If you’ve been following along, then you’re aware that we launched a nationwide tour back in November. Our City-to-City tour events have stopped in 7 cities so far including DC, New York, Houston, Memphis, Charleston, Los Angeles and Atlanta. We’re happy to finally share images from our Los Angeles tourstop, which also served as a magazine release party.
We were hosted by our longtime friend and huge supporter, Diann Valentine (who will also be joining us at our first business conference). With an Old Hollywood theme in mind, Diann designed a decadent table of oversized red roses and pieces from her new Living Well Collection. Btw, have you checked out the collection yet? Take a peek over here. In addition, our gorgeous models were the perfect display for her signature Bridal Cuffs which were a HUGE hit with all the brides and guests that were in attendance!

The entire evening, planned by Aaliyah of B3 Event Design, was sexy, sophisticated and inspiring. The venue, The Redbury, was the perfect setting with both indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate our guests. Brides-to-be, industry friends, and wedding creatives were greeted with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, sultry entertainment from Hope Dean Music and plenty of inspiration including the prettiest cakes from Southern Girl Desserts. To add a modern twist to the Old Hollywood vibe, the outdoor space was decked out with white, gold and pewter tablescapes featuring lush florals from Isari Flower Studio and pretty stationery from Royale Amethyst Invitation & Design. We also had a custom chocolate station from Custom Party Bars and a Beauty Bar with celebrity makeup artists AJ Crimson and Maisha Oliver offering beauty consults to our guests.
