Rustic Vintage Styled Shoot in Malibu

Rustic weddings are continuing to thrive here in Southern California. However, they have become much more sophisticated. Instead of mason jars and DIY projects, elegance has emerged. Leslie Kaplan of Encore Event Design has taken RUSTIC to a whole new level in a recent photo shoot at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. Leslie incorporated mix matched vintage furniture with timeless elements such as chandeliers, candlesticks, formal china and flatware, and of course, our runners and napkins.

Leslie is not only a wedding planner, but a designer. She likes to think outside of the box. We love how she chose several style of vintage chairs for ceremony seating. What a cozy setting.
The intimate table is set with beautiful details such as, die cut menu cards, candlesticks, delicate vases filled with blossoms, and the most abundant floral arrangements in Grecian urns. The glassware and flatware even scream elegance.


The feature was so beautifully designed and executed, that the wildly popular wedding blog, Style Me Pretty featured it this week. Click here to see the full feature. Our FEATURED LINENS are Shantung table runners in Champagne, with our luxurious Burlap napkin in Luxe. And since we’re talking about runners, you should know that our standard runner is 20″ wide by 120″ long.
