Piercing Party

When celebrating your nuptials, why not invite your bridal party to a piercing party at the newly opened Rowan on Magazine Street? The female-founded boutique offers piercings performed by licensed nurses using safe, nickel-free and hypoallergenic earrings. Choose from cute locally inspired earrings such as a fleur-de-lis, crescent moon or NOLA stud; animals such as dragonflies, ducks and snakes; birthstone studs; hoops; cuffs; threaders; and much more. heyrowan.com

Flower Power 

Destiny Pinson, local founder and creator of Doris Ione — a flower and décor company lovingly named after her two grandmothers, Doris Jean and Eleanor Ione — added flower parties to her menu of services, as well as workshops. Both are fun options for bachelorette parties and bridal showers. Choose from private or group floristry classes — held either at your home, chosen venue or Doris Ione’s studio — and create beautiful  bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, floral crowns, home decor arrangements and more. dorisione.com
