On a crisp October day, love filled the air — literally — for the wedding of Lisa Picone and Anthony Love. With a name like Love, this wedding was bound to be infused with romance. The St. Louis Cathedral made for a romantic, classic New Orleans backdrop and the Guardians of the Flame Mardi Gras Indians added the lagniappe local flavor. The bride looked stunning in a Maggie Sottero gown from Pearl’s Place, while her maids lined in purple designs from Jim Hjelm collection.
After a second line with Jazzmen Brass Band and the Guardians of the Flame from the church, the couple and their guests partied down at the Harrah’s Hotel. It was an affair to remember filled with lots of Love.
