Austin Scarlett Dandifies W French Quarter with Bridal Fashion Show

Where: 316 Chartres Street [map], New Orleans, LA, United States, 70130

Proving that former Project Runway contestants can score some good gigs post-show, fop extraordinaire Austin Scarlett showed nineteen wedding looks in the romantic courtyard of the W Hotel French Quarter. In addition to being great exposure for the young designer, the show raised money for Sweet Home New Orleans, a non-profit agency that offers social services and financial assistance to New Orleans musicians.

With the hotel's lush courtyard awash in W's signature purple lighting and many cabanas filled with eager brides-to-be, the W French Quarter evoked a bit of the fantasy for which New Orleans is known. Of course, W Hotels wants you to hold your wedding at one of their hotels and so the night served as a sample of how magical you could look wearing a designer dress and surrounded by paparazzi.

Considering that this is the same hotel which in the past has brought us events like Bikini Brunch and Scary Movie Night, we hope something dramatic and scandalous went down. It wouldn't be like Austin Scarlet to have a normal party.

W French Quarter room rates from $149 a night.
