Curator’s statement

New Orleans nails the bachelorette party scene with its electric nightlife and cultural vibrancy, but it’s also got a serene side that’s perfect for some downtime. After dancing to live jazz on Frenchmen Street and soaking up the spirited atmosphere of Bourbon Street, we can unwind with tranquil garden district tours or relax on a peaceful steamboat ride along the Mississippi. The city's food is a festivity in itself, with indulgent beignets and hearty gumbo topping our must-eat list. And whether we’re toasting on a balcony in the French Quarter or finding solace in one of the city's quiet courtyards, we’re making those flawless memories that’ll sparkle just as much as the wedding day.
