Real Wedding: Karas and Cauley

A simple compliment and 10 years brought Catherine Cauley and Claire Karas to the courtyard of Il Mercato on April 2, 2016. Two hundred of their friends and family celebrated the couple as the sun went down on this spring day. The ceremony was followed by a cocktail hour and then a reception in the main room of the Lower Garden District venue. Catherine stunned in an Anne Barge gown, while Claire opted for a more suitable look. Their navy, gold and touch of pink color scheme matched beautifully with the season, confirming the notion that darker hues can be gorgeously styled in typically bright color seasons. Joel Catering and Events provided the nibbles, as guests rocked out with The Phunky Monkeys. The night concluded with a true New Orleans second line with the brides and Dr. Jazz at the helm.
