Palmettos on the Bayou

1901 Bayou Ln., Slidell, LA 70458

Saturday, March 25, 2017

Ceremony: 11:30am

Reception: 12:00pm – 3:00pm

Please join us in celebrating the marriage of Garrett and Stephanie!  We will be having an outdoor ceremony followed by a reception style brunch. The average temperature on March 25th is a beautiful 74 degrees.  If it rains, the ceremony will begin at the same time but will be moved inside the reception venue.

Dress for the ceremony and reception is brunch formal.  For men, anything from a three piece suit to a blazer, khakis, and boat shoes is suitable for the occasion.  For women, cocktail length dresses in bright spring colors or Easter pastels are encouraged.  A maxi dress is also a great option. Women should avoid stilettos and pumps as the ceremony will be held on the lawn, and the reception will take place on an expansive wooden deck. Instead, wedges or sandals are both ideal options for this venue.  Kentucky Derby / Church hats are highly recommended.

The ceremony will be child free.  Your partner is welcome to sit with your baby or child at the reception venue during the ceremony.  Children are welcome at the reception.

Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
