I had the sweetest reunion this weekend and the best wedding, all rolled up into one!

16 years ago, I had the privilege of planning a wedding for a very special couple. I’ve stayed in touch with them through Facebook (one of the beautiful things about social media!). Several months ago, I got a call from that former bride saying her niece was getting married. What an honor!

I knew I would love the bride because of her aunt, uncle, and family, but I didn’t know how much I would immediately love the bride because of who she and who her now husband was. What an amazing couple! And what a joy to reconnect with the Williamson family for another beautiful bride getting married.

Congratulations, Jailesci and Zach!

It was a special moment in my life to work with you to plan their wedding, Joni. I loved seeing you, Marvin, your handsome sons, and family this weekend!

Ceremony: St. Louis Cathedral

Reception: Royal Sonesta Hotel New Orleans Timmie Spurlock and her team were absolutely phenomenal! She went above and beyond every step of the way!

Sneak peek from a gorgeous wedding at a private estate on a perfect Louisiana fall day! What made this wedding even more special was the fact that we did this bride’s twin sister’s wedding a few years ago. What an honor to be trusted once again!

We had the pleasure of coordinating and handling the flowers and decor for a beautiful fall wedding recently! The bride wanted fall but not obvious fall. We love when clients put their trust in us and they squeal and tear up when they see the finished product! ☺️

As always, the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center were absolute rockstars to work with. Phenomenal food, impeccable service, beautiful venue.

Classic elegance describes this last weekend’s wedding from the venue to the bride to the decor. I enjoyed working with Heather and Mike so much and we wish them so many happy moments!

Now to recognize the unbelievable effort that went into making it a success.

A million thanks to Ellie Puryear with the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center. Her bright, calming smile is one of the best parts of hosting an event there and her extraordinary staff is the second best part (thank you, Felicia, Lorraine and everyone else!!)

I always feel inadequate in thanking my staff because mere words are not enough. This weekend quadrupled that feeling. One of our suppliers had a mixup that ultimately stole a day from our time to setup. Once the delivery was finally made with only 4 hours to do what we’d planned on doing in 1.5 days, everyone jumped into action and MADE IT HAPPEN! Mikki took the design for the arch from my head and from inspiration pictures and made it materialize like a gorgeous garden mirage. Jason and Zach made sure she had everything she needed as she designed. Jackie and Wenni didn’t stop until the aisle looked as magical as the arch. Mikki and Jackie (and I’m not even sure who all else) made sure the reception had beautiful, romantic centerpieces waiting when the ceremony was over so we could flip the room. The entire staff pitched in to transform the room from ceremony to reception and it was just lovely. Thank you for being the amazing team that you are!!

I can’t wait to get the formal pictures back from Allen Cutrer!!

Nannette Mayhall delivered a beautiful cake but the taste is the best part. I’ve eaten a lot of wedding cake through the years and not one tastes like Nannette’s cakes. Her cakes are just decadent!

Thanks to Doug Olinde, LLC for providing last minute rentals. They always come through with the best!!

A great group of vendors for a great couple! 🥰

Will a First Look ruin the experience of them walking down the aisle? This guy doesn’t think so…

This weekend we had the honor of doing another wedding at the hospitable and beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts with Tony Trevino Designs. As a nice bonus, we worked with TT&T Dance Floors for the first time and hope it isn’t the last!

This is a couple of weeks late in getting posted but I couldn’t NOT post! We once again had the opportunity to partner with the talented Trevino Design to do the flowers for this gorgeous bride. We don’t have the professional pictures back yet but we’re still swooning over the ones we took with our phones. 😍

Thank you to my incredible team, Mikki Ashworth and Audrey Houston. I even had former Gala team member, Debbie Stuart Stiltner, swing by and lend a hand. 🥰
