In this issue, we’ve included thoughtful ideas, expert advice, and inspiration to help you bring your vision to life.
Our fashion feature was photographed at the legendary Arnaud’s, a French Quarter institution known for its elegance. With its gilded details, and old-world charm, Arnaud’s provided the perfect setting to showcase modern bridal looks with classic New Orleans charm.
We also explore the season’s standout trends, from gowns and accessories to beauty and skincare strategies that help brides feel their best. Our writers have pulled together guidance on venues, transportation, and the best spots in and around the city to capture engagement photos that feel both personal and memorable.
We dive into the role music can play throughout the entire wedding experience, not just during the ceremony or reception, but in moments you may not have thought about, like welcoming guests at cocktail hour or setting the tone for your getaway.
Our cocktail and culinary features focus on smaller moments that can have a big impact. First, our guide to low-ABV cocktails offers creative options for couples who want to serve drinks that are festive and flavorful, without packing a high-proof punch. We also shine a spotlight on the often-overlooked farewell brunch. It’s the last official gathering of the weekend and a chance to slow down, connect with guests, and say a proper goodbye before heading off into married life.
Finally, we highlight honeymoon destinations designed with animal lovers in mind — places that offer opportunities to connect with wildlife in meaningful ways.
And as always, we feature beautiful local weddings, aiming to bring you inspiration that’s useful and exciting.
Cheers!
