A clean, editorial-inspired Nola wedding topped off with a parade

New Orleans clean editorial wedding

Molly and George’s wedding was the perfect mix of elegance and New Orleans soul. The two live out of state but chose the city for its soul and sense of place. It’s where they fell in love with each other and the idea of a wedding that felt like home. Set in the heart of the city, their day embraced everything that makes it magical—from historic architecture to the energy of a Second Line parade that had guests dancing through the streets. Soft blue bridesmaid dresses, lush garden-inspired florals, and a glowing, candlelit reception made the whole day - planned with the help of Toast Entertainment - feel romantic and effortless. Every detail felt personal, thoughtful, and true to the couple. Shot on film by Lexie Vaccaro Photography, the images carried a softness and nostalgia that matched the feeling of the day.

The wedding took place at the Degas House, a historic gem in the Esplanade Ridge neighborhood of New Orleans.

Delphiniums: The perfect blue floral

The ceremony flowers by Forage were a dreamy mix of tall blue delphiniums, calla lilies, and wild seasonal stems, arranged to feel lush and slightly undone, like an overgrown garden.

A standout moment came during the Second Line parade, a classic New Orleans tradition that turned the energy all the way up with music and movement flowing through the streets thanks to the Young Pinstripe Brass Band.
