There’s nothing quite like a Southern outdoor wedding - the golden light, the warm breeze, the charm of magnolia trees swaying in the background. But in Mississippi, the way you style your big day can shift dramatically depending on whether you’re saying “I do” under the summer sun or during the crisp beauty of fall. Let’s talk about how to style your Southern outdoor wedding for each season, featuring a few of our favorite gowns here at The Bride & Groom of Mississippi.
Summer
When the summer heat is in full swing, comfort and breathability are key - without sacrificing style, of course. Opt for light fabrics, airy silhouettes, and designs that let you move and mingle with ease.

Fall
Mississippi’s fall weddings have a whole different charm - the air is crisp, the colors are deeper, and you can play with more texture and layering.

Perfect for a cooler evening, this gown pairs a luxurious satin skirt with airy chiffon sleeves. The pleated bodice adds dimension, and the blouson sleeves give you just enough coverage while still feeling romantic.
