{Haute Wedding} Jenn + Tyler

What fun, What fun! We are so excited to share the detail shots of Jenn and Tyler's Nottoway Wedding! Every wedding is special to us, but this wedding takes the cake because the bride is one of our fabulous owners! Nottoway is a gorgeous venue with beautiful options for ceremony and reception. Jenn and Tyler decided to tie the knot under the oaks. We decked the aisle with candles and Fleur du Jour out did themselves with the stunning flower arrangements. After a cocktail hour in the White Room, the celebration moved to the Grand Pavilion. From the lighting to the linens to the centerpieces, the details of this reception created such a joyful atmosphere perfect for the guests to have a grand ol' time!

Chantilly Wedding Photography was a breeze to work with and you'll see why we love them so when you see these shots...enjoy!

Tina with Verde Beauty Studio not only does gorgeous hair and make up for her brides...but she goes above and beyond for her clients! She was a lifesaver on this wedding day!

Stunning Gown from Bustle

Chatta Boxx in Baton Rouge was beyond fabulous when assisting each bridesmaid select a dress that fit with the design of the wedding but allowed each girl to display her personal style. 

Val Marie Papiere created such fun programs for the ceremony!

{Haute Party} An Artistic Lunch

Each year a group of lovely ladies known as the "Louisiana Legislative Spouses Auxiliary" visit the LSU campus for a day of interactive tours and experiences. The day is always focused around a specific department or unit of campus, and this year the fun surrounded the College of Art & Design. What a fantastic set of programs at LSU! If you are a student interested in architecture, interior design or art...do yourself a favor, and check it out!

Anyway, we set up a fabulous lunch in the art gallery of Foster Hall. This little hidden gem is a must see next time you are crusin' down Dalrymple Drive! This particular exhibit focused on undergraduate student projects and we were very impressed! Since the walls were covered in fabulous art, we didn't want to distract too much with a fancy set up. So, we kept it simple with a gray and white color scheme. Enjoy!

The agenda served as the invitation for the group and set the tone for the color scheme and event signage.

Simple tables, chairs and linens provided by Event Rental. 

The fabulous white arrangements were provided by Billy Heroman's Flowerland. 

The food was set in a separate gallery right next door...with even more outstanding art from talented students!

Seriously, we don't know what Drake's Catering does to their simple spinach salads...but delicious...seriously.

Simple signage to label the food that matched the agenda/invitation.

Yum...just yum.

Much love to the fabulous vendors that helped make this event a success! Thanks to:

Event Rental (tables, chairs, linens)

{Haute Party} Fit for a King...

For all our LSU Hauties out there, you will love the next few posts! We have been rockin' some LSU-themed events lately and are so excited to share some photos!

This particular event was a business/cocktail party focusing on the introduction of LSU President and Chancellor Designee, Dr. F. King Alexander. We rolled with an ivory, gold and white color scheme that was the perfect backdrop for some of our mercury glass vases. Enjoy!

The invitation set the tone for the color scheme and, of course, set the design for any event signage!

 

Tables, Linens and Fabulous Chairs provided by Event Rental

Gorgeous Flower Arrangements provided by Billy Heroman's Flowerland

To add a sense of texture to the five guest tables, we left one to strictly candles! 

Love our mercury glass trios!

Martini-Tied Cocktail Tables...yes please!

This photo doesn't do this space justice! The space was poorly lit and when the sun went down, you could have easily gotten lost! So we tossed some assorted mercury glass on the staircase to not only create a nice backdrop for the outdoor bar but also provide a little light for the guests. Win, Win!

Beyond tasty food provided by Drake's Catering

Of course the food labels matched the invitation!

Who doesn't love a signature cocktail??? Well, this one was super tasty!

We love our fabulous vendors that helped us make this event a success! Thanks to:
