'The thing we wanted most was for our guests to be comfortable. We didn’t want any excuses on the dance floor!” said the groom.
. “I wanted lots and lots of greenery, and the aesthetic was mainly informed by both venues,” Bridgette explains. “They both already had lots of lush tropical plants everywhere, so there wasn’t much we needed to add in terms of decor.”
The festivities started the day before the wedding, when the couple hosted all of their guests for a cruise on the Steamboat Natchez and drinks at Bacchanal. The boat was stocked with gallons of frozen daiquiris and an order of 150 beignets from the famous Cafe Du Monde. “This enabled us to get the most out of the wedding itself as we had already caught up with those we hadn’t seen in a while,” Saul says.
“We emphasized ‘smart casual,’” Saul says. “The thing we wanted most was for our guests to be comfortable. We didn’t want any excuses on the dance floor!” As guests marched into the Pharmacy Museum for the reception, the Hot 8 Brass band was standing by the fountain at the end of the courtyard playing modern New Orleans brass music. “It brilliantly juxtaposed with the traditional music during the parade,” Bridgette says. The tables were laid out with vintage mismatched crockery, and florist“I actually burst into tears when I saw how everything had come together,” Bridgette adds.
