\"New<\/p>\n

Goodness, what style and beauty I have to share with you. I am joined by WWW readers Laura and Armias with their New Orleans micro wedding held at Margaret Place Hotel<\/a> on the 3rd March 2021. Their day was so many things; intimate, romantic and not to mention incredibly stylish<\/em>. Think on-trend outfits, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony and a moody, vintage colour scheme. Wow.<\/p>\n

There is so much to love, from the opulent flowers and candlelit tablescapes to the brass band, sparklers and smiles all day long. It really is a feast for the eyes and there is some fantastic advice in their wedding report below too.<\/p>\n

Olivia Yuen Photo<\/a>, thank you ever so much for sharing these sensational images of a very special celebration indeed.<\/p>\n

I found the website at the beginning on wedding planning and couldn\u2019t have been more excited! Lots of weddings featured here gave inspo, esp the blog \u2018moody jewel tones and velvet wedding ideas<\/a>\u2019!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you so much Laura and Armias for your positive words about WWW, it really is a pinch-me moment that you found so many ideas here, especially from all the way across the Atlantic. Hooray! \u2728<\/p>\n

New Orleans Micro Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

9\/23\/2019 in Bali! We were at dinner and he disappeared to only come back with a camera person, (also choked up as he\u2019d call it, I call it crying \ud83d\ude0a), he forgot his speech lol, then the ring. I was definitely surprised to say the least – I said Thank You a few times lol.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

He trusted my vision when our initial plans were to have it in my Dad\u2019s warehouse\u2026vintage, moody, burgundies, touch of industrial, chandeliers, bricks, cut glass, candles, but plans drastically changed\u2026 oh, 2020. We went from a touch of industrial to everything else!<\/p>\n

The Budget<\/h3>\n

We strived to keep it under $15k but ended up almost doubling it with last-minute changes\/details.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

I found Margaret Place on a late-night \u2018the Knot\u2019 search in August 2020 and got so excited – we booked it without even doing a walkthrough! I considered it a bonus when I realized who the events manager was – our soon to be coordinator, Becca! We originally met her during a tour of the initial venues we visited in 2019 – this was just fate. \ud83d\ude0a We hired her in December 2020 once our original planner under-delivered.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

He bought his tux from The Black Tux. He knew he wanted a navy jacket. His inspo is for and always James Bond \u2013 Daniel Craig.<\/p>\n

I went to Elizabeth Lee Bridal. I knew I wanted crepe with buttons. I started with sleeves, but the cape and veil combo was much more my style (random items that don\u2019t usually get combined, but it works!).<\/p>\n

I designed most of the details, but definitely needed help with the execution \u2013 Becca is truly amazing!<\/p>\n
