Everyone danced the night away amidst twinkling candlelight in this most special place.Whitney and Nolan chose to have their New Orleans wedding at the Marigny opera house, and it was amazing! We absolutely loved everything about this wedding, mostly because it was dripping with Lousiana culture. Beth and Phil treated their guests to a true New Orleans celebration with a traditional Second Line following the ceremony, incredible creole cuisine from Joel’s catering, & the funky jazz tunes of the Swamp Donkeys.

Gold accents continued with lanterns and candle décor. Deep teal escort cards and menus popped with gilded gold calligraphy. Patinaed doors provided the perfect backdrop as Beth and Phil said their “I do’s” and also served as welcome and escort tables. Vintage elements, including well-worn doors were also featured in the ceremony and reception. Birch, greenery, and soft florals were abundant throughout the décor. The pale gray gave a modern edge to the design and provided the perfect backdrop to bring all of the other elements together. And, her grandmother’s milk glass also provided inspiration.

The copper came from table runners that Beth’s family member made. The color palette was pale gray, copper, mixed metals, lush greenery, ivory, deep burgundy, with unexpected pops of teal. Her inspiration was to take the haunting beauty of the opera house and infuse it with organic & gilded details with a dash of a modern edge. Beth & Phil were married at a place like no other, the Marigny Opera House, in a city like no other, New Orleans. It was Art Nouveau inspired, with delicate and intricate beading and an oh-so dramatic back – truly modern, timeless, and elegant. And, her wedding gown reflected her impeccable style completely. Beth has such a unique sense of style and a clear vision of what she wanted to create for her and Phil’s special day. “The moment I met Beth, I knew that working with her to plan her and Phil’s wedding day was going to be something special.
