Meridian Couple Married in Oxford | Mississippi June Wedding

Layne and Joseph’s wedding day was beyond amazing. Even though they grew up together in Meridian, Oxford is a very special place to them. It was the perfect place to become husband and wife.

The morning began at the beautiful South Lamar House. Its vintage sophistication made everything look pristine and unique. Layne and her bridal party got ready there. She looked incredible in her wedding gown that had little details of something blue and something borrowed. On the train of her gown, there was blue lace that was on her mother’s wedding gown. She also had pearled straps added to the gown that were also her mother's. Layne also exchanged sweet letters with her mom, her mother-in-law, and with Joseph. She had first looks with her bridal party, her brother, her father, her stepfather, and Joseph. It was very important to her that each person in her life felt special on her day.

After all the sentimental parts were done at the South Lamar House, including Layne and Joseph’s first look, the whole bridal party went to the Ole Miss campus to take photos of its beautiful landscape and quintessential landmarks. They also used a bright red trolley to escort them around the town. Finally, after all the beautiful shots, they are taken to the place where they would say they’re “I do’s,” The Jefferson.

The ceremony at The Jefferson decorated stunningly. The floral arrangement in the middle of the doors leading out to the water was flawless. In front of all their family and friends, they said their vows and make their commitments.

After the ceremony, the cocktail hour and reception were exceptional. Delicious food and open bars were served endlessly. The bride's cake was beautiful, but it was the groom's cake that stole the show. His cake was made to look like Swayze Field. It was incredible and unlike anything, we have ever seen. The band had an easy time getting the guests to celebrate. And finally, the party favors were passed out which were hats embroidered with their dog and wedding date. They exited with sparklers and left in a vintage classic car.

Layne and Joseph were married on June 24, 2023, at The Jefferson in Oxford, Mississippi.

The grand extravagance of Caroline and Jeffrey’s wedding weekend was one like no other. Incredible and creative floral arrangements, tables overfilled with delicious and fresh food, and the sophistication of venues were only a few of the many magnificent details of this awe-inspiring wedding weekend.

The weekend began with a beautiful rehearsal dinner at Northwood Country Club. The large windows in the dining room with the golf lanes behind was an incredible place to begin festivities. Even though a large storm came through, family and friends toasted the couple and enjoyed a post-toast to enjoy the out-of-town company even more. A live band also played as people laughed and talked throughout the evening.

On the day of the wedding, the bridal party arrived at the Episcopal Church of The Mediator to begin getting ready. In the Parish Hall, there was a table filled with timeless touches from Caroline’s family heritage that she would incorporate throughout the day. Her gown was flawless with a unique lace sweater-like top for her to wear over the strapless gown. She truly looked royal in her gown. Jeffrey’s black tuxedo also made him look dignified. Together Caroline and Jeffrey were such a stunning couple. Even though it was such a hot and humid day in June, they had such a sweet first look revealed in the church's memory garden. Caroline also had a first look with her bridesmaids and brother and father. Everyone was ecstatic for the time to come for the ceremony.

The ceremony was one of immense intentionality and prayer. Held in the church where her parents were married, every detail of the ceremony had significance and importance. Blessings upon blessings were spoken and prayers over the couple. Vows and rings were exchanged so that finally Jeffrey and Caroline were husband and wife.

The reception was held at the MSU Riley Center in downtown Meridian. The ballroom was filled with the most lofty and extravagant floral arrangements that one could ever imagine. Even in the center of the dance floor, there was a tent-like structure covered in greenery with a brilliant flower chandelier. It was beyond magnificent. Throughout the room, there were numerous tables filled with incredible food. Cajun, Southern, Italian, Mexican, and Petit fours are just a few of the foods that filled the tables. The band was also an incredible aspect of the evening that had no problem getting the people to celebrate the darling couple. After an incredible evening, Caroline and Jeffrey leave in style in a vintage Rolls Royce.

Caroline and Jeffrey were married on June 17, 2023, at the Episcopal Church of The Mediator in Meridian, Mississippi.

Elegant Meridian Wedding with Fun Reception at Northwood

Rachel and Chris wanted to start the new year right. And what better way than to get married!? Rachel and Chris’ wedding day was a gorgeous, crisp, and perfect day in January. Elegance and timelessness enveloped the day in many ways.

Rachel started the day at her mom’s home as she was surrounded by her two best childhood friends and her two sisters. Rachel beamed with radiance as she stood by the big window in her classy ball-gown wedding dress. Her bouquet was simply orchids that exuded nothing but elegance. Rachel had her first look with her bridesmaids and her stepdad at the house. Chris met Rachel at the Northwood Country Club.

Rachel and Chris had the sweetest first look on the green of the golf course surrounded by beautiful winter foliage. They took several moments to be together and then they were ready to go to the church. When they arrived at the church, Rachel had a first look with her dad. Rachel and Chris were at ease and very comfortable with each other as they took photos. One could tell that they simply enjoyed being together on such a special day.

The ceremony was beautiful as it was set in the old Presbyterian church. The altar with the cross decorated so delicately was the perfect backdrop to their marriage ceremony. They also had both of their childhood pastors marry them. Chris’ pastor married his parents as well! When all the vows were made and the kiss that sealed it, a vintage trolley was outside the church and whisked them away to the reception.

The reception was held at Northwood Country Club where delicious food was served, drinks were made, and people were ready to party. The band got everybody excited and the couple dance their first dance in front of their family and loved ones. The bride's cake was gorgeous as it was decorated too with orchids under a baby's-breath floral chandelier. There was a photo booth where guests could take favors from the wedding. At the end of the reception, Rachel and Chris left through a tunnel of bubbles and laughed in a vintage car. It was nothing short of perfect.

Rachel and Chris were married on January 14, 2023, at First Presbyterian Church of Meridian in Meridian, Mississippi.
