At the heart of New Orleans’ Garden District is Il Mercato, a venue steeped in European charm. With its Spanish colonial architecture, private courtyard, and tangerine trees, it was the perfect canvas for an editorial that reimagines timeless elegance with a fresh, fashion-forward perspective.
This inspirational shoot brought together refined textures and intentional details. The bride’s blue, sculptural gown from I Do Bridal Couture, which she wore on her actual wedding day in Italy, added quiet drama to every frame. Her husband, Luis, wore a classic Ralph Lauren Purple Label tuxedo, embodying a tailored sophistication that felt both modern and enduring.
RGA Floral Atelier designed lush, layered arrangements that filled the air with romance, blending soft garden roses with climbing vines to echo Il Mercato’s historic architecture. Paume Design Co. set the tone with custom invitations that paired old-world typography with contemporary minimalism.
Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate fête or a statement celebration, this editorial serves as a love letter to weddings that feel intentional, personal, and unmistakably stylish.
