Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?
We loved antique styled places that was the main factor in our decision of wedding venue which we ultimately landed on Maison de Tours in St. Martinville. We loved the brick and overall style of the venue so I chose colors that would tie it all together which were rust, sage green, off white, and pops of gold.
Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?
A lot of what we did was DIY. With the place being so beautiful on its own we didn’t have to decorate much and mainly focused on flowers as decor. We used a lot of fresh flowers all over and with fresh mixed in with fake. We wanted a light and enchanting atmosphere which we achieved with all the flowers and candles/lanterns. We ordered flowers from Costco and Sam’s club, as well as picking up fresh flowers from Albertons. My vision was able to come to life through the creative capabilities of my 2 aunts Tranaci and Lori.
Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, traditions, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?
We had book shelves dedicated to my grandparents and his grandmother who couldn’t be there with us on our special day. Even though they couldn’t physically be there with us we still wanted to make them a part of our day. I also had small rosaries made from flowers from each of my grandparents funerals incorporated into my bouquet.
Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?
I really wanted to stick with the classy antique theme of our wedding so our looks reflected the same. I chose for the groomsmen to wear a classic black three piece suits and for the bridesmaids a sleek satin off the shoulder dresses. The biggest selling point of my dress and the main reason I chose it is because of the all the lace detail and the traditional lace and beaded train.
What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?
One of the most anticipated parts of the wedding day was seeing everything picked out all come together beautifully on the day of and enjoying it all with our family and friends. The most special moment of the day was finally seeing my husband as I walked down the aisle with my father to him.
Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?
Don’t stress too much and really just try to be present and enjoy each and every moment of the day because it goes by really fast! This day is about you and your husband only don’t lose sight of that!
