Despite the grandeur, what Kim remembers most vividly is the time she spent with her father right before she walked down the aisle, while over 1,000 guests awaited their procession. A ceremony would ensue at the Dallas Symphony, followed by a reception under a 40,000 square-foot tent at Arlington Hall. Kim’s parents threw the blowout bash, enlisting the help of planner Diamond Affairs and designer Todd Events. “It was such a special evening,” Kim says. They topped off the night with dinner for two. Justin got down on one knee with his great-grandmother’s ring in hand. Fast forward to their proposal, which unfolded at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. “He likes to say that I chased him around for a bit, but I like to say the opposite,” she says.
It’s still unclear who made the first move. “It was after church on a beautiful Sunday in spring.” He was eating with a friend of Kim’s, who introduced them. Kim and Justin met at what was formerly Who’s Who Burger in Highland Park Village-“remember that place?” she laughs. For the first time, the socialite-turned-entrepreneur looks back on her big day. (We like to call her the Texas version of Gwyneth Paltrow.) Kim also has Hollywood ties-she married Justin Whitman, the son of actor Stuart Whitman.
Her new book, Parties Around a Punch Bowl, features dozens of party ideas organized around the Southern party staple.

Kim’s extensive resume includes, but is not limited to, TV host, lifestyle author, Southern Living editor-at-large, and Halo Home founder. But on April 2, 2005, Kim put on a crown-an antique tiara provided by Carter Malouf of William Noble, to be exact. Kimberly Schlegel Whitman wears a lot of hats.
