WEDDING WEEKEND
MINIMONY nola IN
Multi-day weddings have been common for thousands of years and I thought, why aren’t more local couples doing that here? For this editorial, I wanted to show how you can plan an intimate wedding weekend experience with your nearest and dearest in our beautiful city and embrace our culture and nuances. It’s more important than ever to “support local” and “support small business” so we called in some of our favorite local and small businesses to inspire you. - Rena Sweeney, Alchemy Events CREDITS
