Danika Gown in a NOLA Wedding | Adrienne + Ryan

The Academy of the Sacred Heart and Felicity Church set the scene for Adrienne and Ryan’s New Orleans wedding — a day full of family, lifelong friends, and the unmistakable spirit of laissez les bons temps rouler. Her nieces made an unforgettable flower girl quintet, her bridesmaids, her oldest and dearest. Music took center stage at the reception, alongside a beloved NOLA tradition: the cake pull, where ribbons hidden inside the cake each conceal a charm foretelling a little fortune. Adrienne handed the honor to her little nieces, making the moment as sweet as the cake itself.

A Magazine Street Love Story

Adrienne’s search for a timeless gown led her down Magazine Street to Wedding Belles, where she fell for our Danika. The tailored fit-and-flare‘s glamour and quiet elegance suited her perfectly, as did the custom pleated straps that made her dress entirely her own.
