There’s always something happening in the wedding world. We’ve pulled together a list of bridal events around New Orleans and beyond.
Trends:
Social media is a source for good bridal intel, from tips from couples who have already gone through with their wedding day to things that are trending, from fashion to food and beyond.
Right now, we are loving when couples think outside the box for items like wedding favors. While we love a koozie or Mardi Gras cup, it’s always nice to think more personally. The latest instance we noticed is a couple who hired a calligrapher with an engraving tool to engrave a champagne coup glass for each guest. While it may not seem like the best idea, especially in a party town like New Orleans, to hand a bunch of people who are drinking glass, this favor is not only something guests can reuse repeatedly, but it can also be used for a large champagne toast to finish the night’s celebration. It’s practical (who doesn’t need a champagne glass?), sentimental and unexpected.
News:
PJ’s Coffee announced the return of its Southern Wedding Cake drinks. Almond-vanilla wedding cakes are a Southern staple and PJ’s brings their version of the flavor to hot, iced and frozen drinks. Great when temperatures skyrocket, grab an iced Southern Wedding Cake coffee before you start your wedding day prep.
National online destination for pet parents, Chewy, recently announced its Frisco brand launched a wedding collection for furry friends. When done strategically, having your pet as a part of your wedding day can make for some adorable memories, and the new wedding collection includes dresses, tuxes, collars, bandanas and more. Frisco is also hosting a chance to win a VIP wedding package through Chewy. The winner will receive, among other things, a custom wardrobe from the collection and a $5,000 Chewy eGift card.
