Hope & Jack’s Joy‑Filled November Wedding at Common House

Hope and Jack’s November wedding was the kind of celebration that reminds you why people fall in love with New Orleans. Equal parts elegant, heartfelt, and wildly fun, their day blended timeless style with the unmistakable spirit of the city — from a classic Ritz getting‑ready suite to a lively Second Line that swept everyone into the streets.

Their morning began at The Ritz, where Hope and her bridesmaids shared a slow, sweet start to the day. Laughter echoed through the room as final touches were made, and the anticipation of what was ahead filled the air. Meanwhile, Jack and his groomsmen prepared with the same mix of nerves and excitement, setting the tone for a day overflowing with joy.

The ceremony and reception took place at Common House, a venue that perfectly matched their modern, soulful aesthetic. Surrounded by family and friends, Hope and Jack exchanged vows in a space filled with warm light and thoughtful details. Weddings by Gillian brought every element together seamlessly, ensuring the day flowed with ease and intention.

Cry Baby Florals transformed the venue with lush, expressive arrangements that added texture and romance to every corner. And throughout the day, Olivia Yuen Photography captured each moment with her signature artistry — from quiet glances to the biggest bursts of celebration.

One of the most unforgettable parts of the day came immediately after the ceremony: a spirited Second Line that brought everyone to their feet. Brass, movement, and pure happiness filled the streets as Hope and Jack led the way, hand in hand, surrounded by cheering guests.

As the night continued, the couple surprised everyone with a newlywed outfit change and fresh haircuts, stepping back into the reception with a whole new look and the same contagious energy. Later, they hopped on stage to toss hats and beads into the crowd — a moment that felt like a joyful nod to the city they love.

The celebration ended with a dreamy bubble send‑off, the couple slipping into a vintage car as guests cheered and bubbles floated through the night air. It was the perfect closing scene to a day overflowing with personality, movement, and meaning.

Hope and Jack’s wedding was more than a celebration — it was an experience, a reflection of who they are, and a reminder of the magic that happens when tradition, creativity, and community come together.
