Aside from working with great clients, one of the best perks of my job is working with awesome vendors! I had the honor of collaborating with the very talented Kristin Kato of
A Cake Life and Naomi Lee of
Les Saisons to create last month's display at The Wedding Cafe.
Our inspiration was an artist's studio, hence the paint-stained tarp that served as our table linen and paint cans, brushes and easels that completed the look.
Some of my favorite elements from the display:
The back story on "the fringe"... I had wanted to create this crepe paper fringe for a loooong time and was so happy to finally get the chance to bring it to life! My original plan was to create this stunning backdrop for my booth at the wedding expo. And after seeing how it looked hanging in The Wedding Cafe, I knew that a repeat performance was necessary:

And a final note on the display... While the worn tarp with paint splatters is atypical of
Les Saisons' gorgeous linen offerings, the real benefit of collaborating with someone like Naomi is her eye for design. I consider myself a designer, but I work on a very macro level. My canvas of choice is usually no bigger than 5" x 7". That works in my favor since people hire me to master the details of their stationery, but that skill is not very handy when you need to stage something larger than a breadbox. Watching Naomi work is really like watching an artist in action. She created something from nothing and designed these gorgeous vignettes to showcase my stationery and Kristin's beautiful cakes. That's talent, I tell you.
