What A Wonderful World

With Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World” lyrics as our inspiration, we styled this elegant, New Orleans-style wedding feature for our Spring 2015 Issue. From a wedding cake made of beignets to Armstrong’s original sheet music featured on the main bar at Club XLIV and so many musical details, this editorial will show you how to treat your guests to a true New Orleans themed event with all the nuances the city has to offer.
