Vintage Glam in NOLA | Stephanie | Ace Hotel New Orleans
Sometimes my brides are so freaking cool - Stephanie is just that! When I walked in the room for her bridal prep (with a coffee for the bride from downstairs bc its my FAV coffee in the city!) it was like I was coming in to see an old friend. I could not have asked for a more laid back bride who put so much effort into her details without stressing - my kind of lady!
Everything about this wedding was so very personal and detailed, from the styling to the flowers, all with the help of her closest friends.
Wise words from our bride :
What is one thing you wish you would have known pre-wedding?
How great I’d feel day of. There’s so much stress leading up, but it was smooth sailing and happiness after the first look!
