Southern Plantation Wedding Ideas
Southern weddings are both romantic and elegant. The beautiful scenery of the south, the cordial ways of the southerners, make this wedding one where old traditions and elegance can be felt by all. Beautiful magnolias and oak trees, as well as southern gentlemen and belles are what this wedding is all about.
I love the elegance of the south and above all, of the beautiful magnolias. Here I will show you some beautiful invitations, as well as decoration & food ideas for the perfect southern wedding.

Save The Date Magnets & Cards
Save-the-date cards & magnets do not have to match your wedding stationery, however, choosing a coordinating design makes for a great presentation and fully coordinated wedding. These should be sent out 4 to 5 months in advance. If your wedding is already closer than that, send out as soon as possible, provided you have at least two months prior to your wedding. Otherwise, you can just send out wedding invitations.

Southern Plantation Wedding Decor
These beautiful wedding decorations from Luna Bazaar.
The best wedding decorations site with a wide variety of unique wedding decorations.
When choosing decorations for a southern wedding held at a plantation, you should choose decorations that enhance the beautiful venue vs. detract from it. Southern plantations are beautiful and elegant and thus your decorations should reflect the same style. Vintage items, as well as florals and nature inspired items are best for this type of venue. For a more modern ambiance, choose only one or two colors for your wedding decorations. For a more vintage look, choose a wide variety of colors.
PAPER MAGNOLIAS
You can also make beautiful paper magnolias to save on wedding decorations. They are simple to make and look stunning.
OAK TREE SLABS
Use oak tree slabs for making wedding table numbers or as the base for votive candles and floral arrangements. These can also be used to decorate around the wedding cake.
