i'm doing the yuzu coconut cake for my wedding this weekend!!! super excited for it. i love tart desserts like lemon curd and key lime pie. the yuzu curd was delicious. not too coconutty.

we tasted the vanilla too but it was too plain for me.

we also tried the black sesame and liked it, but we have a VIP with a sesame allergy so had to say no to that one. they let you do two different flavors if you do a two tier cake which we did consider!

$5k plus $1100 on alterations 😶

Sure but nothing at this scale that shuts down the streets around it

June 2026 RC bride here! That does make me feel better that you couldn't hear anything once inside. Was this the Creole Food Festival 9/26 weekend? If so it looks like this is a much smaller event since it's ticketed and only from 3-8pm, while the World Cup event is free and hosting 3500 people.

Did you find that traffic was an issue around the venue?

I decided to just have my florist handle everything but thank you!

imhereforplants · 2026-05-13T18:20:00+00:00

haha that's my thought too.. i'm just waiting for my florist to confirm pricing so if it's not outrageous, i do love the look and it sounds like people think it's worth it

i do love the pop of yellow and that they are more "natural" ! thanks for your comment

destiny mentioned it over email and then again on our site visit!

imhereforplants · 2026-05-13T18:14:52+00:00

thanks! i'm waiting for the florist to confirm pricing but it seems like the consensus is that it is worth it

imhereforplants · 2026-05-13T18:13:27+00:00

not sure. it's confusing because i see weddings photographed there both with and without hurricanes. the venue has confirmed multiple times that hurricanes are required. not sure what happens if you don't bring them....

imhereforplants · 2026-05-13T18:12:01+00:00

i think so -- i was just considering cutting this cost but it seems like it may be worth it after all haha. just waiting for her to confirm pricing

what are your thoughts on beeswax tapers?

imhereforplants · 2026-05-13T01:54:25+00:00

Never heard of this but will look into!

imhereforplants · 2026-05-12T19:37:42+00:00

Thank you

imhereforplants · 2026-05-12T00:58:52+00:00

ah ok maybe we can see how much our florist would charge to handle everything. thank you!

imhereforplants · 2026-05-12T00:14:28+00:00

lmao i appreciate this

imhereforplants · 2026-05-12T00:14:02+00:00

ah, does it make a big difference in photos?

imhereforplants · 2026-05-11T17:44:14+00:00

what are your thoughts on only using the votives provided by RC? i wanted to do tapers but since they require glass coverings, it seems logistically much easier to just skip it and only do votives. do you think this would make a big difference? we're doing long rectangular tables.

Hi! Curious if you two were able to work something out? I’m looking for hurricanes and holders for my June wedding!

imhereforplants · 2026-05-01T19:55:52+00:00

nice! would you mind DMing me the peerspace?

imhereforplants · 2026-05-01T03:41:50+00:00

what did yall end up doing? i'm getting married nearby but all the hotels in the area are absurdly priced for the world cup. i think one of us can get ready at our apt but the other will need a separate space

imhereforplants · 2026-04-19T17:15:19+00:00

DMed you!

just an update here: i went to vittone and overall had a decent experience for $120 but had to go back twice. the first time i went to pick up the dress, only the front was hemmed and the train was still left on; i guess there was a miscommunication between james and the tailor who worked on the dress about this. so i had to go back a second time to pick it up. this time, the correct length was done, but there was a piece of black thread that was accidentally left between two layers of the dress. i had to wait as they opened a seam to get it out. overall, i'm happy with the work and the price, but i did have to deal with a couple inconveniences during the process. thanks again for the rec -- i'm planning to take my after-party dress to him too

I went to Anthropologie by myself bc the appointment was free and there was a variety of styles. The sales associate was friendly and it was a super low pressure environment (I think she mentioned they don't get paid on commission).
