WILDFLOWER LINEN

Last month, we sent an email blasting  our excitement  about owner and principal designer of Wildflower Linen, Youngsong Martin, putting on her fashion show for Exquisite Event’s Terrace Tea Event in Beverly Hills.

Now, we’re happy to send you a recap of the event along with some amazing shot of the models wearing none other than Youngsong’s upcoming Wildflower Linen Fall Collection.

From Arizona to Las Vegas, Young has wowed audiences with her signature runway shows in which she instantaneously transforms her luxurious table linens into haute apparel by deftly draping and pinning them to professional high-fashion models.  Although these impromptu gowns and dresses revert back into designer Wildflower Linen rental items, it doesn’t stop fashionistas from inquiring about purchasing them to wear at their next event.

In her fashion show at the landmark Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons hotel, Youngsong didn’t disappoint!  She unveiled Wildflower Linen’s new fall collections of designer fabrics.  While guest enjoyed this dazzlingly creative trunk show-style linen extravaganza, they also enjoyed cocktails in the Rodeo Terrace room of the Beverly Wilshire, followed by afternoon tea in the hotel’s Le Grand Trianon room.

Youngsong Martin teamed with Event Planner and Designer, Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events, to come up with an East-meets-West theme to the event, including three different design concepts evoking the Hamptons, Paris and India.  Youngsong’s newest designs in table linens and chair covers reflected both the diversity and unity of global decor motifs. “We felt the colors and fabric textures were very eclectic and uniquely of the regions,” she explains of inspirations taken from Long Island’s posh Hamptons resorts, the romance of Parisian glamour and the colorful, timeless drama of Indian culture.

The afternoon of cocktails, Wildflower Linen’s fashion show, and tea service was hosted by Radha Arora, regional vice president and general manager of the Beverly Wilshire, and by wedding and banquet planner-designer Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events.

An Excerpt from Phoenix Bride and Groom

What would Marie do?If the “Marie” we’re talking about is Marie Antoinette, we know she would say “Let them eat cake!” That’s exactly what we were thinking when we set up this over-the-top elegant shoot for our Summer/Fall 2011 cover.

You don’t have to be a socialite or a princess to want to indulge in a little sweet fantasy on your wedding day.We can’t think of anything sweeter than being surrounded by these delicious delights — a spectacular cake and delectable bite-sized dreams by Honey Moon Sweets and Bedazzle My Bonbons, all elegantly displayed on pedestals by Fabulous Wedding Cake Stands. The regal Wrigley Mansion was the ideal site for our decadent fantasy, photographed by the talented Hollye Schumacher.

About Empress Lace Butter:

The Empress Lace is one of Wildflower Linen’s signature fabrics that has set the bar for what a ”designer table linen” should be.   It’s been seen in a multitude of photoshoots, features and real weddings.

Empress Lace Butter, specifically, is one of our client’s favorites as well as ours because of it’s versatility.  With just a switch of an underlinen, the whole look can transform.

Wildflower Linen’s founder Youngsong Martin

to put on her signature fashion show in Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS, California  June 10, 2011 – Youngsong Martin is the veteran high-fashion apparel designer who redefined special-event rental decor after founding Wildflower Linen and introducing the industry to her unique brand of designer table linen and chair covers.

From Arizona to Las Vegas, Young has wowed audiences with her signature runway shows in which she instantaneously transforms her luxurious table linens into haute apparel by deftly draping and pinning them to professional high-fashion models.  Although these impromptu gowns and dresses revert back into designer Wildflower Linen rental items, it doesn’t stop fashionistas from inquiring about purchasing them to wear at their next event.

This weekend, Youngsong will bring her fashion show here to the landmark Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons hotel, on Sunday, June 12, at 3 p.m., when she will unveil Wildflower Linen’s new fall collections of designer fabrics.  While guest enjoy this dazzlingly creative trunk show-style linen extravaganza, they will also enjoy cocktails in the Rodeo Terrace room of the Beverly Wilshire, followed by afternoon tea in the hotel’s Le Grand Trianon room.

Youngsong Martin (Wildflower Linen) & Nikki Khan (Exquisite Events)

Youngsong Martin teamed with Event Planner and Designer, Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events, to come up with an East-meets-West theme to the event, including three different design concepts evoking the Hamptons, Paris and India.  Youngsong’s newest designs in table linens and chair covers will reflect both the diversity and unity of global decor motifs. “We felt the colors and fabric textures will be very eclectic and uniquely of the regions,” she explains of inspirations taken from Long Island’s posh Hamptons resorts, the romance of Parisian glamour and the colorful, timeless drama of Indian culture.

“What we intend to show is how these regions all think alike aesthetically, even though they are so far apart from each other,” Young says. “For example, India and Paris are so different in culture, color sensibility, lifestyle and cuisine, and yet they also somehow reveal in their unique ways that they are more similar than different, and that they have been influencing each other worldwide for centuries.”

The afternoon of cocktails, Wildflower Linen’s fashion show, and tea service is being hosted by Radha Arora, regional vice president and general manager of the Beverly Wilshire, and by wedding and banquet planner-designer Nikki Khan of Exquisite Events.

For more information about Youngsong Martin and Wildflower Linen, visit the company’s website at www.wildflowerlinens.com or call (714) 522-2777.  Showrooms are available in Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa, San Francisco, Scottsdale, Arizona, and Park City, Utah.

 A lovely wedding in West Hollywood, California was featured today on Style Me Pretty. 

Excerpt from Style Me Pretty: It’s one part contemporary, one part elegant, and a whole lotta gorgeous! Photographed beautifully by Samuel Lippke and designed by the talented Carolyn at The Special Day, this west coast wedding is sure to have you smitten in no time!

From Special Day Event Planning and Design: Charlene and Steve chose The London West Hollywood Hotel for their Spring wedding because of it’s very clean, modern decor, and the gorgeous rooftop tent space with views of Hollywood and Los Angeles – very fitting to their styles. They wanted their wedding to be Chic, Simple, Classy, and Romantic – streamlined, nothing fussy. It was important to Charlene and Steve that their wedding was an intimate celebration with their closest family and friends. Throughout the planning and design process, much of their inspiration came from several Style Me Pretty featured weddings.

Stay tuned as we bring you Part 2 of the Inside Wedding Magazine featured weddings.

Today, our close friend and celebrity planner, Diann Valentine finally made an announcement about the special projects she’s been working so hard on this year and we couldn’t be more excited to help her spread the word!  Diann is the star and executive producer of the highly anticipated new show on WeTv called I Do Over.  This show is about giving couples who experienced a devastating first wedding a second chance at their dream wedding. 

See the commercial currently airing on WeTV to promote all the shows coming this season.  They can’t  air anything about the show just yet but we love the cute promo anyway!

Wildflower Linen is of course excited because we were chosen as the exclusive designer table linen and chair cover rentals for all the couples this season on I Do Over.  With the creative collaboration of Diann Valentine with Wildflower Linen’s Creative Director, Youngsong Martin, these couples definitely will have an amazing dream wedding.   Youngsong  even created custom pieces  for each client’s big “second” day! 

We can’t wait to see the episodes and share with you the decor elements and linen items provided to each couple.

With no official listing on when I Do Over will air, it’s rumored to begin sometime this summer!  We will keep you posted. 

Till then, congratulations on this successful venture Diann!
