A MISSISSIPPI
WEDDING 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 and decisions on caterers, yorists, photographers and the liŽe easily Žeep the bride’s calendar booŽed. urthermore, relatives, long time friends, and college roommates come together for an opportunity to get reacquainted with one another and to honor the couple. 6isions of white gowns, yicŽering candles, and the scent of yowers 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. or e�ample, the ever popular destination wedding allows the bridal party and guests to taŽe in the local sites and do a little shopping, but it also provides a venue in which everyone can rela�, en�oy the momentous occasion, and reminisce. Perhaps a ceremony in a grand church or cathedral followed by a reception in a highrise appeals to the bride and groom’s sense of style. An elegantly appointed Southern wedding is easily incorporated into a more modern setting. /aŽing their vows in an historic bed and breaŽfast 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 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 maŽe treasured memories. That truly dewnes a Mississippi wedding. oin us as we visit Mississippi and the professionals that will maŽe your dream wedding come true.
