Association of Bridal Consultants Inland Empire Gala Highlight Video

Thank you Michelle of Michelle Johnson Photography for the great photos and John at Godfather Films for this fantastic video highlight of our 7th Annual Association of Bridal Consultants Gala! This year we had a "Cirque" theme. We had the best time putting together this event for all of the hard working event professionals in our association. It was such a pleasure to work with my dear friends Holly Chavez of HMC Event Solutions, Mary Jo Gallegos of An Affaire of the Heart on this event! Enjoy!

The St. Regis Monarch Beach and The Association Of Bridal Consultants Discuss So-Cal Wedding Trends with the Experts

On April 10th the wedding team of The St.Regis Monarch Beach joined forces with the Association of Bridal Consultants Orange County for a fun evening of networking and education to view and discuss the latest in So Cal wedding trends with the experts. Some of the professionals that showcased their talents were: Bloom Box, tic-tock Couture Florals, Nisie’s Enchanted Florist and White Lilac. Carolina Herrera debuted stunning new bridal gowns for all to see. I am in LOVE!

The delectable food and cocktails from the talented chefs and mixologists at the St. Regis Monarch Beach were not to be missed! Such a treat!!! Thank you to Lauren Hillary for your beautiful photos of the event!

Association of Bridal Consultants 7th Annual Gala

I had the honor of collaborating on this special event for the Association of Bridal Consultants-Inland Empire. I serve as Co-Director for this organization and I am very proud of our team. This year we went with a "Cirque" theme and our event was held at The Sheraton Fairplex in Pomona. The Meritage Building at the Sheraton Fairplex was the perfect venue for our theme! There were so much for the guests to see and do: caricatures, tarot card reader, henna body art, make-up embellishments (fun jewels and airbrushed tattoos), magician, stilt walkers, acrobat, delicious cake and desserts, cappuccino bar, candy station, cotton candy martini’s, dancing, gorgeous decor and florals and amazing food! We had such a great turnout for this event and we are very thankful for our supporters and fellow event professionals. We couldn't have done this event without the help of every vendor that participated! I hope you enjoy these beautiful photos from Michelle Johnson Photography!
