Petals & Pieces

Wedding Planning Elements

 Azalea’s services are offered by single stems or by the full bouquet.

Choose one or all of our wedding planning elements to design an arrangement that suits your unique personality. Locations all over the world is our specialty if that is what your heart desires or just right here in the Number 4 world wedding destination: New Orleans.  Just a stone’s throw from New Orleans is our beautiful Hallmark town of Ponchatoula where our Azalea headquarters reside.   Whether you picture your wedding under a tent in a grassy field by the sea, or at a delightful hotel set back in time, we can help you choose the perfect location for your special day.

Culinary Delights
How about fresh, shelled lobster bathed in warm chive butter? Or tender baby greens drizzled with a citrus dressing? Finish it off with tarts made with freshly picked  blueberries. With an abundance of the freshest produce, seafood, and meats, we can arrange a menu to satisfy any foodie. From well-stocked buffet stations to white-glove table service, we work with only the best caterers to indulge your palate and delight your senses.

Memories
The look on his face as she walks down the aisle. The bouquet held delicately against her white dress. The moment you joyfully pronounce, “I do!” to the world. Preserve these once-in-a-lifetime memories forever with tried and tested photographers and videographers.

Flowers
With a name like “Azalea” you can trust that we know about flowers. Bright bouquets and gorgeous centerpieces bring your vision into bloom. Imagine your guests entering your event through ten-foot flowering trees filled with spring blossoms. Or, surprise your guests with a single bloom weaving itself throughout your event in unpredictable and elegant ways.

Entertainment
Music can illicit some of the strongest memories of our lives. Imprint the memory of your event on your guests with the perfect soundtrack. From the elegance of a big band to the funky sounds of a D.J., music provides an ebb and flow to your event as you and your guests create memories dancing into the wee hours of the night.

Tent & Lighting
Is there a theme to your wedding? A feeling you would like to convey? Imagine the looks on your guests faces as they walk into a ballroom bathed in a warm glow. Twinkle lights dazzle them as they make their way around the room. They know this is a night like no other. Whether you are starting with a clean canvas like a crisp party tent, or have an elaborately decorated location, lighting is an effective way to create ambience and set the stage for your special day. It can elicit dramatic moods or soften a space and always makes your event pop.

Décor & Rentals
Do you envision a Moroccan hideaway with lush linens and comfy cushions or are you more of an English garden person? We can help you achieve whatever your heart desires through first class rentals. Rich linens, sparkling crystal, and shining flatware are just a starting point. Antique chandeliers, estate garden urns, and china replicas of your grandmother’s china; these are only a few of the many ideas we can develop with you in mind.

Printing
A box arrives in the mail. Curious, the recipient opens it to find beautiful white seashells. After digging a little deeper, a hidden treasure is found, an invitation to your seaside wedding. We think outside the envelope to find creative and fun ideas for your printed items from save the date cards to thank you notes.

Hair & Makeup
The bride is the star of the day and she deserves star treatment. With access to the most talented hair and makeup artists (and they are artists!), you and your bridal party will be the stunning starlets that you are.

Ceremony
It’s one of the most important days of your life. When you walk down the aisle and take your vows, it should be a day dreams are made of. From a stone church perched on the cliffs overlooking the ocean to a meandering path of petals in your family’s garden, we can make your moment at the altar perfect. We take care of the production so you need only remember your lines, “I do.”

Transportation
We cover it all. The soft thump of hooves whispers off of the fresh fallen winter snow while you nestle into each other in a horse-driven sleigh. Your guests trail behind you carrying white candles to light the way. We go beyond the limo to make sure you get there with style and panache. Details In addition to ensuring a smooth event we sweat the small stuff, so you don’t have to. Every detail is considered whether it’s providing soft brushes tied with ribbons to dust your feet after a beach wedding, or dangling thank you notes with a bag of freshly baked cookies from your guests’ rearview mirror as a surprise parting gift. It’s the special touches that help make your event one to remember.
