The 5th Annual Canstruction Orange County Awards & Fundraising Gala was a huge success! Twenty teams participated in Canstruction this year and helped to send over 80,000 cans of food to the Orange County Food Bank . The gala was an evening of good food, drinks, entertainment, raffle drawings, special guests, a silent auction and the awards presentation.

We are thrilled to be designing and producing the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation ’s 21 st Annual Gala on Saturday, September 22. We’ve been producing this event for over seven years now and we think this will be the best year ever for this incredible charity event benefiting St. Joseph Health and St. Mary Victorville . 100 years ago, nine sisters arrived in Eureka, California with only 60 cents and a place to stay.

The line, featuring elegant pieces in silk, velvet and organza is all about beautifully edited shapes that are provactive, yet reserved. Each and every piece is easy and timeless, which is something we strive to achieve in our event design as well. The Fall 2012 Couture Collection has managed to capture the classic  Valentino  spirit while keeping it modern and fresh; incorporating fan-pleating in sheer opaque and velvet lace and exquisite patterns and embroidery.
