More Than a Magazine

NOW Weddings is more than a collection of beautiful images. We are a community built around creativity, collaboration, and celebrating love in all its forms.

Our team works alongside planners, venues, photographers, florists, designers, entertainers, beauty professionals, and countless other wedding experts to highlight the talent found throughout New Orleans, the Gulf Coast, and beyond.

Through our magazine, digital platforms, bridal shows, editorial productions, and Wedding Krewe community, we help couples find inspiration, and connect with the professionals who can bring that inspiration to life.
