French Quarter of New Orleans Wedding with bride in turquoise bolero

Today's wedding of Seth and Jen is absolutely gorgeous. It took place in the heart of the french quarter in New Orleans and was beautifully photographed by Brett of Siegel Thurston Photography. Now living in San Diego, Seth and Jen had met in New Orleans in their college days. So, there was no question that they would be having their wedding in the city that's full of history. They even did their own florals by picking them up from a flower shop. And, wait until you see the bride in her turquoise bolero - she looks absolutely stunning. I love it!!!!!! {PS: I think I found the etsy shop where it's from, will check on that and post an update}

Update: the designer of the turquoise bolero has been found :) It's designed by Mary and Angelika in Tel-Aviv, Israel on etsy.

And, as Brett Siegel writes . . . "In true New Orleans style they also hired the coolbone Jazz band to play the wedding, Second line, and reception."

Eye Candy Friday : v48 {turquoise, silver and white table setting)

With Pantone unveiling turquoise as the color of the year for 2010, I thought this table setting from Eddie Ross was a perfect use of the color. I love how the turquoise doesn't overpower this table setting, as turquoise is a rather bold color and can easily become too much.
