Grab a drink, this is going to be a long one…

Karina and Nehal had a spectacular affair at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach a few weeks ago. Karina co-owns the company Preferred Circle and throws events for some of the wealthiest elite in Los Angeles. She says she started planning her wedding two years ago and meticulously picked her vendors. Well it shows, the room was spectacular! There are too many vendors involved to go into detail about them all so I will just list them; but this was one of the most amazing reception rooms I’ve seen to date! These vendors throw some of the hottest parties in L.A. so you can be assured that if they are on this list they are amongst the best of the best!

I will make one mention of the fabulous Stephanie Lairson. She is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after event planners in Southern California for a reason.

*Brides note about the shoes – Christian Louboutin Beverly Hills – I saw a photo of these shows in Vogue over a year before the wedding. I had to have them! I was on the hunt. I went to 2 shops in New York and checked Neimans and Saks. I was coming back from a meeting one day in Beverly Hills and I saw the Christian Louboutin store on Burton Way. I decided to pop in and there they were – glowing in the window. I bought the very last pair – luckily they were my size! Apparently they made very few of this style and they sold out fast. I wanted to wear them so bad so I wore them around the house so I wouldn’t get the bottoms scuffed – they waited a whole year to make their debut!
