So as I said on Monday, I headed to NOLA for my friend, Katie's bachelorette party! Katie has been one of my best friends since we were 15 so it was so fun to celebrate her upcoming wedding in our favorite city, New Orleans! I estimated that I gained 100 pounds eating all the delicious food, but probably sweat it all out as it was super steamy and I was forced to wear pants at Galatoires. They are super old school so if you ever go there, remember you can't wear shorts or jeans with holes in them. I learned this the hard way when I was sent back to the hotel to change. hahah!
Oh also...if you want to feel like a Victoria's Secret supermodel, grab some girlfriends and head to Bourbon Street. I have never seen a group of girls get hit on as much as we did. I mean...married men, super creepy men, homeless men...you name it, they hit on us. It was insane. So seriously remember that if you need an ego boost.
Speaking of weddings, how shocked were y'all about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds?!?! I love that it was in Charleston and that Florence Welch sang!!! Ugh!! I really need pictures from that wedding. Apparently, Blake wore a custom Marchesa gown and she and her bridesmaids had custom Christian Louboutin shoes made for the event. DYINGGGGGGG!!!!! Another detail: The planner was Charleston wedding planner, Tara Guerard.
Here is a pic of the plantation where the wedding was held...

What they got married?! You're now my personal version of US Weekly. I rely on your for celeb news. I recall the same experience on Bourbon. I think I'd rather be ignored. Your layout is amazing!
ReplyDeletejealous in EVERY way that you got to go to NOLA. I was there 18 months ago and am itching to get back. I feel ya on the 100lbs bit. I ate (and drank) enough for six people ;) xoxo {av}
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a great time + all girls need an ego-boost now and then (even if the guys are extra creepy!) Also, your photoshop skills are fabulous!
