Stylist Dani Michelle Wore Four Dresses to Her Wedding at Casa del Mar - Vogue

European feel at Hotel Casa del Mar in Santa Monica,” Dani says.The search for a wedding dress was even more extensive. “I tried on dresses in designer houses from California, New York, London, Paris, and Israel,” Dani admits. “I had sketches done by designers and created my own. I had a clear image of how I wanted to feel, and it was when I saw these one-of-a-kind hand-draped macrame puff sleeves from Vera Wang, with Old World–style lace, that I knew I had found my dress. But it didn’t exactly exist yet, so I worked with the amazing team in New York and Los Angeles to recut the sleeves and incorporate them into one of their crepe mermaid gowns that we then customized.” They used the same kind of lace to create an extended cathedral veil and did fittings in L.A., New York, and then back in L.A. again to make sure everything felt perfect. “But it didn’t end there, because in the process I fell in love with another amazing dress by Galia Lahav, who also worked to customize a look with me,” Dani explains. “It had this incredible diamond bow from my collarbone to the floor, and I wanted to wear it for the party. With a high slit up my whole leg, built off a tight, gathered hourglass corset, it was the perfect party dress!”A third dress entered the picture when Dani did a Sex and the City–inspired wedding dress try-on session for @vogueweddings’s Instagram Story. “I tried on the most unique, asymmetrical Viktor & Rolf gown, and Ian fell in love with it,” she says. “I asked the team if I could hold on to it to wear it at my wedding—and it subsequently became my third dress. It was the classic dream of a large, full tulle ballgown. It was uniquely graphic and fashion.”For those who are having trouble keeping up, a recap: the bride wore Vera Wang for her wedding ceremony, a Viktor & Rolf ballgown for her first dance, and the Galia Lahav look for her party. “But it didn’t totally end there,” the fashion fanatic admits. “I designed a final dress with my tailor that I wore for the after-party. Yes, I wore four wedding dresses that night!”To keep the spotlight on this epic array of fashion, jewelry was kept minimal. The bride wore vintage diamond drop earrings from her late grandmother and her new... https://www.vogue.com/article/dani-michelle-kourtney-kardashian-stylist-ian-morrison-wedding-vera-wang-dress

Technicolor explosion of wildflowers springs from epic snowpack in Colorado's high country - The Colorado Sun

Dean Krakel, Special to The Colorado Sun)So, can this year’s profusion of Colorado flowers be called a “super bloom,” like the mega-flora phenomenon that drew hordes of petal peepers to southern California early this spring? The answer is, “no.” Colorado is having a year of superb blooms, but technically it doesn’t qualify as a super bloom — no matter that the term is turning up on social media. Super bloom only applies to what happens in a desert when the seeds of multiple flower species that have been lying dormant in the arid soil all of a sudden wake up and bloom at once. And this year is definitely going down in the books as a late year, meaning July visitors to wildflower haunts will have more to ooh and aah over than usual.img src="https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?w=1024" alt class="wp-image-41004" srcset="https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg 6348w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=300,186 300w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=768,476 768w, https://coloradosun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2019/07/krakel-wildflower-collage.jpg?resize=1024,635 1024w, https://coloradosun.c... https://coloradosun.com/2019/07/04/colorado-wildflower-hikes-super-bloom/
