On a hot, beautiful California day 50 wedding industry professionals gathered hillside on one of Malibu's most beautiful wedding venues, Church Estate Vineyards. WIPA hosted their monthly outing amongst the beautiful vineyards, waterfalls and stunning gardens.

A cocktail mingling session took place amongst the vineyards. I LOVED the yellow linens and bright colored flowers by Bound, A Floral and Event Studio & Floral Sense LLC. It is rare as a planner that you get to enjoy the event itself and not actually planning it!
Mixologist Dan Smith from Good Gracious Events Los Angeles & Beverly Hills was on sight making the perfect summer cocktails.
Just in case you stick to wine {like myself} Church Estate makes their own private labeled wine. It was amazing!!!

Honestly, how amazing is the presentation?! From the setting to the beautiful food, it was a perfect way to spend the day.
I do have to say that there is never a dull "meeting" or industry function in the wedding planning world. They are always colorful, eventful and full of surprises!
After our walk through the vineyard it was off to hear some fabulous speakers chat about the California wedding industry and social media. The topics ranged from print magazines like The Knot to wedding Blogs like Broke Ass Bride.
Honestly, can I have one of these Raj Tents as my office?! They are so regale and elegant.The amazing Pauline Perry from Good Gracious Events hosted and made us all laugh with her charming sense of humor {OMGosh, that chandelier in the tent is stunning!}Yes, this is how we spent our day...working. *love it*
The outside grass area turned tented living room was made complete by Form Decor and the comfy chic couches! AND of course, no couch is ever made perfect without throw pillows {that's just how event designers work!}Parasols for the "hot" 80 degree sun. ;)I feel like this is an "Ashley Gain" tent. Agreed?After our learn session it was off to lunch. Again provided by the talented Good Gracious Events who did an amazing job catering the affair.Each table was dress in summer colors around a pound. Swans, beautiful Monet inspired gardens and private table areas was the perfect ending event to a perfect wedding filled day.The menu's were inside these little boxes. A very creative touch that was also unexpected. Guest's always LOVE surprises and the unexpected!
Stripes and patterns are SO in with wedding decor right now. Using a hint of pattern on a few tables really adds that POP in pictures.What would a party for party planners if there wasn't a fabulous dessert and coffee bar at the end? Yummy mini donuts provided by The Fry Girl, Inc first and coffee from Cappuccino Club to keep me awake after all the eating second!
Whether you are in Malibu, Scottsdale or in your own home little surprises and attention to detail go a LONG way. You only get one opportunity to make a first impression!
