When a Junebug ties the knot, our entire team celebrates! We also cry while looking at our beloved team member marrying the love of her life, swoon over the insanely awesome decor, and gush about every detail for months after the big day. So, as you can imagine, hitting “publish” on Nicole and Oodie’s New Orleans elopement has got us all in our feels.
Nicole is our Executive Editor here at Junebug Weddings. As you can imagine, she quite literally could write a template for “how to elope in the most badass way possible,” but it was more fun to pull it off herself with the help of Emily Aitken Events and Oodie, of course! Oodie and Nicole’s wedding day was not only full of lots of love and style, but creative, sentimental ideas. We love how these two read letters from loved ones on the morning-of and that they fit in a game of gin rummy (a staple in their relationship) before the big “I do.” Maggie Grace Photography and Summer Leigha Photo captured these emotive moments with precision, creativity, and honesty. We dare you not to tear up at least once while looking through them! If you’ve ever dreamed of a New Orleans elopement, or anywhere for that matter, we know you’ll be inspired by Nicole and Oodie’s colorful, mid-century day!
