New Orleans Black-Tie Wedding

With sequins, and glitter, and sparkles — oh my! We had a blast heading down south with Bash, Please for a 400-person New Orleans black-tie wedding that was one of our highlights of the year! With a vendor team that included Tec Petaja for photos, Joel Serrato for video, and an amazing 80s cover band, it was bound to be a party! [and it was!] The neutral palette of whites and greens throughout the florals complimented the neutral and glittery palette of blush pink, nude, gold that danced among all the candlelight.

It’s hard to go wrong with that kind of concept, and bridesmaids in mixed, but matching, gold sequin dresses? We’re big fans.

We headed back to Austin a mere 5 hours after breakdown ended at 4am that night, and I only wish we had more time to explore. NOLA—I’m putting it out there: we’d love to come back!

Some venues have that “wedding factory” vibe.Oceana’s Garden doesn’t—in fact, it feels like a hidden world right next to downtown Boulder.

For couples who want a wedding […]
