It’s no secret that trying to plan a wedding is difficult. Trying to plan a wedding from another country? Almost impossible. That is, unless you have someone who lives in your destination and is willing to help you plan your wedding.

This love story starts with a local New Orleans’ mother and her daughter who lives in another french-influenced city…Paris, France.

When her daughter wanted a destination wedding in New Orleans, mother of the bride, Laura, selflessly handled all the planning for her daughter and future son-in-law, Cate and Rick. Laura thought through every small detail to ensure that everything would be just what the bride would want. As if Cate were choosing the details herself.

My personal favorite details that Laura chose were of course, the flowers! The stems she chose were a bit organic and wild, with a touch of color, and lots of texture. They were truly perfect for the Audubon Park setting. The stunning arch formed from the large, overgrown oak trees added in such a lovely natural detail behind the couple.

Another perfect (and delicious) detail was the cake. Bittersweet Confections truly outdid themselves (as always)! I need to talk with Cheryl about a cupcake tax. Extra chocolate please!

At the end of the night the happy couple could hardly part from their guests. In addition to being a beautiful wedding, it was a lovely gathering of love and a brilliant start to a happy marriage.

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!
