Next month, Stately Oaks will offer special tours on mid-19th century wedding traditions, as well as bridesmaids luncheons, and teas, for brides to be.

Throughout the month of June, Stately Oaks Plantation will focus on the traditions and customs of weddings. "Romantic Memories of Yesteryear: 1830-1869," an exhibit taking place at Stately Oaks during the month of June, will take visitors through the clothing, etiquette, and attitudes of people entering the sacred bonds of matrimony in the mid-19th century.

Starting in June, Stately Oaks also will offer special bridesmaid luncheons, and teas, to women preparing to walk down the aisle. Takers will have the chance to be served a full lunch with a romantically-themed chocolate dessert, as well as a guided tour of the "Romantic Memories of Yesteryear: 1830-1869" exhibit.
