So Fabuluxe! was sincerely honored for the opportunity to showcase some of our most creative and scrumptious designs for this couture "Candyland" themed gifting suite. This event was all about bringing awareness to Children Uniting Nations, (CUN) is one of Los Angeles largest mentoring programs that helps underprivileged and foster children. The children are often forgotten by the system.

The "FABULUXE" Dream Team |
We focused on three distinctive areas to our FABULUXE Land Luxury "sweet" Suite. We featured lavish eye-candy decor, by designing a decadent over sized raspberry frosted cupcake, that stood about 3 feet high. We flanked the outside of our "Sweet Spot" gourmet sweet shop with two "sugar-free" 6ft tall whirly pops and sweetly embellished a centerpiece shaped as a cupcake. What is So Fabuluxe! glad you asked, our unique niche is our ability to utilize fabulous embellishments creating a memorable couture experience. We are a chic, upscale couture event styling and design firm that specializes in one thing: ORIGINALITY. Our custom, bespoke designs are created with you our client in mind, your wishes, desires and fantasy are made reality.

| Welcome to FABULUXE Land |
Our personal suite was imaginatively decorated with a bit of lavishness and edginess. We incorporated a black capped suede tabletop covering. Totally blinged-out stands, with an overall chic French Parisian look. Pink suede was used as the table cloth underneath. Adding luxury to our suite six couture ottomans in soft brushed pink stripes and turquoise was a classic motiff. Over the top, turquoise crocodile covered coffee tables. We do custom designs and rentals...
Our logo was the centerpiece of our suite, our designers suspended an oval shaped beveled styled mirrored, etched and embellished with Swarvoski® crystals. The mirror was attached to a soft pink tufted suede quilt, the look was simply oh-so
FABULUXE! this design was created with the help of (my sweet angel) friend Marcella!
So Fabuluxe! would like to take this opportunity to thank some very special people who we had the pleasure or partnering with us to make our luxury gifting suite a grand success and the talk of the town!

I reached out to my good friend and Executive Chef, Charlene Powell-Hamilton of
Food Decor who exclusively caters to private high-end, luxury clients. Charlene prepared the most mouth watering, delectable giant sized, chocolate dipped strawberries you have ever seen or tasted. Charlene also provided gorgeous crystallized sugar-encrusted red grapes. Wow! the presentation was d-e-l-i-s-h!
We had to keep the staff away from sampling until the event was ready to start...it was the sweetest taste of luxury ever!
We contacted Raj Tents because our Candy land theme was extra sweet, we wanted our designs to pop with colorful luxurious silk organza chiffon's, mixed with the opulence of fuchsia, gold and creams. Thanks to Dominic at
Raj Luxury Tents for helping us fulfill our vision of luxury and class. Visit their site at

I met Kim at an industry event in the summer, we both realized we followed each other on Twitter, but had never met. This was the perfect opportunity for our companies to work together and form a working relationship. Kim invited me over to the BBJ show room in Culver City. As I swooned over all the delicious colors, luxurious textiles and various styles it was quite difficult to make up my mind. Finally, we agreed that the Tulip Garden and the Turquoise L'Amour would be the perfect fit for my event! Thanks Kim for your stylish tips and great tabletop selections for weddings and social occasions.
We sought the help of the amazing
Jen O'Sullivan, a Beverly Hills Wedding Photographer. I met Jen at CRASH the WEDDING: A
"Luxury Green" event for charity. Proceeds were donated to Step Up Women's Network. I was quite impressed with her event and her photogenic style of storytelling. Jen and her assistant Becca captured some stunning shots of our work and several of the celebrities that visited in our suite. See Jen's work at
