Athena & Brian’s multi-day celebration was a whirlwind of roses, sparkles, and romance, with each event bringing its own unique style while celebrating their cultures and love for one another. The weekend kicked off with a New Orleans brunch at The Chicory, complete with the sounds of Kinfolk Brass Band, followed by a beautiful Mehndi celebration. The next morning, the couple exchanged vows beneath a lush, garden-inspired floral installation in the courtyard of The Ritz-Carlton. That evening, family and friends gathered once more for a grand reception filled with soft pink and ivory blooms, abundant greenery, glowing candlelight, and touches of gold. From beginning to end, Athena & Brian’s wedding weekend was the perfect blend of New Orleans charm, meaningful tradition, and timeless romance.
