This LA couple planned their dream wedding with the help of the incredible team at THREAD Events. The vibe was modern and effortless. Millwick was a perfect setting for the wedding ceremony and reception! For makeup, we kept the skin clean and fresh and natural with a pop of a winged liner. Her hair was a MOMENT.

Astrologist uses astrology to plan their wedding… you could say the stars aligned
Working with this bride and groom was a complete dream! Not only are they the sweetest and kindest couple, their story and how they approached the wedding planning process was completely unique. The bride (an Aries) and the groom (a Cancer) used astrology to chart the perfect wedding day for them. Their dream venue was Catalina View Gardens, along the coast of Palos Verdes, CA. Considering the groom is an astrologist and he is an expert, they then used Electional Astrology to plan out the timing of the wedding day events.
