Brides of March - NOLA 2025
Enjoy Your Special Day - March 16th 1:00pm
HISTORY
About Us.
The Brides of March is a pun on the term Ides of March and is a parody of weddings in western culture. At its most basic component, it's part bar crawl and part street theater while wearing a white thrift store wedding dress.
Of course, we have to add a New Orleans flare to the event by adding a second line with all the traditional trappings of a band, napkins, and umbrellas. We also celebrate with a garter belt toss, a bouquet toss, and a high-heel race. Brides will also have the opportunity to win prizes in various categories.
REGISTRATION
Why?
Registering serves 4 essential purposes,
1) it provides us a way to collect the money and be transparent about how much money was collected and where it was spent.
2) it allows those who register to vote on the charities we donate to.
3) it helps with planning and ensures we have enough food, second-line supplies, souvenirs, and who qualifies for drink specials.
4) it provides us a way to contact you about updates to the event, such as where cheap dresses are available, how to determine your dress size, and the bar crawl timeline.
What if I don't have the money?
We will not exclude anyone from participating due to finances, but we do encourage people to contribute what they can at the registration table at our first stop.
COST
How much?
$20 in advance $25 the day of
As part of your registration, you will receive a commemorative garter belt and bracelet, a button with BoM logo, and 7 discount drink tickets.
Although this event is lots of fun for the brides, it does cost money to pull it off. We have to pay for a photographer, the second-line band, the police escorts, city permits, etc.
As the event grows, so does our support for the community. We will accomplish this by giving back to the community through donations to local charities.

How far in advance should I hire an event planner?
It's advisable to hire an event planner as soon as you have a clear idea of your event date and general concept. Some popular event planners may book up quickly, especially during peak seasons.
