Solange Knowles stylish NOLA wedding blows us away

BEHOLD THE FABULOUS WEDDING PARTY OF SOLANGE PIAGET KNOWLES

Whenever Solange (28) does anything we should always expect that it will be unique and stylish. This weekend ( NOV 14-16) Solange wed her long time boyfriend "video director" Alan Ferguson (51) in good ole New Orleans. New Orleans is definitely a city that fits Solo's big and soulful personality and has been her home for a while now.

The couple kicked off their wedding weekend Friday night with a screening of Diana Ross's movie " Mahogany " at Indywood Cinema. The lovely couple watched Mahogany together on their first date and wanted to share this special connection with their friends and family. Before watching Mahogany they shared a documentary about their love for one another with their guest.

Solange and Alan kicked off their weekend looking chic 

SOLO is having a blast. 

The fabulous couple arrived to the site of the wedding gracefully riding bikes. Solange wore a gorgeous ivory caped jumpsuit by Stephane Rolland and definitely showed us what she was working it. Check out that amazing cleavage she has on display.

Pure Happiness

What a lovely couple

Blue Ivy is rocking her fro

I am in love with Solange's pre wedding look, from her powerful Afro to the jumpsuit to the fact that she ditch a limo and rolled up to her wedding location on a bike with her hubby. Who does such a thing. That would be Solange Knowles. I expected to see her turn heads and yes indeed she did. I think she inspired Bey to let Blue Blue rock a picked out fro as well * I better not hear any nasty comments about her fro*

Check out the Stephane Rolland jumpsuit on the runway

The wedding was held at Maringy Opera House in New Orleans and


Her guest wore all white and everyone looked amazing especially Beyonce and Mama Tina * LAWD* those family genes are nothing to be played with.

Solange rocked a Humberto Leon for Kenzo floor-lento gown *with another cape attached* along with Stuart Weitzman shoes. She also wore gold bracelets by Jill for Lady Gray. Overall Solange looked absolutely amazing. She embodied what it means to be a queen and I loved her for that. She didn't conform to modern day wedding traditions but instead chose to add her style and flavor to the ceremony and achieved amazing results. Alan's suit was a Lanvin design.

Solange's Bridal party featured her Fierce big sister Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter, her mother Tina Beyince Knowles, cousin Angela Beyince, singer Janelle Monet, and video director Melina Matsoukas. The women in the photo give off this I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR type of vibe and it intrigues me. I love the intense looks in the ladies eyes * all except Janelle Monet* This bridal portrait will go down in history as one to be remembered. Y'all already know everybody about to try and recreate this photo so brace yourself.

Alan is a video director and a native of Richmond Virginia. He directed JayZ's primetime music and video and both Party and Dance 4 You for Beyonce.

Mama Tina showing us that she still has it

Tina Knowles also was a show stopper at Solange's wedding and showed us that she's doing the damn thang at the fabulous age of 60. It's so obviously why Beyonce and Solange sparkle the way that they do * check out the woman who carried them*

Beyonce was spotted in a form fitted dress designed by Ronny Kobo it was his Maggie Lasso Diamonds Dress ($349)

Next up you will find some behind scene footage of the celebration

Unfortunately it looks like Solange had an allergic reaction to an unknown source and ended up breaking out in hives

mother and son dance together

Check out Solange and Juelz perform a choreograph dance routine to " NO FLEX ZONE" I loved this part of her wedding 

 

Overall Solange's wedding was a home run. She looked beautiful, happy and blew the world away. KUDOS SOLO.

Also just to let you know Solange is 28 and her knew husband is 51 *WOAH* I thought the Beyonce JayZ age gap was huge but SOLO just beat out BEY BEY

Seems like the Bey and Solo both have a thing for older men. Women do mature faster than men so that could be why.  

I'm not sure if her father Married Knowles made the wedding but I really hope he did along with Kelly Rowland but I doubt it only because i couldn't find any pictures of them at the wedding.

As always Social Media blew up and even took the time to let Kim Kardashian know this is how you BREAK THE INTERNET while remaining fully clothed.

Solange officially has all unmarried women re planning their future weddings in their heads including me. We all want to be as fabulous as SOLO some day. She has me re-evaluating all my wedding plans and I'm thinking my wedding will be a fashion show "lets see what I can come up with.

Solange made an Instagram post about her special day

Finalists for Seabrook Island Wedding Giveaway

     As you live your days on this wonderful earth you encounter people that leave an everlasting impression upon your life. One of the people who did just that for me was Crystal. I met her my freshmen year of college and I am more than sure God personally put her in my life. Growing up as the oldest of ten siblings I always had to be the backbone and of course I yearned for a older sister to call my own. While a student/cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point, Crystal was a big sister, mother figure, and a mentor to me. I admire so much about her and she always gave me great advice whether I wanted to hear it or not. She truly cared about my well being.

    While she was an English instructor at West Point she met the love of her life Marcus. I remember when she told me they were dating, and I decided I was going to give him a hard time just because I did not want just any man talking to Crystal. She was special in my eyes and deserved a special man. Turns out Marcus was a sweetheart and he won me over.

     Now it is almost 4-5 years later and Marcus has officially asked Crystal to become his wife. I was filled with joy when Crystal told me the great news. Finding the love of your life truly is a great feeling. Now that she has said yes, it is now time to plan the wedding. I recently found out that Crystal and Marcus are semi finalist in a spectacular wedding giveway. The giveway is with " Seabrook Island Resort Beach " and the couple has the opportunity to win a dream wedding at one of Charleston's most luxurious beach resorts. I definitely would love for them to win this giveway.

* excert from the website*


Crystal and Marcus have a rather fateful romance going for them. The two met at West Point, then, years later while stationed in separate cities in Afghanistan, struck up a romance that played out over “handwritten letters, spotty Internet connections, and often disconnecting phone lines,” says Marcus. (Between missions, he says he even folded paper origami roses so he could send her a bunch of flowers.) When the two were back stateside, with Crystal stationed in Hawaii and Marcus in Georgia, one visit found him on the mic in a jazz club pouring out his love for her along with a proposal. They danced to “At Last” and soon decided to wed in Crystal’s hometown of Charleston. “We plan to retire there after our Army careers,” explains Marcus. “Crystal speaks of Charleston with reverence, with stories past, and with pure happiness as much of her family still lives there. And after walking along the Charleston’s coast, hand-in-hand with my wife-to-be and almost hypnotized by the gentle lap of the water, I, too, fell in love with the city.” Add in the area’s rich military history, plus the Gullah traditions that they hope to share with his California family, and there couldn’t be a better spot for them to say “I do.”
