Things to Do

Killing Time in Oxford

Shop Oxford Town Square

You could probably spend HOURS exploring this quaint Mississippi Town Square.

Some of my favorite shops on the square include: Hemline, Cicada, Frock, Katherine Beck, Neilson's and so many more!

Square Books

Enjoy a stroll around Oxford and pop into Square Books! Enjoy a coffee while browsing through their selection of books, bonus points if you pick up a Mississippi author's book! (John Grisham is a Mississippi State Alum if you need a head start!)

Jonathan and I took our Engagement Pictures at Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's Home in Oxford, MS.


There is a museum you can go through inside of his home, but the grounds are worth a stroll through if the weather is nice!


Discount Building Materials

Hands down, the best Christmas Decoration Shopping. Take advantage of being in Oxford in December and enjoy this hidden gem! The exterior may look like a hardware store, but get ready for the most incredible Christmas Décor Selection you have ever seen.

Eating Your Way Through Oxford

Lunch Options are plentiful in Oxford, MS. To be honest, hard to beat small town cooking!

Ajax Diner

Throughout the wedding planning, this has been the must stop. (They have Gluten Free Options) and some of the best southern cooking in my humble opinion.

Madalyn's order: the porkchops, green beans and mashed potatoes!

Boure Restaurant

Another great food option, but also a great drink option! Enjoy the small town view and maybe catch a glimpse of Oxford decked out for the Christmas Season!
