N.O.W | NOWWeddingMagazine.com | 9
Bon Appétit IF THERE IS NO ON-SITE CATERER at your reception location, the task will fall to you to find the perfect catering company for your wedding. Do your research, accept recommendations and be sure to taste-test! A full-service caterer provides linen services, waiters and table service. Choose one who will listen to your ideas and help plan a menu for a delightful, memorable event.

n May we see a menu and package samples? n Will you be at the reception? Who will be assisting? How will your staff be dressed? n How many servers do we need for a seated/buffet reception? What is the estimated cost per person for each? What does that include? n How much floor space do you need for preparation, serving and bar service? n Are you licensed/insured for bar service? n What is the bar fee? What does that include? How many bars and bartenders can you provide? n What amount of liquor do you recommend based on our guest list? n Will we be charged for unopened bottles/can those be returned? n What bar supplies do you provide? n Can you provide cash/open bar services? n What time will the bars close? n When will we need to finalize our menu? n When do you need a final guest count? n Can you provide special dietary food? n What are the taxes and gratuities? Are there any additional fees? n How much set up time do you need? Are you full-service? n How is the food presented? Do you provide any decor for buffet tables? n Are we able to do a tasting? If yes, when? n What are your payment terms? n What is your cancellation policy?
don’t forget the cocktails Make it Personal The cocktail hour is a wonderful time for couples to infuse their own unique personalities into the precursor to the more formal reception. Everything from the food to the beverage to the décor of the cocktail hour can be customized to reflect the couple and set the stage for the rest of the night. Signature drinks can encompass anything from a favorite cocktail of the couple to a special concoction with a story attached. Consider printing the signature cocktail recipe and story behind the featured signature drink right on coasters or beverage napkins!

THEIR STORY Terrion and Frederick went to the same high school in New Orleans but the two, participating in cheerleading and marching band respectively, never crossed paths while there. In May of 2015, Terrion sent Frederick a friend request on Facebook. “I did not recognize her at all,” he says, so he started a chat in Messenger and asked Terrion how they knew each other. She replied, “High School!” The conversation flowed and eventually Frederick asked if he could get to know Terrion better. “As you can see, she said, ‘Yes!’” he shares. On their third anniversary, Frederick planned a romantic dinner at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse. For the first surprise of the evening, Frederick hired a limousine to transport them to the restaurant. “She was filled with so much emotion and joy, you could see it on her face,” shares Frederick. But this was just the beginning. As they arrived at the restaurant, Frederick prepared himself for the big moment. “The driver opened up my door and I exited and gathered myself, as I was about to ask the most important question ever in my life, to the woman I love the most,” he says. As Terrion exited the limo, Frederick began to get down on one knee. “She saw me and she instantly began to say, ‘I know you lying!’” says Frederick. “I knelt down, with the ring in hand and attempted to talk, but I was fumbling my words. I then asked, ‘Will you marry me?’ and she replied, ‘YES!’”

Terrion Lomax & Frederick Smith
THE BEST GIFT JUNE 21, 2021 | NEW ORLEANS, LA PHOTOGRAPHY BY CALVIN GAVION, JR

THE WEDDING(S) The couple were
scheduled to get married on June 20, 2020 with over 150 friends and family in attendance. When gathering sizes were limited to help curb the pandemic, Terrion and Frederick thought they wouldn’t be able to get married at all. “Fortunately, we were able to have an intimate ceremony, where we only invited 10-15 people,” shares Frederick. After their micro wedding and honeymoon, the couple contacted their wedding planner, Tenisha Keller of Chocolate Bunnie Events, and discussed their options for their dream wedding. “We were allowed to push everything back to 2021 and chose the date of June 19th (Juneteenth),” says Frederick.

