A winter wedding in New Orleans is special. The average daytime temperature in New Orleans is 65 degrees - no need to bring your parka, and there are only six days of rain on average - so perfect weather!

If your wedding is a destination, it is a great time for traveling. The crowds are smaller, the city is decorated in it’s holiday best, and there are great free events to enjoy with your family and guests including:

A Christmas Parade ( a maybe for 2020 . . .)
Caroling in Jackson Square
A driving tour of Christmas Lights in City Park, synced with a local radio station for Christmas carols
A Christmas Walking Tour in the French Quarter
The Messiah by the New Orleans Symphony Chorus

Here’s an arrangement from a holiday party last year - just to show ya’ll what’s on trend.

The BEST Part of New Orleans in the winter is that venues are all dressed up! The venues all have their holiday best in place, and that is a great place to start with wedding decor. City Park is covered in lights! The Roosevelt and the Royal Sonesta have over the top installations! Everything has a little more magic.

Foliage and textures are on point. We have been doing glorious large bouquets of mixed foliage, and there are lots of great textures that can be incorporated for holiday.

Marsala is a great palate for winter. add winter foliage, and you are in high style for holiday!

I love a blue holiday wedding, just add a little velvet for a perfect look.

What could be more lovely than seasonal silver foliage with all the beautiful white flowers - casa blanca lilies, peonies, garden roses and tulips, with just a hint of cedar. Winter perfection!

I try to work with seasonal flowers. They are at their peak of size and beauty and they are well priced. Get the details on my favorite flowers and foliage for winter.

What Our Happy Brides Say About Us:

Diane and her team are the best! Fat Cat Flowers was the very first vendor we booked after we secured our venue and it was one of the easiest decisions during the entire wedding planning process. I knew as soon as I had seen photos of her prior floral creations at NOAC that she was the perfect person. She was able to translate my 'wish list' of flowers and arrangements into gorgeous bouquets and arches. I I loved the tablescape she designed and it was even more amazing than I had imagined. Everyone is so talented, professional, and kind-such a joy to work with!

My wedding flowers from Fat Cat were gooooooorgeous!! I really could not be happier with how everything turned out. When I first contacted Fat Cat in the early wedding planning stages, all I had in mind was a color palette, and honestly didn't even know here to start with flowers. They took care of everything with wonderful suggestions. My bouquets and the floral arch they created for our ceremony were so perfect. Highly, highly recommend booking with this vendor!

Working with Diane at Fat Cat was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!! I'm not a flower connoisseur, and I wasn't looking to have a floral budget that was through the roof, but I do appreciate gorgeous flowers. Fat Cat's pricing was transparent & affordable compared to other quotes I received. But believe when I say, even though it was an affordable price, it was a luxury experience! I was able to give general direction on what I was looking for with a color palette, and let the creative team do the rest! Diane was super flexible, resourceful and communicative throughout the planning process - an absolute pleasure to work with. And she absolutely delivered on the day!!! I would recommend Fat Cat Flowers for anyone planning a wedding in NOLA!
