 Outdoor weddings can have even more pretty potential than more traditional, indoor weddings, and having the ceremony somewhere other than the traditional church setting opens up a whole lot of options for brides and grooms to play around with. If you're leaning more towards sunshine and grass than painted ceilings and a gilded altar, you've come to the right place. New Orleans is absolutely packed with courtyards, parks, squares and waterfronts that are perfect for weddings. Whether you want to be tucked away and private or right in the middle of everything, boy, do we have the place for you! (More)
