The Ceremony

“Being the movie fans that Drew and I are, we wanted the location to be very Gone with the Wind,” Amanda says. They found exactly what they were looking for in the spectacular riverside grounds of Houmas House, where the evening ceremony took place on the plantation steps under 100-year-old oaks. Rows of chairs were decorated with cream-colored roses, blue hydrangeas, and blue silk ribbon, while a four-foot wreath of blue hydrangeas and ivory and cream-colored roses hung on the plantation door, just behind the officiant.
