Of all the cities to be married in, New Orleans seems hard to top in terms of fun! We’d been itching to run one from the Big Easy and are thrilled to share this relaxed celebration that seems to perfectly combine Southern elegance with a playful nod to the city. Jen and Seth DIYed the flowers the day of the wedding and hired an incredible band, the Coolbone Jazz Band, to play throughout the day. After the garden ceremony, Coolbone led the bride, groom and guests around town on a “second line,” a New Orleans parade tradition done for many special events, including weddings. Such fun!

I love when couples can effortlessly create a perfect blend of old and new. When you see it, you think it’s so easy, but much like designing the perfect room, I think it takes a special touch to make it all come together so seamlessly. Kelsey and John combined a love of books and music, added a dash of family heirloom and tradition, and topped it all off with just the right touch of modern to keep it all fresh. All in all, so much to love, from the simple vintage book arrangements to the vintage jacket, the pit stop at the bar to the Norwegian Kransekake wedding cake.

Great idea for location. The shot of the reception second to end is awesome.