As the new date drew closer, their plans were again threatened, but this time by weather; a tropical depression had formed in the Gulf of Mexico days before their wedding. “I immediately began to ask God to shift it, have it cease to exist and allow our day of union to be one of sunshine, no rain and excitement,” says Frederick. The day before the wedding, the forecast had the storm clearing the area just in time for Frederick and Terrion to say “I do” in beautiful, sunny weather. “That was the best gift,” says Frederick. “Covid did not stop us, nor was Mother Nature going to stop us. I was elated because I prayed for a day like the day of our wedding and God gave me that to give my wife the wedding of her dreams. God smiled down on us for our wedding day.”

THEIR STORY Lance and Meredith first met in high school but lost touch when they both left for college. “We found out sometime in 2011 that his first wife’s family had the tickets next to ours in Tiger Stadium,” says Meredith. “Sadly, his first wife passed away 6 months after their daughter, Caroline, was born. He still remains close to her family and was in their seats with his older brother for the Georgia game in 2018, which is when we talked the entire game about [how] we had both been in Disney World a month before, about a week apart.” “I was supposed to meet up with a friend after that game to watch the Astros play,” shares Meredith, “but I went with Lance instead to watch that game and get a drink. We’ve been together ever since.” Lance proposed in the summer of 2020 at Meredith’s apartment. He was there to pick her up for their first dinner out at a restaurant since the pandemic started. Afterwards, the couple celebrated their engagement with their families at Ringside at Sullivan’s.

about the collection + collaboration ROMANCE DRIPS FROM EVERY BEAUTIFUL wedding dress detail as luxury fashion house Galia Lahav releases a capsule GALA drop in collaboration with Tali Photography. Designers Galia Lahav and Sharon Sever fuse inspiration with Tali, as their mutual love of the confident, well-traveled, and fashionable bride leads the way. The result of their collaboration is four romantic GALA gowns that display the ultimate inspiration of style-meets-beauty. Galia Lahav and Sharon Sever felt a personal connection to Tali’s work in the same way brides are swept away by Tali’s romantic images.

close, traveling to weddings, from grandiose events to the most intimate of celebrations. Tali has a deep connection to what it means to be a bride, knowing each bride’s style and preferences, while creating beauty through the camera lens. Inspired by the three graces of mythology, this capsule collection aspires to bestow the GL spirit to brides by channeling joy, elegance, youth, and beauty. At the center of it all is the underlying theme of romance. “The choice of materials, colors, and silhouettes was clear from the very first time we have discussed the idea of having a collaboration with Tali, it would significantly demonstrate
a mood we both share, it would be the unity of design and art, it would be ROMANCE,” adds Sharon Sever. Tali explains, “Inspired by our brides, we created a collection for the ethereal goddess which gives her a romantic, feminine, sensual and a little je ne sais quoi style. The gowns are made of carefully chosen fabrics combining handmade skills, and makes the bride feel beautiful and self-confident.” To design wedding gowns and to capture stunning wedding photos is to share a similar creative fantasy. This GALA x Tali drop of four romantic wedding dresses is available exclusively at selected Galia Lahav retailers worldwide.
“TRUE” BY GALIA LAHAV Princess ball gown dress, with a structured and tailored corset top, with multiple cutouts and draped panels. Featuring voluminous lantern sleeves, which is joined off the shoulder to a pleated strap. The corset meets the voluminous skirt at a point and emphasises a side slit. NOWWeddingMagazine.com | 47

THEIR STORY “Drake and I met in college at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette when we were both staff members of an extended orientation program,” shares Carly. “After we returned from a weekend retreat, I asked him to be my date for an upcoming sorority event and the rest is history!” Five years later, Carly and Drake were on their family’s annual holiday bar crawl, stopping in at various New Orleans hotels to see the Christmas lights and sample cocktails. This particular time, the festivities started at a new location. “We went to the rooftop bar of the Pontchartrain Hotel called Hot Tin that has a beautiful view of the city and the Superdome and he asked me if we should take a picture, and I said ‘of course,’” says Carly. “And then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.” Drake’s entire family was waiting downstairs at the hotel to celebrate with them and more family and friends joined in the fun at the next location. “It [was] the best crawl to date!” says Carly.
