We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening for our second New Orleans Bridal Show of 2024 at The Jefferson Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, September 24th. EVENT HIGHLIGHTS At the entrance to the event, guests were greated with refreshing beverages courtesy of Vintage Vineaux Mobile Bar and ELEKTRA Cosmetics’ Signature Glitter Buffet Experience. Once inside, guests met with wedding professionals who were showcasing their businesses at the event.
