A Colorful, Whimsical Wedding in Segovia, Spain

Jimena Von Knobloch Luengo and Jaime Landeta Rozpide did not have to search far for wedding-day inspiration. After all, the couple owns a jewelry company together that's based on one central figure: the Apodemia, a species of butterflies that travels from Brazil to Canada each year. The bride first became enamored with the butterflies while vacationing in Canada with her family—and that memory stuck with her for years to come. So much that, when she met Jaimie while at university in London, she shared the memory of the trip (and her love of nature) with her new boyfriend. A year later, after her love of crafting jewels for friends turned into a full-fledged thing, he suggested that they leave the bustling streets of London and return to his hometown of Madrid. There, they co-founded a line of jewelry—with the signature butterfly logo—called Apodemia. (She acts as the creative director, while he's the CEO.)

And just as the special butterflies had inspired their relationship and jewelry brand, they became central to the couple's big day as well. "We know Apodemia is our job, but it is also our way of life," explains the bride. "I love butterflies so we chose to place as many butterflies as possible everywhere." And on July 22, 2017, they did, adding blue paper-cut silhouettes to the escort cards and embellishments to the bride's colorful dress by Beba's Closet.

So if you're a fan of whimsical touches, beautiful jewels, and bright details, keep reading to see more of this creative couple's big day, as photographed by Juanlu Real.

The designer bride naturally wore her own jewels for the big day. "My headdress was made with more than 800 natural tiny pearls intertwined to make the whole tiara," she says.

The bride worked with Spanish designer Belen Barbero of Beba's Closet to design her dream gown. "We are a very big family, and I took my aunts, my grandmother, my best friend, and even Jaime’s mother to the studio," says Jimena. "We really looked like a gypsy wedding family all together. It was really funny!" But despite the many voices and opinions bouncing around the room, Jimena says that she and Belen connected immediately. "The moment I went in and sat with Belen, I knew we understood each other and she knew I was looking for something different and unique."

Jimena's resulting gown featured long sleeves, a full, flowing skirt, and colorful embroidery—that, yes, incorporated her signature butterfly emblem on the sleeve. She paired the dress with jewelry from her own brand, as well as her grandmother's ring and platform Miu Miu heels.

The bride completed her look with a long, beautiful veil and an organic bridal bouquet.

Jaime worked with Suitz to create a special, colorful waistcoat. He paired the design with butterfly-shaped cufflinks by Apodemia, which he also gifted to his groomsmen. Before the ceremony, the guys got together to hang out, sing, and practice for the groom's special performance at the reception.

Jimena's father gave her a kiss on her forehead before walking her down the aisle.

The couple married in front of 400 guests at Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor in Segovia. "I wanted to marry in a small village," says the bride. "And the chapel in the middle of the town is really pretty and detailed."

Inside, she added accents, like potted trees and peonies, inspired by the countryside as a special contrast to the gilded, historic space.

The couple sat at the altar alongside the groom's mother and the bride's father. The bride's sister delivered their rings during the ceremony. "It was really significant for us," says the bride of her sister's special task.

Recode Daily: Samsung’s new flagship Galaxy S9 smartphone thinks it’s a camera

Samsung unveiled its answer to iPhone X with its new flagship Galaxy S9 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona over the weekend. The new phone looks and feels a lot like last year’s S8, so Samsung is talking about the S9 as if it were a camera, deemphasizing the “phone” while emphasizing new features such as stereo speakers and augmented-reality-based emojis. Here’s a hands-on preview from the showroom floor, and heres a roundup of the other interesting stuff from the world’s biggest mobile tech trade show.

The NRA presented FCC Chairman Ajit Pai with a “courage under fire award” — and a rifle — to honor his efforts to roll back net neutrality. At the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, Pai was presented with the award, which is named for Charlton Heston and has been bestowed on Vice President Mike Pence and conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh.

Facebook should have to pay a fine if it can’t get rid of bots, said Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar on NBC’s “Meet the Press” yesterday. The recent spate of harassment and conspiracy-mongering following the Parkland shootings raises some questions: What do these social media sites believe in? Are their community guidelines informed by these values and enforced the same way for everyone? And if they can’t answer those questions — why should we use them?

Here’s how Newsweek fell apart. Interviews with more than a dozen current and former Newsweek staffers make it clear that the magazine’s core had rotted long before a January raid by the Manhattan district attorney, the accusations of improper ties to a religious institution and the recent rounds of well-publicized firings and resignations.


With all the hype surrounding so-called smart things, it’s easy to forget that sometimes the old dumb stuff is just better. Some of the most mundane devices are designed to accomplish a simple task extremely well — and in some cases they still execute those duties better than their high-tech brethren. Consider: A wristwatch vs. Apple Watch; an alarm clock vs. Amazon Echo Spot; and a piece of paper vs. a tablet.

Future Nokia flagship could have five camera lenses

A few phones now have four camera lenses, with two on the back and two on the front, but an upcoming Nokia handset could go one better with five.

That's according to a user posting on Chinese site Baidu, who notes that the phone will have seven camera holes – five for lenses and two for an LED flash.

It's not clear how the lenses will be divided or what they'll be used for, but we'd guess there will be three on the back and two on the front.

Indeed, the upcoming Nokia 9 is already rumored to have two lenses on each side, so it might be gaining one more, or perhaps this rumor is talking about another handset, but whatever phone it is it's sure to be a flagship with that many lenses.

In fact, the same source also mentions that this phone will have a Snapdragon 845 chipset, which is a top-end chip, likely to be used in many of this year's most powerful phones.

So the use of such a chipset in the Nokia 9 or another Nokia flagship wouldn’t be surprising, and while a five-lens camera would be, it's not out of the question, especially as Nokia phones have often been known for their cameras in the past – albeit before HMD Global took over the brand – thanks to things like using Carl Zeiss lenses and in some cases having huge megapixel counts.

We'd take this rumor with a pinch of salt though, as so far this is just the claim of one person with no evidence to back it up. But we might find out if this is true soon, as there's a good chance the next Nokia phones will be announced at MWC 2018 in late February.
