Uptown Rustic MS moves to Starkville

Uptown Rustic MS opened one month ago, and owner Morgan Reed said Starkville has welcomed her with open arms.

“I opened Uptown Rustic MS February 28th,” Reed said. “It will always be a day that I remember because it was my 23rd birthday.”

Uptown Rustic MS is a wedding planning service and boutique located on 108 North Lafayette St., down the steps that branch off of Main Street and a few buildings down the hill. The store combines the classic boutique environment, local products and wedding and event rentals and services.

“Uptown Rustic MS is a collection of everything I love,” Reed said. “I have Trendy jewelry by Brooke Morgan Designs and 2 P’s in a Pod, bath products by Kitten Britches — the mini bath bombs are my favorite.”

Reed said that her favorite scents are ‘put a spell on you,’ ‘light blue’ and ‘wild watermelon.’

The boutique portion of the store also sells Lipsense, hand-poured candles, southern boutique style clothing for all sizes of women, painted furniture and wedding decor.

Uptown Rustic MS has rentals for special events and offers full event planning services, including floral design.

“My services I offer have expanded to not only the event planning, but I now offer holiday decorating, home staging, interior decorating and design,” Reed said. “I have a lot of upcoming events inside Uptown Rustic MS.”

One of those events at Uptown Rustic MS are a Spray Tan Night on April 27, where after hours summer sales and giveaways will be hosted, Reed said. Tans can be booked through Mystic Tan, which can be contacted through its Facebook page.

Hours for Uptown Rustic are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday. The Uptown Rustic MS Facebook page provides pictures of products and descriptions of different services the
