2011 was a great year for Platinum Lining Events. I normally take these final days of the year to reflect on everything that has happened in the past year. I can honestly say it’s been a FANTASTIC year! Full of new and exciting changes for me and my business, a year full of WONDERFUL clients and a super arsenal of some the BEST vendors around! My company got a new address and if I can say so myself our new office space is REALLY nice! We were 5 star rated for the 3rd year in a row! We hired a new event specialist and an invitation designer!
Below are Three of our favorite Weddings of 2011!! All of our weddings were special, but I can’t highlight them all!!
I hope they all inspire your upcoming nuptials!
It’s been a great year, I can’t wait to connect with you all in 2012! Stay tuned for some really exciting stuff coming from PLE in the New Year!

Laura and David
Eclectic Woodsy Wedding @ Highland Springs Resort
Laura and David, two attorneys living in New York came to California to Wed. Their venue was at the Highland Springs Resort, a natural wonder in Cherry Valley. Graced with lavender fields and olive groves and an ancient oak tree that has survived for 1100 years, it is one of the quintessential outdoor rustic and romantic wedding locations outside of Palm Springs. This was our third wedding at this location.

At this time of the season, lavender flowers were beginning to bloom. The olive grove provided an enchanting space for portraits and a cocktail area as well. The palette of soft tans, mist green, light lavender complemented perfectly to Laura’s theme. Platinum Lining Events, coordinated and did all of the design and decor mostly with a long distance connection with Laura and David to design this magical day. The couple only came to California twice during the planning process and we had power meetings every time! The incomparable Lauryl Lane, designed the breathtaking botanical inspirations including a Chuppah made of birch and adorned with floral and moss. The reception tablescapes were not only accompanied with flowers but with vintage bird cages, mason jars a linen, burlap blend table linen and lace runners. Every table was decorated slightly different and we had long family tables, square table of 8 and round tables – a surprising touch. Plus, the ingenious use of wood, moss, and other organic touches brought a natural element to the entire design.
Desi Baytan Photography captured the essence of the day and also got us Featured on Style Me Pretty for this wedding! It was amazing.

Euridici & Brian
Elegant Summer Wedding @ Sierra Lakes Country Club
This was such a fun, loving couple! The bride is an elementary teacher and the groom is a business owner!
They got married in the summer and thankfully it wasn’t too hot, it was actually a beautiful day! They had one of the BIGGEST bridal parties I have worked with in a long time (24 people total)!!

They had an elegant, evening wedding with the ceremony outside at the gazebo and then a breathtaking palette of Black and Ivory decor inside at the reception. It was a timeless wedding with simple but elegant touches! Every table had mahogany chiavari chairs, black underlay linens with an ivory organza runners! They had manzinita trees filled with ivory orchids, crystals and candles on half of the tables and the other half had cylinder vases filled with orchids! The groom spared no expense for his beautiful bride!
Euridici & Brian’s wedding was very family focused with the bride and groom blending their families, they made sure their children were an integral part of the ceremony as well as throughout the reception. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony with the bride and groom also exchanging vows with their children! I was honored to help plan and coordinate this special day!
Michelle Johnson photographed this wedding and I just love working with her. Irises Designs did all of the floral arrangements and Boogie Down DJ Services provided the music!

Melynda and Rich
Over the Top, Eggpalnt Infused Wedding @ The Beautiful Claremont Doubletree by Hilton
I loved this wedding because Platinum Lining Events got the opportunity to do all of the design/decor, invitations, vendor recommendations, Planning and coordination. But not only were we honored to be such a huge part of the wedding, Myndi and Rich were so incredibly thankful for the services we provided! That is why they were chosen as one of my top 3 Best weddings of 2011!
We transformed the Claremont Doubletree Hotel into a platinum wedding that was oozing with luxury, eggplant infused beauty! We had a white dance floor delivered, floor to ceiling drapery, crystal embellishments, high and low center pieces and the color eggplant exploding all over the walls!
Check out the picture below of me, the bridal party and the Bride getting a quick peek at the room on our way to the ceremony! The brides expression was priceless!
