A Contemporary Southern Reception in NOLA

The standout event rental for this wedding reception in New Orleans was our Marie Daage Champagne Stripe handpainted charger. The opaque white Chloe goblet completed this modern take on Southern traditions. From the planner, Colin Cowie: Our bride was married at her childhood home in New Orleans, wearing a breathtaking Vivienne Westwood gown. The ceremony featured a white lacquered aisle lined with towering blown-out roses and cascading orchids beneath lime-washed arches. After saying “I do,” the couple led a boisterous second line parade through the streets with a brass band – a true New Orleans celebration. ✨ Guests dined on grilled oysters, caviar deviled eggs, and Louisiana crab cakes beneath 50 glittering chandeliers in a custom-built glass tent overflowing with orchids, hydrangeas, and greenery. The night ended with glittering makeup makeovers, a neon-lit after-party, and the groom backflipping into the pool—pure Southern magic.
