New Orleans, New Year's Eve

We love this wedding out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Michelle and Eric were married on New Year's Eve with a retro, jazzy flair just perfect for the city. They held the ceremony in the stunning wood-beamed rotunda of the Ogden Museum's Patrick F. Taylor Library. Simple, warm candlelight was all the decor needed in such a grand ceremony site.

The reception, ingeniously held in an area of the library undergoing construction, utilized the exposed brick and wooden rafters to create a jazz club effect. Guests rang in the New Year while dancing to a brass band underneath festive strings of lights. 

Bride Michelle styled herself in a custom short retro dress. We love her art-deco shoes, her heirloom rings, and her amazing hair-do. And, of course, we love their BDT Twisted Oak guestbook!
