Some trends come and go, but true Southern wedding style is forever. From lace gowns to garden ceremonies, there’s a sense of grace and tradition that makes Southern weddings so special. At The Grand Magnolia House, we see those beloved details woven into every celebration—and they never go out of style.
A Grand Setting with Southern Charm
Southern weddings are all about hospitality and heritage. Picture sweeping verandas, soft candlelight, and the scent of garden blooms drifting through the air. The Grand Magnolia House, with its historic architecture and elegant gardens, provides the perfect backdrop for that timeless charm—whether you’re saying “I do” beneath the bamboo forest, hosting cocktails on the veranda, or dancing under the stars in the courtyard.
Graceful Attire That Speaks Tradition
From heirloom pearls to lace-trimmed veils, Southern brides love to blend tradition with beauty. Classic ballgowns, cathedral-length trains, and crisp tuxedos never go out of fashion. Many couples honor family history by incorporating vintage accessories or wearing something passed down—like Grandma’s brooch or a father’s cufflinks. It’s those little details that turn a wedding into a legacy moment.
Elegant Florals & Garden Romance
In true Southern fashion, flowers take center stage. Think magnolias, hydrangeas, roses, and gardenias—arranged in overflowing centerpieces and romantic bouquets. Soft pastel palettes, ivory ribbons, and gold accents create a look that feels both luxurious and deeply rooted in tradition. The gardens at The Grand Magnolia House are often the inspiration for these florals, reflecting the colors of the season and the charm of the South.
Refined Reception Details
Nothing says “Southern celebration” like a graceful tablescape and warm hospitality. Picture monogrammed napkins, fine china, and tiered wedding cakes topped with fresh blooms. Guests sip sweet tea, sample bourbon cocktails, and feast on Southern favorites—from shrimp & grits to pecan pralines. At The Grand Magnolia House, we believe the best receptions feel like home, just dressed in elegance.
Timeless Traditions
Certain Southern customs never fade away: burying the bourbon, first looks under the oak trees, and lively receptions that end with sparkler exits. Couples often include a blessing before dinner or a family prayer, reminding everyone that love and faith are at the heart of it all. These timeless touches create weddings that feel personal, reverent, and deeply meaningful.
A Classic Style That Endures
Trends will come and go, but Southern wedding style remains a celebration of elegance, warmth, and community. Whether you’re planning a grand affair or an intimate garden gathering, those classic details—lace, florals, family, and faith—will always make your day unforgettable.
At The Grand Magnolia House, we’re honored to help couples bring that timeless beauty to life.
