For Natalee & Jeff's wedding we put music on a pedestal...literally! String performers for the ceremony and opera singer for the intro to the reception perched on a mirrored pedestal. And don't forget the Louis Armstrong impersonator, second line band, and the ultimate reception band, the Phunky Monkeys! ⁠

Day to night! Natalee & Jeff's outdoor setup transitioned beautifully from afternoon to evening. Doesn't that first picture of them look like a painting!? And then keep swiping to see their cocktail hour area that during the reception served as a lounge (regular & portrait!), cigar bar, and coffee stop!⁠

The final luncheon on Day 3 of was a flamingo-filled feast, inspired by the most adorable flamingo purse/gift that set the tone for the day. 🦩 Its whimsical design added a playful touch to the decor.⁠

Some beautiful shots of Day 1 at the Luxury Floral Conference in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida. ⁠Can you believe we had to pivot to a new venue less than a month before the conference due to hurricane damage? I'm beyond proud of my incredible team and the other amazing sponsors for coming together, embracing the challenge, and turning the gorgeous change of venue into a positive. How stunning is the ?? From the elegant ballrooms to the meticulously manicured grounds, every inch was the perfect backdrop.⁠

Who could use a drink right about now?? The perfect party isn’t complete without an amazing signature cocktail—or a few! Tristan's birthday at Hotel Saint Vincent delivered just that. We always recommend offering a little variety: you can’t go wrong with one drink that’s sweet and one that’s strong.⁠

Angela & Ian’s wedding was luxurious and striking, thanks to the variety of unique shapes incorporated into the design. The octagonal gazebo was echoed by octagonal couches, impossibly long dinner tables added grandeur, and the crescent moon aerial hoop brought a touch of whimsy. The overall aesthetic was a fresh, decadent take on Art Deco.⁠

Our team is safe yet saddened about the horrific tragedy that took place over New Year's in the French Quarter. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the city of New Orleans, a community that has endured so many hardships. 💙 Sending hope and healing to our city and beyond. ⚜️

When a larger-than-life floral peacock greets you at the gate, you know it’s going to be an unforgettable wedding. With lush seating vignettes for cocktail hour and grand, sweeping dining tables, guests at Angela and Ian’s reception were treated to an incredible experience.⁠

I love these portraits of Angela and Ian! The St. Charles streetcar passing by is definitely one of the perks of getting married at the historic Elms Mansion. You can see how much fun these two had during their photo session, and their romance feels epic and timeless!⁠

You can tell a Dogwood Blossom stationary suite from a mile away 🤩 Just spectacular. Natalee & Jeff’s invitations were a lux prelude to their lavish wedding that was yet to come. The gold leaf custom crests and velvet finishes were opulent yet refined touches. ⁠

Tristan’s birthday party bled late into the night and the afterparty in the Chapel Club at the Saint Vincent Hotel was a dark and decadent affair. Epic entertainment carried throughout the evening, from cocktail hour to late-night, that felt uniquely New Orleans.⁠

How do you create a wedding station that appeals to both men and women? Transform a champagne bar into a cigar lounge, and you’ve got something for everyone! 🥂The outdoor seating and photo ops were plentiful, and the rich, vibrant colors enhanced the cozy yet luxurious atmosphere without overpowering it.⁠
