ABOUT THE VENUE

The Moore is a modern event venue in Elmwood, Louisiana. In addition to a 5,100 sq ft ballroom, The Moore  recently added a luxurious courtyard space with white stucco walls, a working fireplace and  fountain.

For the ceremony, Berry Blossom Flowers decorated The Moore’s courtyard fireplace with lush, colorful blooms with tropical fruit as accents. True Value Rentals’ clear Napoleon chairs bring the acrylic motif to the ceremony setting.

For the bridesmaid look, we chose a Charmeuse Cowl-Back, Princess Line dress with a front slit in the color Atlantic Blue from Pearl’s Place.

The tropical vibes carry inside to the reception table, here Alchemy Events designer Rena Sweeney, chose to mix a neon sign in hot pink lettering with colorful taper candles on True Value Rentals wooden farmhouse table that complements the rustic feel of The Moore’s ballroom fireplace.

Kimbla’s Cakes crafted this 3-tier fondant watercolor cake with a sugar monsterra leaf and hibiscus motif. The cake sits atop True Value Rentals clear acrylic cake stand, filled to the brim with tropical fruit and fresh blooms.  Fuchsia linen ties in the pink neon sign and a green and gold ceramic leaf dish provides a beautiful place to rest the cake knife.
