At Scriptura, a letterpress studio with five presses and six in-house designers, invitations come in a number of New Orleans themes, ranging from a circa 1865 New Orleans map used as an envelope liner to invitations with hand- drawn oysters on pearlescent paper. The motifs can be used throughout the wedding, on everything from the save-the- date card to custom go-cups.

"Go-cups are always popular, because they don’t have those other places," Mortillaro says.

Cake pulls are another tradition that locals may not realize is endemic to New Orleans. The bridal party gathers around the wedding cake and each unmarried member tugs a ribbon that extends from beneath the layers, revealing charms with symbolic meanings.
