Wedding Inspiration

Your Dog Is Your First Baby. You Take Them To Daycare, To The Park, To Get Their Hair Cut, And Even Look For Pet Friendly Accommodations When You Travel. Since Pets Are Part Of Their Fur-ever Family, Many Couples Are Increasingly Choosing To Include Them In Their Wedding Day. If You’re Lucky Enough To Be Able To Have Your Animal As Part Of Your Ceremony Or Reception, There Are A Few Factors To Consider Before Springing For Flower Pup Attire. It’s Always Best To First Think Of The Comfort Of The Animal And Their Level Of Sociability. Will They Be Uneasy With A Large Number Of Strangers Or With Loud Music? Are They Well Enough Behaved To Not Lunge At Guests Or Try To Steal Food? It’s Not Uncommon For Guests To “accidentally” Drop Food To Your Baby And At One Such Wedding We Ended Up With A Pup With Tummy Troubles After Eating Quite A Few Donuts “generously” Given By Various Guests From The Sweets Table.  So You Should Consider Having A Handler To Assist With Your Pets On The Wedding Day. Many Times Pet Sitters Or Doggy Daycares Offer Services For Just Such Occasions. Typically They Are Available To Handle Your Pet Prior To The Wedding, Including Making Sure They Potty, Have Water, Are Dressed And There On Time. They May Even Bring A Bag Of Items Including Treats, Travel Water Bowls, Clean Up Bags & Various Other Items That May Come In Useful During The Day. You Can Also Request They Assist Your Pet Down The Aisle Or Act As The Behind-the-scenes Handler Before And After They Strut Their Stuff Down The Aisle. Following The Ceremony, They Can Also Take Your Pets Back Home, Or To Board At Their Business, If You’d Like Them To Participate But Not Party All Night. 

Renee & Richie Aren't Big On Flowers So I Came Up With Ways To Incorporate Candles & Smoke Into Their Wedding Instead, Including Having The Maids Carry Incense Burners With Smoke Filtering Out Of Them. It Came Out Beautifully!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Coordination: @alchemyeventsnola⁠ Photography: @darkroux⁠ Video: @marymcinema⁠ Ceremony Location: @pharmacymuseum⁠ Reception Location: @murielsnola⁠ Lighting & Decor: @fireflyambiance⁠ Rentals: @truevaluerental⁠ Dj: @khanceptentertainment⁠ Ceremony Brass Band & 2nd Line: @youngfellazbrassband⁠ Cake: @frostedfantasiesbynikki⁠ 2nd Line Drinks: @macartyhouse⁠ ⁠ ⁠
