Jamie and Elliot’s Wedding 5.20.16

Posted on September 15, 2016 by kellydupratweddingplanner

Who knew there would be this hidden gem of a place in Orange County? Coto de Caza Country Club has just been renovated and it looks absolutely stunning. Good job finding this gem Jamie! She’s searched high and low for a venue and this turns out to be the perfect setting.

I know Jamie from our days of working at Wet Seal. This has been a long time coming since Jamie and Elliot have been together forever it seems. I couldn’t be happier for them when I found out through Social Media that they were engaged. It was such a pleasure that Jamie reached out to me to coordinate their wedding. Jamie and Elliot wanted an intimate, no frill, wedding and they definitely delivered that.

Jamie and Elliot bought A LOT of random decorations and they told me to make it work. Hong from Pink, the Little Flower Shop, and I just randomly placed them around the venue and everything actually turned out beautifully with all the decorations.

Love the next couple of pictures – these truly depicts how I know Jamie and Elliot. Super fun, down to earth, simple and genuine people.

Jamie and Elliot, thank you so very much for letting this little Asian girl help you with the wedding planning process. It was truly an honor and so much fun for my team and I to be part of the journey and share this special day with the 2 of you. We couldn’t be happier and we wish you all the laughter, happiness and blessing in the world.

And to end the night with a bang…no weddings are the same and after all these years of doing them, it was my 1st time being on my hands and knees cleaning up puke. Life of wedding planner/coordinator is not as glamorous as you’d think. There are a lot of behind the scenes you don’t see from the pictures posted but I wouldn’t trade this for anything. I love weddings, I love my couples and I will always put 150% of myself into making their wedding a memorable one.

Samira and Borzin’s Wedding 3.19.16

Posted on July 22, 2016 by kellydupratweddingplanner

This year truly has been an amazing year so far. Samira and Borzin’s wedding definitely proved how lucky we have been.

Samira has reached out to me a couple of times prior to the wedding but we never really set a date to meet until about 2 months before the wedding. When I first met Samira and Borzin, I found them to be genuine, personable and friendly, they are just a great couple all in all. As I conclude our initial meeting, I thought there was no way they will book me since I have never done a Persian wedding before and I’m not too familiar with the culture. Turns out they took their chance on me, gave me the opportunity to learn about the Persian culture and I would be able cross Vibiana off my venue wish list. I worked with them on various items leading up to the wedding so they could enjoy their day and help me coordinate a successful wedding. I was extremely nervous on the day of the wedding 1. I didn’t want to do a bad job since it is a new culture I was working with and 2. Dream Venue!

Samira and Borzin mentioned to me that Persian weddings involved a lot of eating, partying and dancing until the wee hours of the night and boy, did they deliver! Since the day was also Persian New Year, it was another good excuse to celebrate. The crowd was a bit hard to control at times but it was such a fun experience for our KDWP team. We are so thankful that the family, bridal party and guests embraced us and showed us what a Persian wedding is all about.

Thank you Navid Studio Photography for the beautiful pictures.

We wish you all the best and happiness in this journey as husband and wife.

Mai and Nham’s wedding 1.30.16

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Kelly Duprat

I received a call from Mai on Cecilia and David‘s wedding day for her wedding. At the time of the call, she said her wedding is 4 weeks away and she needed a coordinator. I told her that for her wedding size, I usually wouldn’t do it because it doesn’t give me much time to prepare. After exchanging a few words, we decided to meet the next day to discuss more. It turns out Mai’s sister and maid of honor is in the wedding industry, Sweet Events by Anh, and everything has been planned and ready to go. They just needed someone to be there on the day of to set everything up. After meeting with Mai and her sisters and seeing how sweet they all are, I decided to help them. I was a bit apprehensive leading up to the wedding because there was so many details to the wedding and I didn’t want to disappoint Mai and Anh.

It was a lot of work but I don’t regret one bit after seeing the end result, the wedding was just beautiful. I’m still in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out to be and I am glad I had a hand in helping Anh execute her vision of the wedding for her sister.

Big thanks to Anh for taking a step back and trusting us to execute your vision. I know how hard it is sometimes to let go after months and months of planning. It is very humbling when another planner has faith in another planner/coordinator in the industry, we really appreciate it.

Cecilia and David’s wedding 1.2.16

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Kelly Duprat

We celebrated 2016 in style with a fantastic wedding right after ringing in the New Year. Cecilia interned for KDWP a few years back but she was so busy with school and work that she decided not to pursue the field. I also think I scared her away from it since she saw how much work was involved when planning/coordinating a wedding.🙂

Cecilia and David wanted a no frill, easy-going wedding to enjoy with their family and friends. When they contacted me to coordinate their wedding, I was a bit surprised since Cecilia knows a lot of coordinators (she interned for a few if I recall correctly) but I was more than happy to be part of their special day. I also had the pleasure of working with Trini and Phong, a past couple of ours, who now have become successful photographers. Thank you for the beautiful pictures Trini!

Lily and Gordon’s wedding 10.10.15

Posted on May 23, 2016 by kellydupratweddingplanner

Wrapping our events in 2015 and saving the best for last! Our very own KDWP team member got married! I’ve known Lily since she was 17 years old and when she started dating Gordon, I was beyond happy that she found a great guy! When Gordon and Lily got engaged, the first thing I said after congratulating them was I can only wear 1 hat at their wedding and I want to enjoy it. Gordon was mostly doing the planning so it was interesting getting a guy’s perspective on the whole thing.

