Tree of Life Ceremony

Chanel and Navid exchanged vows under the tree of life, a massive 300-year-old oak tree in New Orleans's Audubon Park. “We had spent all day with our wedding planner looking at ceremony options. Then, toward the end of the day, she casually mentioned this giant oak tree,” Chanel says. “Immediately we asked her to take us there, and it just so happened to be located in my favorite spot to go on a run, Audubon Park.” With the breathtaking tree as their backdrop, naturally not much decor was needed. The couple decorated their outdoor ceremony with branches, leaves and wine barrels topped with lush arrangements.
