Natural History Museum Wedding: Jen + Eric
by Jen via Real Weddings | Green Wedding Shoes Wedding Blog | Wedding ...
It’s
hard to imagine a more amazing backdrop for a wedding reception than
LA’s very own Natural History Museum! Jen + Eric took advantage of the
setting with a big, fun celebration full of incredible details +
beautiful
A-line wedding dresses
+ meaningful moments. I love how they were able to bring bits of the
environment into the tablescapes in the form of nature-filled
shadowboxes, dinosaur figurines + awesome found objects! And the
textural, overgrown florals by Primary Petals are so crazy pretty!
Here’s a bit more from the lovely bride:
We knew in order to
enjoy our day fully, we had to make it a 2 day affair! We had our
ceremony on a Thursday at the Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes with 50
of our closest friends and family, with a celebration dinner after.
Friday was spent relaxing by the pool at Terranea. Saturday was the
reception at The Natural History Museum in LA. It included about 170
people and was more of a cocktail party feel. I have been in a lot of
weddings, so I had plenty of time and experience to figure out exactly
what I wanted. We had a destination wedding feel in our own city! Eric’s
family was coming in from Illinois and Ohio, so we didn’t want just 5
minutes to spend with them at a reception. We basically got an entire
weekend with family and friends. From the Converse groom’s cake, to Neon
Nation – our AMAZING 80′s band, the whole weekend was SO us.
Thank you to
Victor Sizemore for the gorgeous images +
Kristeen LaBrot Events for the beautiful event design. And big congrats to the happy couple – we wish you all the best!

Take One Summer Scorcher
by Lolly via Rock My Wedding
I’m
hot and I don’t mean in a kick-ass, lip-pouting,
boys-eat-your-heart-out kinda way. I mean in a slightly clammy, I can’t
be bothered to do anything with my hair, I only want to wear a bikini
state of affairs.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the heat and I’m also
tickled by the fact that our fickle meteorologists are calling the
current weather situation ‘a heatwave’. Funny, back when I was a wee
one, this would just be a standard summer but perhaps that’s the mind
playing tricks on me.
Any bride marrying in either June, July or
August dreams of being blessed with glorious weather – I mean you don’t
pay a premium for marrying at the peak of summer for nothing you know –
but I think even the lucky couples of the last few weeks will be amazed
at their own good fortune.
And so in homage to the sunshine, to
the scorching days and the balmy nights, we’ve decided to dedicate this
week to all things summer – a ‘Summer Scorcher’ themed week if you will.
To
kick things off it seemed fitting to share an inspiration post with you
– designed with the intention of helping you gorgeous lot with making
your guests as comfortable as possible when things are HOT HOT HOT on
your big day. Read full post
