| Next up tomorrow....a day of fun videos from our event, including the amazing interviews from our Storybank Productions video booth! |
| We know it began with a hat, from a concept developed by Cathryn VanBreene and Kristin Banta of Kristin Banta Events. What it became, was something farther than our expectations could imagine. First, the amazing InterContinental Los Angeles Century City served as the perfect backdrop for the design concepts developed by Rrivre Davies of Rrivre Works, Inc. |
 |
|
The garden is the perfect backdrop for any party, including the perfect wedding. It's somewhat a traditional ceremony/reception space at first glance: lush trees, green grass, and a flagstone stage and walkway prounounce the countours of the space. But...with a little imagination and the designs and rentals elements from Rrivre Works (including the bar pieces, the lounge areas, and draping included), the traditional garden was transformed into a space of pure imagination and fantasy. |
 |
| InterContinental Executive Chef, Vincent Cachot took our theme to the next level with his culinary delights. |
 |
| the gorgeous floral topiaries by Eddie of Tic-Tock Couture floral... With the amazing linens of Wildflower Linen... |
 |
| And, when the sun faded into night, the amazing light design of Bella Vista Designs transformed the space yet again. And let's not forget about the wonderful music and entertainment 11H Entertainment brought to our party. |
 |
| YWD would also love to thank our event photographers, TripleCord Photography who did a delightful job of capturing the magic of the night. |

The concept for Magique de Nuit could not have been executed without the amazing hats of famed hat designer Louise Green of Louise Green Millinery. Known among celebrities as the "IT" hat when it comes to derby fashion, Louise Green Millinery creations have adorned the crowns of the world's most stylish women, including stars of the voice and screen since 1987.
|
These wearable "works of art" are all intimately handmade and trimmed with the finest ribbons, flowers, feathers and crystals. For comfort, each hat includes a patented silk-covered elastic sweatband, allowing for fit and function in all varieties of head sizes. What a perfect bridal accessory, don't you think?
 |
For Louise Green, what began as a love for design of the past and present, developed into a rare and successful business in the millinery field. "I have always loved to wear hats. I realized early on in my career as a milliner that most women had lost the art of wearing a hat with confidence. With that in mind, I set out to create a line of luscious, romantic hats that are comfortable and easy to wear."

Creative Director Cathryn VanBreene knew the hat would transform the romantic gowns of Claire Pettibone into a mysterious, turn-of-the-century dream!
