Bernie and Aaron’s wedding at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles was one of our favorites.The ceremony, held in the iconic rose garden, showcased an avant-garde design concept that reimagined tradition. A striking aisle combined the principles of Ikebana with contemporary floral aesthetics, setting the tone for their unique celebration. The juxtaposition of modern and classic elements paid homage to the garden’s beauty while infusing it with a fresh perspective.

The reception unfolded in the museum’s Grand Foyer, where guests dined amongst towering prehistoric dinosaurs. The design featured a mix of dramatic candelabras and tall floral installations, with abundant curly willow branches adorned with cascading white orchids. Beneath the towering arrangements, crystal vases displayed winter bell green hellebores and Veronica flowers, adding an intimate touch. From cocktails in the rotunda to the unforgettable dinner setting, every detail was meticulously curated to create an extraordinary evening that bridged the past and present.
