Our weekend with Laura and John started at their Rehearsal Dinner at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. If you have never seen the Victory Belles, you have to check them out! The museum itself is such a neat venue, but listening and watching the Victory Belles perform just transported us back in time...ahhh we digress. Laura and John's family and friends told their love story through a series of both hilarious and tearjerking speeches that had us laughing and crying along. The following day brought the excitement of their absolutely gorgeous wedding full of beautiful and meaningful details. John is a musician, so a few of the couple's musician friends performed at their ceremony, and the songs were phenomenal! The couple specifically chose Latrobe's on Royal because Laura is an architect and loved the beauty and history of the timeless venue. Wonderful time working with the fabulous team of vendors below...cheers to Laura and John!

Laura was all smiles putting on her gorgeous wedding gown.
These two were so sweet with each other during their first look.
We were kind of obsessed with Laura's dress...the lines were a perfect reflection of her beauty and passion for architecture.
One of the best moments of the wedding day...
First dance smiles...
Second Line kisses are the best kisses!
Groom prep is so important to understand the complete story of our couple's wedding day.
Ahhhhh the amazing light!!
What unique favors: individual trees for guests to bring home and plant in the ground.
Melissa's Fine Pastries did an amazing job mimicking the lines of Laura's dress on the three beautiful wedding cakes.
“We met in college (LSU) in our Sophomore year. We’re actually from the same hometown (Alexandria, LA), but had never met. We realized we’ve actually lived within a mile of each other almost our entire lives from our childhood home to our dorms/apartments in college.

We love these fun printed bar napkins.
