Every year Wildflower Linen puts on a fashion show in Orange County using owner and creative director Youngsong Martin's fabulous linens as the dresses. It's a lot of fun and is always on trend. In this case, the mixture of pastel tones, lace looks, taper candles, silver and low floral centerpieces was the perfect forecast the next season of event "fashion."

The guests were the ladies of Chapman University. The Mille Fiori designed the flowers and Good Gracious! Events created a menu rich with style and taste (and just a touch of humor).

Very elegant! I love that milkshake float. It looks divine and it's making me crave for anything cappuccino right now :(
