BLACK IS IN FOR WEDDINGS!!!

2011-10-30T14:46:00.000-07:00

Ok so maybe not for the beach but a few brides will be rocking the black dresses this year - very Sex in the City and although it might be lovely for London, Paris or New York I do not think we will be seeing this trend at The Sunset next year..

VERA WANG SPRING 2012 COLLECTION

2011-10-30T14:32:00.000-07:00

We wanted to share this beautiful Vera Wang wedding dress from her 2012 Spring Collection - what could be more perfect for the beach..... so beautiful!!!

BYE BYE CUPCAKES

2011-10-30T14:14:00.000-07:00

Wedding cake trends for 2012 are seeing the end of the cup cake era as brides as reverting back to traditional butter cream cakes..

There is better than going back to the old traditions and this is one that has been missed here at The Sunset..

ROYAL WEDDING UPDATE

2011-04-21T14:25:00.000-07:00

With only one week to go for the wedding of the Decade we are counting down the hours to get a peek at Katie's dress... the time difference means that at 3am in LA it will be 11am in London which is the time that Katie arrives at Westminster Abbey!!! - and then to Buckingham Palace for the official wedding reception - we think they should have come here instead and watched the dolphins swim by whilst saying there vows!!!!

2011 SPRING WEDDING GOWN TRENDS

2011-01-08T13:25:00.001-08:00

HISTORICAL BRIDAL GOWN TRENDS FOR 2011.

This is the year for a trip down memory lane when it comes to bridal fashion.

Designers are pulling out all the stops to create mystical, magical dresses that inspire the bride to create a historical wedding.

At first I was really surprised that this was going to be the 2011 trend but on closer inspection some of the designs are simply breathtaking.

Perfect for any beach wedding!!!

CORPORATE EVENTS

2010-10-17T11:36:00.000-07:00

Planning a corporate holiday party is an important and challenging task. A company holiday party is a great way to thank key members for their help and support over the past year. It also offers a fun way to do a little relationship building with all employees and management.

We can provide you with great ideas for holiday menus, signature drinks, buffet and sit down menus and full open bars to help the party get started.

We have hosted many corporate events including Disney, BMW, Audi, Broadcom and Pepperdine - to name a few..

So who said you had to dress down for the beach?We had a season of the most amazing gowns from Vera Wang to some beautiful creations from Davids Bridal in Los Angeles. The 2010 wedding gown fashion trend was really diverse, you really could have any era of fashion or a mixture of them all..

Typically brides at the beach have played it down in the past but 2010 has taken our breath away..

BRUNCH AT THE BEACH

2010-07-18T11:58:00.000-07:00

We all brunch for different reasons. For some it’s the food, the coctails or the company. At The Sunset is a great way to kick start day and then relax on the beach.

Eggs Benedict is one of the most sumptuous offerings of a classic brunch and one of our most popular dishes…

SIGNATURE WEDDING COCKTAILS

2010-07-17T17:12:00.001-07:00

Choose from a stunning range of signature cocktails at The Sunset.

Sunset Brides have chosen everything from Purple Martini's to Blue devil's and Mojito's..,

blending the colors of the drinks to create

even more drama that compliment the

theme of the wedding...

2010-07-17T14:43:00.000-07:00

DANIEL ROSSI - We are so lucky to have Executive Chef Daniel Rossi at The Sunset whose culinary experience keeps us at the top of our game....

His prestigious background includes Citrus Tokyo, Cirtus Los Angeles and Executive Chef for the Patina Group.

2010-06-12T15:30:00.001-07:00

Yet again, we received rave reviews this month in Westside Magazine.

"laid back luxe in Malibu" which describes us beautifully...

We are very fortunate that we have the same Chef for the restaurant and the events - the food is consistently fabulous!!!

2010-06-04T12:44:00.000-07:00

BEACH WEDDING CENTRE PIECES - I just had to blog about this unique centre piece, very original... It looks amazing surrounded by candles.

The size of the wedding centerpiece is important. The centerpiece shouldn't be so small as to get overlooked. But if it's too large, there might not be enough room for other things like the place cards, cutlery, and crockery and in general the table may become too cramped.

The height of the centerpiece also needs to be carefully considered. If the centerpiece you choose is something thin like a beautiful candle, the height won't matter. In fact you may need it to be really tall to get noticed. On the other hand if the wedding centerpiece is a floral arrangement, ensure that it is short enough that guests can see each other over the arrangement. Often people choose wedding centerpieces that are so overwhelming that guests cannot even see each other across them, let alone hold a conversation!

Of course, your budget will largely determine the wedding centerpiece you choose. Wedding centerpieces can be very affordable or very extravagant so set a realistic buget.

The Catering Manager, Alissa would be happy to assist you in making the perfect selection....

2010-04-27T12:45:00.000-07:00

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

2010-03-24T19:54:00.000-07:00

Saturday March 20th, and another breathtaking wedding at The Sunset. It was a clear blue sky that made the backdrop the this beautiful image so perfect. Every wedding is exciting for The Events Team - as we watch the design unfold and complete a couples dream....

This particular wedding paid so much attention to detail and left nothing to chance - it was an honor to be a part of something so special.

BRIDAL RETOUCHING!!

2010-03-14T08:41:00.000-07:00

WEDDING IMAGE RETOUCHING - has become hugely popular and available for everyone due to the genius of Photoshop. This image by www.aeweddings.com has the special treatment and what bride would not want beautiful skin, bright eyes and a lovely smile. If you have been blessed with those attributes already then you are really fortunate. For everyone else photoshop CS4 is amazing and easy to use, there is even a simple liquify tool to take off the pounds that the camera adds!!! What a life saver!!

AE weddings is the preferred photographer at The Sunset - they just seem to get everything right!!!

MANOLO'S AND THE BEACH - A PERFECT PAIR....

2010-02-27T07:03:00.000-08:00

Sex in the City made the Manolo craze even stronger... - Sarah Jessica Parker strutted her stuff with them on the streets of New York and we all wondered how she trotted around on them. Now it turns out they can be beach friendly too. A popular pick by many of our brides - casual beach meets fashionista - we love this picture!!! A lovely idea is to have a basket of flip flops ready for you and your guests just in case you want to run in the sand at your dream wedding, then put back on the Manolo's and dance the night away in our Event Room overlooking the ocean.

2010-02-23T07:10:00.000-08:00

We have some truly amazing weddings booked for this year. Not surprising with views like this on most evenings.
