For drinks you could do lemonade with sweet tea vodka. Totally delish and fits with your theme. :) I also love pomegranate champagne punch, or I made this white peach sangria that was a huge hit at a party (if you want recipes let me know)
How about coleslaw, collard greens, mashed turnips, succotash, or corn casserole.
I'm thinking for sides, add collard greens and fried green tomatoes.
For drinks, mint juleps would look SO pretty in one of those holders.
ETA: Ooo also, my venue does a sweet potato parsnip fried cake. I think that would go well with remoulade. Also, corn on the cob OR cream corn would be a good idea. Oh, and grits. Can I come to your wedding? 
@mwitter80 I would love recipes PLEASE! that white peach sangria sounds so yummy!
@reginaphalange I just love a mint julep (in my very southern accent)
and DUH Collard greens...corn caserole sounds good too!
any more suggestions???
Here's the peach Sangria. Make sure to let it sit for 8 to 48 hours.
Pom Punch
Ingredients:1 quart pomegranate juice2 cups fresh orange juice2 cups chilled limeade1 (750ml) bottle of champagne or sparkling wine orange slices to garnish punch bowl
You need you some greens. Get some spicy collards or some garlic green beans!
Fried okra??! :D
What do you think about mojitos? Or a "south side swizzle" (gin version)? Both are similar to a mint julep but without the brown liquor.
@mwitter80: I love sweet tea vodka! its dangerous with lemonade :) and a perfect choice for a southern menu
you could do sausage balls! have you ever had them? delicious...they never last long.

@ painauchocolat that southside swizzle looks pretty yummy. we might have to make some and see if we like it better than our original mint mojito. I love the name though.
@totheislnds yes we both LOVE sweet tea vodka and I am starting to think it is a must for a southern wedding. I have never heard of sausage balls, might have to whip up a batch.
Thanks ladies!
@ashleetoo: You're welcome. We saw it last night on Zane Lamprey's new show Drinking Made Easy in the segment featuring gin drinks. (I just discovered gin!)
This is RIGHT up my alley! I went to this awesome wedding where they served classy southern cuisine. It was amazing! They, of course, had shrimp and grits. They also had these AWESOME martini glass meals! They layered coleslaw, BBQ, baked beans, mashed potatoes with a piece of cornbread to garnish. It was amazing, classy, but still southern! I cannot stress how much everyone loved it and raved over it!
@ashleetoo: I think BBQ baked beans to pair with the brisket, something green like green bean casserole or turnip greens and maybe some sweet corn. I would love to see sweet tea, lemonade with fresh lemons, strawberry lemonade with fresh strawberries and peach Sangria with fresh peach slices. OMG this sounds soooo good! I would love to come to your wedding.
Not saying you have to do a chicken dish, but I'm just curious why you wouldn't want to?
I agree with PP to add greens -- I love okra, personally! : )
For cocktails, mojitos or mint juleps would be great!
Corn goes well with southern food, red potatoes, mashed potatoes, southern green beans (with bacon, onions and potatoes in them), could all be other side options.
@soladylike I think baked beans sounds delish, along with the strawberry lemonade. We both order it at every restaurant we go to and didnt even think of it so thankyou!
@jenniphyr I cant exactly explain why we dont want chicken. When our caterer friend brought up chicken we were kind of like "meh, chicken". I read a post on here about another bride not wanting chicken and chose a seafood and steak option and it turned out great and it convinced me that not having chicken was OK.
@milks mom are you talking about the sweeet tea and lemonade called firefly? YUM!
You definitely gotta have some greens! I'd add have cornbread along with the biscuits, too. I'd say maybe, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried squash/okra, black eyed peas, corn (on the cob or not),
For drinks, I'd say a colorful champagne punch would be great (like the recipe Mwitter80 gave). Also, mint juleps are supposed to be a "southern" drink, although I've never had one.
How about gumbo? You could use a soup and it's definitely southern!

Hey Ya'll
we are doing a southern wedding menu and our good friend is the caterer. She is open to letting us do "whatever" we would like. this is what I was thinking (buffet style)
grilled peach glazed pork chops
shrimp and grits
BBQ brisket
sweet potatoes
mac and cheese
salad
buscuits
and cornbread...
I feel like I need more side dishes and we REALLY REALLY dont want to do a chicken dish.
we also want to do mixed drinks in drink dispensers like this...
with two holding sweet tea and lemonade. But we want to do 4 different "adult" mixed drinks....ummmm what kind of mixed drinks do ya'll like?
