NOLA wedding

This past weekend, we traveled to New Orleans for my cousin's wedding.  
The weekend was an absolute blast.  Everything was thought out and perfectly done.  
Oh and the weather was AMAZING!  Saturday it was 80 degrees and sunny! 


Here is a photo recap... 
Warning...LOTS of photos!  Thanks to my cousin, Claire, for letting me steal some of her pics! 

Adorable welcome boxes in the hotel rooms



The Rehearsal and Rehearsal dinner were both on Thursday night because the Catholic Church had mass on Friday night.
Me and the Bride at the Rehearsal.
My dress is from Ruche and is not maternity.  I just went up in size.

Menu.  It was DELISH! 

My family! David didn't come in town until the next day because he had to work :(


On Friday, we had a Bridal Luncheon at Muriel's



Cake with charms.  I got the mirror which means I like to have a good time.  Yes, yes I do! 

This dress is also not maternity.  It was big and flow-y enough to fit my belly! 

All the cousins



4 original girl cousins and Granny
Bride and Flower girl

At our bridal showers, all the girl cousins receive a cookbook filled with hand written, family loved, recipes.  

Friday night, we had a "Meet and Greet" at the Ritz. 


Afterwards, Eleanor made her first appearance on Bourbon Street! 

Granny's brief moment on Bourbon! 

Saturday was absolutely beautiful in NOLA so David and I ventured to the Audubon Zoo for some fun. 



Ready for the wedding! 
This dress is maternity and is from Asos.com.  
It was unbelievably comfortable as the whole thing was stretchy.  

Mom and Drake, the Ring Bearer!

Thats one cool Granny! 


Wedding Favors were Macrons from Sucre! MMMMMM......







NOLA tradition of a 2nd Line! 



and Finally, me and my Handsome Date!
