An expert in the wedding and event planning business, Blum has been the mastermind behind countless A-list celebrity weddings.
Instead of throwing a massive bash, they hosted a small, intimate event with their closest circle of loved ones, some of whom they’ve known for more than 50 years. The combination of their long-time friends from the over years and their recent friends was a beautiful, eclectic bunch from various facets of life all coming together to celebrate.
