New Orleans Infused Wedding | Duke Chapel | Washington Duke Inn

Sweet Mariah and Paul - probably 2 of the most warm and kind people you'll ever meet. Their wedding day was all about family and the best of friends. Celebrating in the heart of Duke's campus, a place dear to their hearts, M+P hopped on a golf cart to take the ride of their lives - to be married at Duke Chapel. With deep Southern roots originating in New Orleans, we celebrated with a King Cake flown in from Louisiana, a 2nd Line complete with handkerchiefs and umbrellas for the Bride and Groom, and naturally a seafood spread fit for a Cajun king! Along side their enormous wedding party - 14 on each side, these people are loved - Mariah and Paul, said I Do and walked into their new married life to the sounds of an incredible bagpiper, piping Scotland the Great! Such a treat!

The wind didn't want to completely cooperate, but M+P of course needed a gold balloon monogram for their golf cart escort to the church!

Mariah wanted to incorporate her New Orleans roots and had a King Cake flown in directly from New Orleans for guests to enjoy! The cake was topped with football helmets from Mariah and Paul's Alma Maters.

A monogrammed ice sculpture - yes please! Beautiful spread by The Washington Duke Inn!

Bring on the Second Line! This classic Nola tradition was a sure hit at the reception and got everyone up and out of their seats to parade around with the new Mr. and Mrs.
