Fairy nipple flowers & Khaleesi dresses: My Monique Lhuillier surprise visit
I knew my friend was taking me to a dress shop in LA that is filled with non-traditional dress options. But what I didn’t know is that she made a surprise appointment for me at Monique Lhuillier.

Scientists and flasks abound at this science meets art wedding
Victoria and John crafted a “mad naturalist” science-theme with lots of nature and metallics. It was a total blend of science meets art. The octagon backdrop was made from copper pipe, and John made the himmeli ornaments. Victoria loves gardening, so she planted all the herb favors herself from seeds. She also made the wedding signs and wrote the place cards. They even featured wooden dinosaur models, John’s rock collection, and famous scientists as table names. It was a nerdy and chic extravaganza!
