{Melanie + Trevor} St. Regis Wedding

Oh how I love getting pictures back and posting them to my blog. Thank you so much Jack Randall Photography for the lovely pictures of Melanie and Trevor. Flowers by Nisie at Enchanted Florist, while the hair and makeup by the girls at the Vogue Salon at the St. Regis. Beautiful June afternoon for a wedding...I love June!

Paper & Thread Studio

In working with one of my favorite couples for 2011, I have been honored to attend many vendor meetings with them so far. Last week, we met with Lori Ruedi of Paper and Thread Studio. Her work is just beyond fabulous and so unique. She asks all the right questions to get the couple to describe themselves, and what they love. Which in the end, helps her create and pull off something just for them. I can't wait to see the samples she creates for Devon and Scott...a little beachy chic I think!

Little thanks...

Sometimes a small thank you can go a long way. Here is a basket full of bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes in Del Mar (my favorite cake place), that I dropped off to the Catering Gals at the St. Regis.

{ Diana + Josh } St. Regis Wedding

Here is a sneak peak at Diana and Josh's wedding...we love St. Regis Monarch Beach weddings. My Assistant Elizabeth and I actually stopped for a minute to pose for a picture. We usually never have time to capture any photos of the details, but this time we forced ourselves. This was a beautiful wedding and photos will be uploaded soon from Tony Florez Photography.

Venue: Ole Hanson Beach Club, San Clemente

I pull up to this location almost every Sunday to go run below along the beach path. I think this is the most striking location for a bride looking to get married outdoors and "by the beach" (which always seems to be a criteria among California brides). I love the Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente. Look up top too, dinner and dancing outdoors, under the stars. Now how perfect is that?

I love the big long white benches...

and the sheppard hooks with river rocks...so clever!

Working on rebranding the logo...here's the new go-forward "Kiley Walker Events" logo.

{ Amanda + Jeff } Seagrove Park and Brigantine Wedding

This was a unique wedding for me in that I actually was a guest! I have never been a guest at one of "my" weddings. My friends Amanda and Jeff made me promise that I couldn't do any work on the day of the wedding. They only allowed me to take part in helping with everything leading up to the wedding, but then on the day of the Rehearsal all the reigns were passed over to my fabulous Assistant Elizabeth Meizen. She did everything on her own, like a champ (although we did chat during the day to make sure all was going well!). That little worker-bee did a fabulous job for Amanda and Jeff, covering all the bases and ensuring everything was excuted upon just as they had asked. We loved the vibrant "yellow" that was tied in everywhere. From the flowers, to the bridesmaids dresses (they all picked their own yellow dress), to the cupcakes, chalkboard table names and lemons for fillers in the centerpieces. I think yellow sybolized Amanda's personality - a ray of sunshine, full of cheer, smiles and happiness. Weddings at Seagrove Park are always gorgeous, espcially this time of year. The fun outdoor Reception just up the road was at the imfamous "Brig." We loved this wedding big time!! Special thanks to the photos from the talented and amazing Zach Hodges Photography.
