A NOLA Love Story (New Orleans, LA)
Q: Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette? Did you incorporate any cultural or religious traditions in any part of your day?
A: I wanted a very neutral color palette. Simple and Clean. The reception venue was chosen for its history, it was once apart of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and was broken off and ship to New Orleans. Can you think of a more romantic setting? We also incorporate our culture With the signature second-line band.

A: W have known each other most of our lives. Our two older sisters were life long best friends and one day after I graduated college we connected. It’s all history from there. The proposal was an experience. Lol. He had a plan of doing it at a wine tasting(I looovee wine) but me not being the most social person, didn’t want to go out that night. So he had to make alternate plans. We were out for a moment and he had our home decorated with rose petals and candles and got on one knee. It was intimate and sweet! just how I would have wanted it.
