This blog features photos from a classic, southern Louisiana wedding styled shoot. All photos taken by Erika Parker Photography.

Inside, Maison Lafitte boasts large, rustic chandeliers in the spacious entrance and above the bar. Guests may spread out comfortably into several rooms, including a back patio. Glo Event Decor, a close partner of Maison Lafitte, provided chic glass candle holders for this styled shoot. The candle glow gave a clean elegance befitting of a traditional southern wedding.

With intimate weddings growing in popularity, tablescapes have become more important than ever. Incorporating linens, candles, and greenery sets a romantic space for you and your guests to enjoy a meal. In this shoot, a soft pink color palette, blush roses, candlelight, and delicate champagne flutes create a welcoming space. And don’t forget place cards! A simple, elegant place card adds the final touch to your guests’ place setting.
