As I’ve been designing and planning my bride’s weddings, I’ve compiled a list of my absolute dream Southern wedding venues! Not only would I personally love to have my future wedding at any of these stunning Southern locations, but I would definitely love to plan a wedding for a bride at any or all of these someday.

Each of these venues is uniquely breathtaking, drawing on the natural elements of the South. I love outdoor weddings, or, if it’s indoor, then a venue with abundant natural light, and I think that’s definitely reflected in these venues. And, it’s pretty obvious, I am smitten with statuesque Southern plantation homes and the look and feel they emit. It’s fun to have a dream wedding venue bucket list & see if I’m able to cross any of these breathtaking Southern venues off of my list! So if you know any newly engaged couple who would especially love to get married at one of these venues… well, let me know!
