Allie & Naoki’s Prehistoric Forest Ceremony & Speakeasy Gathering, Los Angeles

 
 
 

Allie & Naoki planned a small ceremony with only family in attendance at the Los Angeles County Arboretum (@laarboretum) in Arcadia. I remember keenly how they both wandered for a few minutes in the Prehistoric Forest before deciding on the spot that felt right for their ceremony. They rounded out the day by inviting a small group of friends to celebrate with them at the Side Bar at Covell (@barcovell). Follow your instincts, and all will be how it should. 

Locations: The Westin Bonaventure Hotel, Los Angeles County Arboretum @laarboretum, & Side Bar at Covell @barcovell (Los Angeles)
Flowers: Of the Flowers @oftheflowers
