LA: The City for the A-List

Unlike the reality stars of today, the crème de le Hollywood crème enjoys the quiet life. They don’t chase the paparazzi and they certainly don’t need the cameras on them 24/7, so it makes sense that they’d choose the gorgeous—and quiet—Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Bridal Guide’s own A-Lister editor in chief Diane Forden recently stayed at the urban hideaway while taping a segment with our television guru and star of My Fair Wedding David Tutera. Always on the lookout for you dear brides and honeymooners, Diane came back with loads of bridal related praise for the gorgeous property, which is tucked away in tony Beverly Hills. First off, check out this incredible lobby! Her room, a two-room suite with views of downtown Los Angeles, was reminiscent of the romance of staying in Europe. She especially loved the French doors, deep bathtub and comfy bed. And Diane told me the room would make the most magnificent bridal suite.  Diane also couldn’t stop gushing about the fabulously renovated Culina restaurant. The modern take on Italian cuisine is divine and the setting even more so. There’s an ample outdoor area with oversize heaters and loads of seating that’s simply perfect for a shower, rehearsal dinner or morning-after brunch. The inside of the restaurant has a hip vibe going on for those of you who are looking for a sophisticated spot to host an intimate reception far away from the prying eyes of those pesky paparazzi.
