For today’s tried and true New Orleans wedding, captured by Clary Pfeiffer Photography, included everything from a champagne wall to a Second Line with nearly 100 of the couples guests parading through the streets! Held at the Il Mercato, the couple tied the knot, surrounded by friends and family and overflowing florals by Giverny Design, all planned by Ruby and Pearl Events. Take a look below and grab a pen to add ‘champagne tower’ to your wedding to-do list!

FromClary Pfeiffer Photography …Laura & Kevin’s destination NOLA wedding was a mix of fun and classic – the couple celebrated with a Second Line parade for their guests welcome party and a Champagne Tower for the wedding reception after their vows in the rain.

From the Bride…We said “I do” in New Orleans, Louisiana. Long before our wedding day, we felt a connection to the city as a couple — and now having begun our marriage there: New Orleans will forever hold a grip on our hearts.

We welcomed guests from over the country (and world) to partake in an extended weekend with us in the Big Easy. We kicked off celebrations Friday for our rehearsal dinner, followed by a Second Line parade through the French Quarter: which is a quintessential tradition in New Orleans. Nearly one hundred of our wedding guests paraded through the city’s historic streets to the sound of brass musicians the evening before the main event on Saturday.

Our wedding day was a beautiful, magical blur for Kevin and me — surrounded by our loving parents, family, friends, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and pastor from my hometown. The Garden District provided a truly special setting for our celebration, which felt romantic, lush, and fun.
