Kelly and Lindsay’s wedding was a delightful and memorable event! The brides both got ready at the Blue Heron Bed & Breakfast in Mandeville, with the ceremony and reception taking place at Lang House just a few blocks away. Named for Jean Baptiste Lang, who originally built it around 1850, this historically-rich cottage was damaged in Hurricane Katrina, but was saved from destruction when its owners donated the structure, which was moved from the lakefront land where it had rested for 150 years, to its current location several blocks inland, nestled in the Kier Gardens. The Old Mandeville Historic Association painstakingly and lovingly restored the house, which now serves as a fascinating and educational museum, and also makes for a fantastic event venue for weddings and other gatherings on the northshore.
The couple’s ceremony took place on the back porch of the cottage, and was overflowing with beautiful and emotional moments that were a joy to capture! The Gentilly Stompers provided lively jazz entertainment during the reception and received many compliments throughout the night, The Sweet Life Bakery crafted the gorgeous cake, and Iris Floral arranged the beautiful flowers. At the end of the night, the couple was given a fabulous send-off as guests tossed birdseed!
