The Choice

Last week I gave you the venues we had narrowed it down to. This week I'm revealing our decision. Some of you got it right, but the venue we picked was...
Houmas House

Houmas House!

Of course I can't make the reveal without showing more pictures of the site, this way you'll fall in love at least a little more like me.

This is the original Houmas House china, which they've had remade and will be served on to look something like this.
Eggs Creole
Although this was taken at a brunch eaten in their restaurant. Since we're having an evening reception we're not expecting to have any hollandaise sauce.
Dragonfly Chairs

Of course I can't show all these pictures of the plantation without at least one photo from an actual wedding there, right? Didn't think so!

Now that you know our final choice, please join in my excitment and let me know what's your favorite part of our venue, based on course on the pictures I've shared.

    I think it's awesome that you're getting married at an old plantation! It couldn't be more Louisiana, I think you're going to have such gorgeous pictures!

    That is a gorgeous reception site. It will realy show the Lousiana way to your guests. So beautiful. I love the rich colors of that one interior room. And that bride w/ the water lilies reminds me of a monet wedding!

    I love all of it, especially since I've been there! Hopefully you can get a picture on the big spiral staircase!

    Did you pick a photographer yet? I can suggest some awesome ones. :)
