Celebrity Event Designer Preston Baily
Weddingstar, one of the world’s leading designers, manufactures and retailers of wedding accessories, has announced a partnership with Preston Bailey, the international wedding and event design icon. Mr. Bailey will design an exclusive collection of wedding reception tabletop accessories. The Preston Bailey Tabletop Collection is expected to appear worldwide at retail in Fall 2012.
Weddingstar will manufacture and distribute the Preston Bailey Tabletop Collection to national, regional and specialty retailers around the world with particular concentration in the U.S., Canada, UK, Russia and Australia. An anticipated 3,000 retail outlets will offer the Preston Bailey Tabletop Collection. Direct-to-consumer sales will be available at www.weddingstar.com.
The initial three-year agreement is a first for both entities. It marks the first occasion that Weddingstar has invited an internationally-recognized event designer to create a signature line of products, and it is also the first time that Preston Bailey has used his artistic vision to create tabletop accessories for world-wide retail distribution. Together, Weddingstar and Mr. Bailey intend to transform the wedding planning experience for brides around the world.
“Our partnership with Preston Bailey will help brides create a Preston Bailey experience for their reception with tabletop accents that are as distinctive and as memorable as is every bride’s wedding,” says Rick Brink, President of Weddingstar. The initial launch will include reception table items such as vases, candleholders, candelabras, place card holders and chair treatments. Not all of the durable materials and production finishes have been chosen at this time. Additional design details, as well as a few select pieces from the collection, will be unveiled prior to the official launch.
Preston Bailey’s one-of-a-kind wedding creations are legendary and he is renowned for transforming generic spaces into spectacular, theatrical experiences. Mr. Bailey’s partnership with Weddingstar will be a multi-tiered product introduction and will give brides the incredible opportunity to select decorative wedding items designed by Preston and augmented with instructions. At long last, everyone can add The Preston Touch™ to their wedding decor.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Weddingstar, a company I have long admired for their impressive selection of quality wedding products and accessories,” says Preston Bailey. “This is a wonderful opportunity to inspire couples and offer practical, accessible solutions. Every bride deserves to have her dream wedding, and we want to help.”
