Everybody seems to be getting married these days. I mean, duh, people get married every day, but there are noticeable spikes in nuptial exchanges during certain months/seasons. Right now I believe the NOLA wedding season is wrapping up as it is becoming too hot to do much of anything.
This past weekend I worked a wedding reception with the catering company out at the Stella Plantation. The couple had a super cute theme/decor going on with corn hole boards, horse shoe pits, and a photo booth area for their guests to enjoy. They devoured their southern family style dinner then moved on to lots of tasty sweet treats before finishing the night up with fries and sliders!
The dessert spread looked so elegant on the antique furniture surrounded by candles and flowers.
Close up of the desserts. They had multiple cakes in various flavors and styles topped with fun figurines including a pair of sheep, a cat & dog duo, and a wooden painted Batman and bride.

Two of the cakes along with mini pecan pies.
Everything was so nice. Very Pinterest. Not too over the top, but seemed like they tried to be very true to themselves. They ended the festivities with an awesome fireworks show!
Funny story: I was in the kitchen tent when the explosions began and a few ladies on the wait staff were bringing trays back in. The noise obviously startled them and one lady mumbled "Dear Lord, they can't be doing that! I'm from the hood! I thought someone done been shot!" Bless her heart!
The 11 hours working (including drive time) flew by as they typically do. The only complaint would be the heat (there is no escaping it really) while the sun was still up and the bugs when the sun went down. Being out in the middle of nowhere and near the river I suppose the critters were to be expected. Driving back to NOLA we, Sara and I, went through a few patches of fog…that is something I have not seen in a looooong time. It was nice getting out of the city for a bit and seeing some "country" areas :)
