A Springtime Garden Party Wedding at Il Mercato

This past spring, we had the joy of designing a romantic, luxury wedding at Il Mercato—one of New Orleans’ most iconic venues. The vision was timeless: soft neutral blooms, lush greenery, and thoughtful floral installations that guided guests through a magical journey from the moment they arrived.

A Grand Entrance

The experience began at the gates of Il Mercato, where guests walked through a custom floral installation framing the iron entrance. Soft ivory blooms, airy spring textures, and cascading greenery created a welcoming arch that set the tone for the celebration.

Courtyard Romance

Once inside, guests were greeted by a mantle installation in the courtyard—a lush focal point that perfectly complemented the architecture and offered a serene backdrop during cocktail hour.

Walking Into the Celebration

As guests moved into the main hall, they passed through a breathtaking floral arch above the venue doors. This larger-than-life design, abundant with neutral flowers and verdant greens, created a dramatic yet elegant threshold into the reception space.

A Perfect Spring Palette

The overall design was soft and refined, with neutral blooms layered in creams, whites, and delicate greens. To add a subtle touch of spring whimsy, the bridesmaids wore pink, mixed-print dresses—a playful contrast that elevated the floral palette and tied everything together beautifully.

A Day to Remember

From start to finish, every detail at this Il Mercato garden party wedding was curated to feel timeless, romantic, and elevated. It was a true reflection of the couple’s style, and an unforgettable spring evening in New Orleans.
