A Banff Wedding Planner in Los Angeles!

January 31st, 2012

Hello!

It’s been a whirlwind the past 2 weeks.  in mid January (yep, right when that frigid cold snap hit) I hopped on a plane and headed south. A dear colleague and friend of mine lives in the Los Angeles area, and when she told me about an event she was collaborating on to launch a new winery event space, I jumped at the chance to come down & be part of it!  It’s been a jam packed few days, with visits to some luxury event suppliers. I want to share my adventures with you, so I am going to write a few blog posts about the trip!

I flew into LA at noon, and Debbie from Creative Party Concepts picked me up from the airport, and we headed straight to BBJ Linens. BBJ linens has a huge stock of really fun, unique, and luxurious linens. BBJ has a fantastic website (with a very cool design tool), but it’s so much easier to get a really good idea about linens when you can touch & feel them. I am a hugely tactile person, so I was like as kid in a candy store!  I am going to warn you, I am not a professional photographer, but for some reason I can’t seem to get one to follow me around!  So, your going to have to settle for the images I took my my little digital camera! Here’s some of my favourite linens!

I think Crinkle linens make a fantastic base.  They come in lots of neutral colours, but the texture makes them interesting.  I’m actually just a bit obsessed with crinkle linens right now!

Again, just a subtle texture makes this linen more exciting than a basic satin.  The green on the linen below looks alot like moss.  Perfect for a mountain wedding!

This linen was SO thick and luxurious!

I love the elegant leaf motif on this linen.

I’m a huge fan of bright colour.  The next few linens really appeased my colorful self. I’ll be honest, there’s not many venues in the mountain that would suit these table coverings, but a nice neutral art gallery, or a beach side destination would be a perfect backdrop!

This overlay doesn’t look all that exciting, but the sheer fabric means it changes colour based on the linen you place under it! This overlay with a hot pink tablecloth looks amazing!

There were a few linens that screamed mountain wedding to me.  This sophisticated green shade with a wood chiavari was stunning.

Oh yes it is!  A furry white linen.  This just screams glam winter mountain wedding. PLEASE call me if you love this linen and are getting married in the mountains, we have to talk!

BBJ has just started carrying a new line of chargers.  Think of all the possibilities!!

Stay tuned for more posts on our 5:30 am trip to the LA flower market, our Drive up to Santa Barbara to see another amazing linen supplier, and the winery launch event!
