Watch 100 Years Of Wedding Dresses In 3 Minutes!

Ch-ch-ch-changes. David Bowie said it best. The perfect soundtrack for the evolution and growth of wedding fashion. Recently, Huffington Post posted a really fun video showing the ever changing styles of wedding dresses. Within the last couple of years, the vintage style has definitely made a comeback, and I have to say, I'm a huge fan. Lots of lace, birdcage veils, and even broach bouquets. I love the idea of taking something with a little history and making it fit in today's world. Then again, after watching the video, maybe there are some styles that should stay in the past. Ha! What do you think about the wedding styles from back then? Check it out here!   Hugs and Kisses, Mallory

Melissa and Josh – May 24, 2014

Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: Kevin Ferguson Photography “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” In honor of #tbt, I thought I throw it back to 2014, when my childhood neighbor married her best friend. Melissa and I grew up together. My family purchased our home only a few months before her parents did, and from what we are told, it didn't take very long for our families to become great friends. To this very day, our families are closer than ever, but we've grown from family friends, to just family. Melissa is a year older than me, so we really did go [...]

Fast Wedding Day Dress Fixes

  Expect the unexpected... a phrase commonly used in the event industry. You may plan everything for your wedding day down to a tee, but unexpected incidents tend to always arise. For example- stains on the wedding dress or a broken bustle. Before you find yourself sprinting to a nearby sink to rinse out that giant mascara mark that was drawn onto your dress, beware.

What Our Country Club Has to Offer

West Hills Country Club has recently been featured in the The Met Golfer Magazine's February/March issue (the article begins on page 76- if you have a chance, check it out!). This inspired me to write about the country club itself, which does not get as much attention on our blogs as it deserves! The article talks about our history as the Orange County Golf Club which began in 1899. It touches on when and why the bridge was built on property (which many of our wedding couples have pictures of hanging in their houses... :) ) and other details about the past and present of the club. The Bonura Hospitality Group bought the club in November of 2012 and the place was transformed into West Hills Country Club. And let me tell you... the renovations have been spectacular. We are now a 27 [...]
