[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like if you call it a plantation wedding that is gross. But in the south this is just like...usually an attractive large house in a natural area that makes a good place for a lot of outdoor ceremonies. I feel like if you stay away from going too 'old south' in the theme and don't call it a plantation then I wouldn't really care. [/quote] I agree that, in one sense, a plantation is just a big old house on a piece of land. And if that's all it is, then it's not a huge deal. But I think you have to stay away from going "Old South" entirely. No antebellum nostalgia in the decor or dresses or anything. Playacting at being slaveowners is gross. Having a totally normal wedding at an old house with a big back lawn, and not celebrating its past as a site of slavery, is not the same thing. If the plantation itself really plays up the Gone With the Wind nonsense, though, that would rule it out as a venue for me. [/quote]
