ON LOCATION: New Orleans, Louisiana By Tara Bradley
Mardis Gras beads, Cajun cuisine and an incredible jazz scene aren't all that make up New Orleans. NOLA-bound brides will discover streets lined with intricate wrought-iron balconies, homes painted in pale greens und bold magentas, arched doorways leading to private gardens, and welcoming residents who love to show off their city. This American treasure is ideal for fun-loving couples who want to throw a party to remember.
Where to eat: ... Thanks to an in-house boucherie (butcher shop) and rustic Cajun creations from buzz-worthy chef Donald Link, getting a table at Cochon Restaurant can be a challenge. Skip the crowds and treat your group to a custom-created tasting menu inside its new private event space, Calcasieu.