I have to give credit to my dear friend Lily on being there with me from the beginning of KDWP. If it weren’t for her encouragement, support, help and belief in me, I wouldn’t have been able to grow the company where it is today. It was just the 2 of us when we started 7 years ago and I have no idea how we pulled it off doing weddings just the 2 of us then. Now, we have a whole team who she has trained and dedicated her time to. I have to say, she is my right hand in growing the business. I have to thank Gordon too for sacrificing his time with her and allowing Lily to work with me on the weekends. Gordon and Lily are a couple who you can truly count on and they compliment each other in so many ways. I can’t express how grateful I am to have them as my friends and couldn’t be happier that they had a blast at their wedding.

So for the Grand Entrance, Gordon and Lily wanted to do a 1 shot music video with all of the guests. Since I experienced and coordinated the one from Diana and Tony’s wedding the month before, I coached them on how it should go. Here I am with our KDWP team going over how everything should go to make the video a smooth transition.

Gosh, I can’t believe I’ve known these 2 crazy sisters for almost 15 years now. All the memories we’ve made together are priceless. I know I can always count on them to be truthful and a shoulder to lean on. Jenny’s Maid of Honor speech had me laughing and in tears.

Nancy + Wayne’s wedding 9.12.15

Posted on May 3, 2016 by kellydupratweddingplanner

The beauty of technology -my only form of communication with Nancy and Wayne was through emails and phone conversations leading up to the wedding day. They both live in San Diego so I didn’t get to meet them until rehearsal day. I dwarfed standing next to Wayne since he is such a tall guy and Nancy is super sweet and easy going. I’m glad I got to work on their big wedding (close to 500 guests) and helping them execute their vision of the wedding day.

Ann and Cory’s wedding 9.26.15

Posted on April 15, 2016 by kellydupratweddingplanner

Ann and Cory, this sweet couple of mine, found my services thanks to Yelp in January. At the time, Ann lives and works in San Jose while Cory was finishing school in San Diego. They needed someone in Orange County to do partial planning for them and I was more than happy to help them in the 9 months that we had to plan the wedding. I looked for venues, set them up with vendors that would fit their personality and reviewed all proposals. Cognizant of their budget, I crossed out many items in vendor proposals that they thought they needed or wanted. It was a pleasure working with Ann and Cory as they were so easy going. Our communication was mainly via emails and whenever they were in town, I crammed as many meetings with vendors as possible to make most of their time. I still had to leave some room for them to eat because they love to eat and Ann CAN eat! They always try to drag me out to eat with them when they were in Orange County but I had to refuse a couple of times since I was busy working weddings.

Diana and Tony’s wedding 9.4.15

Posted on December 24, 2015 by Kelly Duprat

Diana and Tony’s wedding ranks as one of my top 5 favorite weddings that I’ve had the honor to coordinate. I don’t take a lot of Friday weddings (since I have a full time job too) but when I do it’s because the couple is special to me. I’ve known Tony through Thao and Robert’s wedding back in 2010 as he was their groomsmen. When Tony and Diana contacted me to use my services for their wedding, it was such a treat for me because 1. they know a lot of people in the business and for them to hire me was truly an honor; 2. I knew their wedding would look beautiful because their taste is impeccable and 3. I would get to see a lot of familiar faces and it’s always a pleasure seeing all the people I’m friends with on Facebook and Instagram🙂

Honey Honey Photography pictures of Diana and Tony’s wedding are truly amazing. It’s the true epitome of how beautiful the couple and wedding is. What an honor to be working with such talents. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Tea Ceremony followed the Church Ceremony.

I tell all my clients not to worry about the order of events and to make things work for them. It is THEIR wedding day after all and as long as they incorporate some tradition into the wedding day, all is fine.

Moments before entering the Tea Ceremony, I sewed a button on a groomsman jacket. I made it just in time!

Did I mention how much I love this wedding??? Swooning over everything! The details, D.I.Y, rustic look, flowers by Pink, The Little Flower Shop! I mean how can you not??

dianaandtony-wedding-801

I remember how we had a hard time making the place cards stay into the slots of the branches. We ended up using glue to make them hold in place. No straightening the place cards either, it makes it look more natural and rustic. Totally in line with the feel and decorations of the wedding.

After the cake cutting, Diana and Tony got all of their guests participating in a music video which would be filmed in just 1 shot! I was nervous the whole time but it was pulled out beautifully.

Lea and Allan’s wedding 7.11.14

Posted on October 26, 2015 by Kelly Duprat

For Lea and Allan’s wedding, my only involvement was more of the background work with the timeline, vendor list etc…Our Lead Assistant, Ying, was in charge of everything on the day of, even contacting and confirming with all of the vendors the week of the wedding. It was nice for a change to sit back and watch my team work and see what they have learned from working with me on previous events. I have total confidence in all of my lead assistant and know that they will keep true to our KDWP brand.

From Ying:

Lea and Allan , one of the most patient, loveliest and care – free couples ever! I can see how much they compliment each other and why they are so in love. They shared so much love with family and friends and it truly shined through at their wedding. Their wedding was such a treat to coordinate because Lea had fun with it. It was an honor to be their lead coordinator for the day! Wishing them a lifetime full of happiness and love together.

Wedding 5.30.15

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Kelly Duprat

This couple wants to remain anonymous so I will mainly blog about the details of the wedding. I have to say though, this must be the biggest bridal party I have ever worked with and it was definitely challenging at times trying to get a total of 24 bridesmaids and groomsmen to follow instruction all at once since there were so many of them to keep track of.
