebrate a union and to make treasured memories; that truly defines a Mississippi wedding.
