There was a very Gatsby-style glam in the air, everyone in high spirits and carrying feathered boas and bouquets, wearing vintage dresses and headpieces, or (in the case of the men) decked out in bowties, fedoras and suspenders.
The ceremony and reception were held in our courtyard with an elegant but almost mischievous feel to the lavishly decorated area. There was a clawed bathtub filled with ice and refreshments; the fountain overflowed with floating white chrysanthemums and white roses, lit a warm cream from the hundreds of candles. It was like being transported back to era of the Speakeasy with just enough New Orleans flair.
The Bride herself wore a nontraditional black vintage flapper dress (with just a touch of glorious Morticia Addams!) accompanied by pearls, and of course, the classic 1920s finger waves hairdo!

After the ceremony ended and the party began they set up a large projection screen. They weren't playing a slideshow of photos like you would think. Instead, the Saints game was put on. True New Orleanians at heart!
