"My favorite flower is the hydrangea," says Pamela. Appropriately, her bouquet showcased white hydrangeas with lemon-leaf collar, with stems wrapped in pink double-faced satin ribbon.

In keeping with the colors of the day, Pamela‘s maid and matron of honor and junior bridesmaid wore pink satin A-line dresses with a mocha satin ribbon by Wtoo. Her bridesmaids wore the same dress in cognac with a pink ribbon.

Introducing the wedding‘s color palette, the chocolate-hue cards were printed in a gold-color font, and the RSVPs were in pink with chocolate ink. "The whole set of cards was kept together with a wide ribbon of chocolate and pink circles, topped by a thin ivory ribbon tied in a knot," Pamela explains.

The only official dance of the evening, Pamela and George took their first spin on the dance floor to "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison.

Rose petals and bud vases wrapped in pink and brown ribbon decorated the guest book table and candy buffet. For a sweet treat, Pamela and George had Smarties, Pixy Stix, Mary Janes, M&Ms, and MoonPies on offer.

Pamela and George‘s wedding cake mimicked the look of the bride‘s gown with embroidery-like pink and cream frosting on the top and bottom layers. The three-tier confection included layers of almond cake with raspberry buttercream filling, and red velvet cake with cream-cheese frosting.

Pamela donned a natural silk-satin ball gown, with an embroidered waist and chapel-length train by Now & Forever. To accessorize, she wore diamond earrings -- a wedding gift from George -- and vintage crystal clips in her hair.

Not even a major hurricane could keep Pamela and George from declaring their love for one another. After the storm, the couple put Plan B into action, and set their sights on a historic building in Baton Rouge.

After returning from London, Pamela was in the mood for a pint. So she headed to an English pub in New Orleans, where the bartender introduced her to George, a fellow anglophile and kindred spirit.
