Singing, succulents, and LEDs at this musical light-up wedding
Adina and Sean’s musical light-up wedding was a sight to see (that we wish we could have HEARD as well!). Adina is Jewish and Sean is Unitarian, so for the ceremony, they mixed and matched some elements of each. They also met in choir, so having their musical friends and family sing for and with them was a given. Their guests sang the wedding party down the aisle, with choir members providing harmony. A quartet of family and longtime friends sang a traditional blessing to them during the service. And Sean and his a capella group serenaded the bride at dinner. So much singing! So much awesome!
Don’t miss the succulent place cards/favors, light-up shoes, tie, and sequins, and rockstar-inspired wedding dress…

Don’t miss the traditional Jamaican dishes, centerpieces of books of poetry, boxes of tea, and teapots filled with locally-sourced flowers, cotton candy machine, and tea favors.
How we decided which wedding traditions to uphold or scrap
Sorting through wedding traditions is a Sisyphean task. American wedding traditions are a conglomeration of hundreds of different cultures, not to mention the endless traditions from our individual backgrounds. Traditions, especially ones associated with major life events, connect us with our past, reinforce our cultural values, and hold our communities together. We want to make sure we include elements of both of our families’ cultures, but how do we figure out what to include and what not to include? Here’s how…
Gritty, rock & roll, and HOT (literally) New Orleans wedding
“We wanted something that felt authentically New Orleans, without resorting to cliches: gritty, sultry, funky, and FUN.” This literally hot (like 95+ degrees) was also totally hot in looks, too. The bride’s dress and cape will slay you. This is the type of New Orleans party that we love: rock and roll, dance all night, and authentically them.
