Passport to Style
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008When my friends at Elite OC Productions wanted to show their clients that they could design environments as unique, beautiful and cutting-edge as anything done in Los Angeles and New York, they pulled out all the stops even incorporating synchronized swimmers and ballroom dancers. And Wildflower Linen was there to help, providing some of our newest, most innovative creations.
Produced by Elite’s three owners – Linda and Burton Young and Andrea Shelley, “Passport to the World of Elite,” was quite the happening. And where it all happened was Shelley’s fabulous home. She cleared out all her furniture and gave each room over to a different theme and ambience.
The 275 guests traveled mere steps to find themselves in different parts of the world.
To help Shelly transform her living room into a smaller version of Versailles, we used Wildflower Linen’s rich Dupioni Silk Light Blue Diana chair covers.
And finally, in the garden wedding room, we featured our Matte Satin linen on the table and a new Pleated Curly Willow Chair Cover to add more than a touch of romance.

I began Wildflower Linen in 2001 after a career in fashion design. In that world, one goes to a lot of events and it seemed that although textiles are very important to that industry, that so much more could be done with the most important (and abundant) elements in the room -- tables and chairs. So, I literally brought all my ideas to the proverbial table and haven't looked back.
