From tiered king cakes to elaborate second lines, Baton Rouge brides are letting the good times roll on their special days with personalized elements that bring Mardi Gras flavor and the spirit of Louisiana culture to venues from the Old Governor’s Mansion to Punta Cana. In preparation for Fat Tuesday, we’ve compiled snapshots of some of our favorite Carnival-inspired celebrations over the last year.
