New Orleans Wedding Traditions WEDDINGS, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN NEW ORLEANS, ARE RICH IN TRADITION. HERE ARE A FEW SPECIAL IDEAS TO INCORPORATE. Wedding Brunches Brunch is a way of life in New Orleans, making this lovely, lingering mid-morning meal a popular tradition at weddings. Kick off your special weekend with a welcome brunch, or toast the morning after you say “I do” for one last celebration with friends and family before the honeymoon begins. Cake Pulls In a wedding cake pull, small charms are placed between layers of cake, attached to ribbons that hang on the outside. Before the cake is cut, single guests each pull a ribbon to discover what their future holds: A horseshoe means “good luck,” a telephone means “good news,” a ring means “next to get married,” and so on. Second Lines You can customize your own umbrellas, handkerchiefs, and beads to wave with guests along a wedding second line parade or hand out as favors at your reception. You can even have elaborately costumed black-masking Mardi Gras Indians join the parade to honor the city's rich African American history.
