Adore Bridal 2021

Audubon Park with immediate family only (one aunt looked on from afar with binoculars). The group then took pedicabs back to the bride's home for dinner and dancing. As a huge surprise for Nancy, dear family friends hired a band, ordered masks, and spread the word by mouth that there would be an impromptu champagne toast on the front lawn for extended family, friends, and neighbors. Naturally, a second line formed and as beautifully expressed by Nancy, "We have never felt so surrounded by love." Because Nancy was traveling to New Orleans by air as little as possible, designer Suzanne Perron agreed to finish her dress the day before the wedding. It was perfect. Floral designer Kim Starr Wise created a romantic and elegant setting at the bride's home with candlelight, garden roses, and delphinium. Music was provided by the DJ, Raj Smoove, and the newlyweds and their families danced the night away under the twinkling stars.
