Natural History Museum Wedding

Jillian + Jed found a truly unique place for their wedding venue - Natural History Museum Wedding, Los Angeles. I love events at museums, and weddings with lots of wonderful details are the best!

The bride and groom incorporated DIY elements and projects throughout the ceremony from backdrop to centerpieces, to the bar and more. The adorable owls illustration on the wedding invites make me want to get married all over again!
