A New Orleans Garden Style Bridesmaid Proposal Story

The very start of a wedding usually begins with a special proposal and an engagement ring. Someone has to agree and say yes to the ever-popular and sacred question of “will you marry me?” However, there’s one other important proposal that sets the tone for the beautiful nuptials, and that would be the proposal to your best group of people, asking them if they’ll do the honor of being your bridesmaids.

Traditionally, this type of interaction would be done through an invitation or maybe even with a phone call. But for this bride, intertwining her love for New Orleans and the natural art of the Garden District, we showcased this to display an alternative and creative way to pop the question to your future bridesmaids.

Exuding nothing but positivity throughout the entire event, we opted to incorporate lavender sage in all of the bundles to keep the consistency of love and good vibes for the series of events to come. At the brunch table, all of the seating tags were presented to read “Will You Bloom Into Mrs. With Me”?

When the wheels start turning about the wonderful day that you say “I do,” being able to bring your friends along on the journey is such an honor. As a true reflection of who you are, having the people who were there before this milestone is beautiful. What better way to reveal your proposition than to shower them with a meaningful and memorable event that will kick off the big event to come?

So, are you going to be in my wedding or nah?

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
4 sprigs fresh lavender

2 cups vodka
4 ounces fresh lime juice
Club soda

Strain the syrup and pour into a jar; as you pour, use a masher or back of a spoon to squeeze all the remaining juice from the berries.

In a glass pitcher, combine the vodka, 3/4 cup of the blueberry lavender simple syrup, the lime juice, and club soda.
Add ice and a healthy handful of blueberries.
When you’re ready to pour, you can garnish each glass with some more blueberries and a sprig of lavender.
