A Regal Affair: Bel Air Bay Club Styled Wedding

I had the pleasure of putting together a wonderful team of vendors for a South Asian inspired wedding shoot at the Bel Air Bay Club. Every time I visit the Bel Air Bay Club I'm impressed by its simple sophistication and the gorgeous beautiful ocean views. It really is a beautiful venue and the fabulous ladies Carrie, Lisa, and Christine are so wonderful to work with. We went with two seperate looks so make sure you look our for part 2 and 3 of the photos. Here are a few photos from the very talented Jen O'Sullivan of the adorable engaged couple Itesh and Nav.

Did I mention that I almost died when I saw this beautiful bridal gown from Renee Strauss. Her collection and style is to die for. Tara from Makeup Therapy did her magic and transformed Nav into a princess. Tara's works is always flawless she makes every bride look glamorous by enhancing their natural beauty.

The mouth drooling bridal jewelry is from Margaret Rowe's Jewelry collection.

A Regal Affair: Taglyan Cultural Center

I've been feeling the heat of wedding season and loving it. Helping a client look for a venue is one of my favorite part of wedding planning. It was a bit of  a challenge, but that's what makes my job fun. The requirements were 250 guests, indoor ceremony and reception, outside catering, budget friendly, and of course it had to be unique and beautiful.  Seher and I spent hours researching, oohing and awing but it was the Taglyan Cultural Complex that stole her heart. It's really a beautiful venue located mere blocks from the world famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine. I consider it to be one of the best kept secret venues in Los Angeles. If you are looking for an indoor venue, I would highly recommend that you check it out.

Here are some of the photos that Seher and I fell in love with

 The Taglyan Grand Ballroom sparkles with cascading crystal chandeliers and a 5,000 square-foot, circular stained glass ceiling. This mesmerizing ballroom can be programmed to shift colors with an elaborate lighting system.
